Well done!!

I use a small pencil case. 50p in asda.

Have you tried this with cooked oats? I know that cooking food sometimes alters the bgl response for some people. Curious to know if it makes a difference for you.

I have just seen on another thread that you are a nurse. So am I, or at least I was until about 10 years ago. It is a very difficult thing to accept that what we were taught and what in all good conscience we advised people to do was wrong. I worked in end of life care ( hospice) so didnt...

Absolutely agree with all.of this. I knew next to nothing about t2d a few weeks ago and what I thought I knew was wrong. Read everything you can find and then decide what is best for you. Have a great time.

I dont think any one from the nhs is going around and attacking people with huge hammers, but I think I mostly agree with jtl. Although I dont think I am an expert on anything. Cant speak for anyone else. I was told no need to test, dont worry about it, take metformin and we will be happy if...

Orning. So glad its thors day. 5.5 . Very bad night.. No sleep and have to amuse a 2 year old.

Thats quite impressive. Apart.from exercise how else are you managing to reduce your glucose levels? Whatever you are doing, keep it up.

I am having a sleepless night and was thinking much the same as you. I joined this forum in ( I think ) july this year, after being dx in june, so a relative newby. The advice support and encouragement I have personally received, to say nothing about the amount I have learnt in just 12 weeks...

Hi. It was oldvatr that mentioned this earlier in this thread. I am hoping he will bet back on this because it is very interesting.

Hello. It really is the pits, isn't it? I was diagnosed on 29th june this year. My course, which apparently will tell me all I need to know, is in February. I didnt want to wait that long! Have agood read of this site. Have alook at peoples signatures and you will see that lots of us had...

I m really glad that it has worked out well.for.you, but I think I have to disagree about the testing. Like you I have lost weight and now have a non diabetic hba1c. But to be honest for me this has always been about avoiding the complications of d. I really really dont want to.go blind. Not...

I take metformin, so not just diet controlled. But personally I find it easier just to cut out as much of the simple carbs as possible. Eating them, especially at the beginning, just made the craving for them so much harder to control. Good luck with it all.

Never heard of it. Off to do dome reading. Thanks.

Did they say why it failed if ketones went above 0.1? Did they continue with the diet with the ones whose diet failed? Did these failures have different results? I have used lchf, but stuck.to about 800 cals a day, using the blood sugar diet (but my own food cos those recipes are dreadful)...

Morning all. 5.8 today. Hope you are all well. I have to entertain and spotty 2 year old today. Pity me.

Good numbers and Greece. Not jealous much!!

Well.done. so good to hear it can go well! Can I ask what was the best thing you found worked and one thing you would do.differently?

I had a nasty moment involving some scones. Onward and upward.

I have just got mine down to 39 and have decided to keep up with the metformin. It has other health benefits and tbh doesn't really do much for t2d. May I ask why you want to stop?
