With a finger prick. Left it an hour after I threw some milk chocolate down my throat and readings of 6.0 and 5.9 now. Just seemed really low to me.

Been getting readings last couple weeks between 4.9 and 5.8 which is great. Tested this lunchtime and 3.8 and 3.7. Those low readings concerned me so done more just now and 3.4 and 3.3. Should I be concerned? Just crammed some dairy milk down my throat in case!!!

Above post was meant to rely to you and thanks for kind words. Am not letting this beat me not a chance.

Thanks. Luckily I have a switched on nurse who is advocating no drugs and pushing me on the LCHF front. 4.8 again this morning after a heavy night on the rum and coke zero. [emoji85] Blood pressure has come right down too. Should have done this 2 years ago and not waited for a, life changing...

Thought I'd share. Diagnosed T2 Dec with readings of 8.1 and 8.2. Been on LCHF since day one and have shifted 20lbs so down to 14st 5lb so another stone to go but good start. My blood pressure was 130 over 80 so borderline high too. Last week I had full lipid test and liver kidney thyroid...

When I had my eye test I explained what had happened regarding sudden eyesight deterioration and that my GP had asked me to do a blood test for diabetes and to get my eyes checked out. Explained I was still waiting for results and asked if diabetes could affect eyesight and if they would return...

I actually paid 130 quid for new glasses but was embarrassed to admit that earlier. So I went into the local branch and explained situation and said best they could do is 50% reduction on a new pair. Made a complaint on their online portal and had a call from the branch manager within the hour...

Well after just under a week of almost no carbs my eyesight has reverted back to how it was previously. Typically the day after my new glasses arrived [emoji85]

Had the same, eyesight dropped off a cliff and anything 10 yards away is blurry. Freaked out and booked spec savers appointment and also for blood test at docs. Eyes in good health although far away vision screwed up and mentioned diabetes and he pulled up a massive image of my eyes and said...

Thanks both for taking the time to reply. Have got the prescription for my eye test so have ordered a cheap pair online for now reason being I cannot now read a number plate from 20 yards with my current glasses so would lose my license if pulled over and checked. My eyes have gotten so bad...

Bit down tonight. My eyesight has fallen off a cliff last few weeks and quite alarmed me. Going from playing darts not requiring my glasses to not being able to focus on dart board with glasses. Same watching TV. Contacted GP for blood tests and also booked in for eye checkup. Eye checkup came...
