Thanks. I am booked in at the drs for Tuesday. I haven't had any other illnesses recently. I think it is down to me getting back into a "comfort" eating zone as I had two years of Hba 1c's of 38 and 39 and basically forgot about diabetes. It has given me a kick up the backside though. This...

10 - feel rough. :(

Hello all, been diabetic for about 3 years and controlled quite well through diet and exercise. However, started to feel quite unwell lately, weak, thirsty, bad numb spots in legs and feet, tingling. I bought some test strips and am getting a blood sugar reading of 10 in the morning before...

Thanks. So, my numbers are good, but does that mean I won't get any of the nasty stuff that comes as part of the package like neuropathy, muscle loss etc?

Hi, I was diagnosed in Jan of last year with a GTT of 13.2 and a HBA1C of 55. Since then I have started exercising a lot, but pretty much eat what I want except the obvious sweet stuff like cakes, sweets, biscuits, puddings etc. My random tests are always fine and my last 3 HBA1C tests have...

I have gone from a HBA1C of 55 at diagnosis a year ago to 41 three months ago to 39 on New Years Eve. I low carb and exercise a lot. My feet are getting worse and my Dr says the damage there now will be there forever and that basically things will get worse with time as diabetes is progressive...

You take the impact away on a bike mate. Unless you fall off! ;)

I ride a bike mate. It is definitely more feet friendly than walking or running.

Yes, any exercise will help.

My Dr has repeatedly told me that neuropathy damage is permanent.

Cheers guys. Even though I'm pleased there is a downside as my Dr thinks i'm suffering some neuropathy. :(

I tolerate all fruit except for bananas pretty well.

I'm at a Hba1c of 39 and a randon non fasting blood sugar of 5.7. BMI is 26. No drugs introduced as yet. Does this sound like I'm on the right track?

I'm type 2 and very well controlled without drugs. Hba1c of 39. My dr suspects neuropathy in my feet and siad in some cases it just happens no matter how well controlled you are. I guess some cases are down to the luck of the draw.

Singapore chow mein doesn't really affect me and I am usually back in the 5's in two hours or so.

My last chol reading was 5.2 and my Dr was well pleased with it. I am hoping I can shave another few digits off my latest Hba1c of 41 with a bit more weight loss.

My Dr has me in for a HBA1C every 3 months and while I am there they do my cholesterol and BP. Mine is type 2 controlled by diet and exercise.

I went to see my GP and he was very pleased with me. No need for diabetic meds and he is looking to take me off my low dose statin soon. He said I am now a diabetic with a none diabetic profile as everything came back normal and to carry on with what i have been doing for the last 90 days as...

The only meds I take right now are statins. I have reduced my HBA1C by 14 points in 90 days by diet and exercise. My weight is at a healthy level too. I can tolerate some carbs each day. Brown rice, small amount of potatoes or one slice of Bergen bread do not spike me, so I eat them. I guess...

Hello, I just had my second HBA1C after being diagnosed type 2 with one of 55 in January. Dr told me to lose weight and watch my diet, exercise more etc. I have done all that. I am not on any meds at present. My latest HBA1C came in at 41. Will I now have to take meds or does that sound ok...
