Went to docs in evening. He’s diagnosed IBS with a simple drug to cure. Also if my hba1c is still less than 6.5 to stop the one metformin a day. May need a little more diet control but worth it I think

I do check and recently an average has been 6.2. Slightly up! Had my hba1c test this morning and seeing dn next month

Always take it after breakfast. I may have increased my carb level slightly and am seeing doc this evening.

I have for 3 years taken only one tablet a day but suddenly the digestive problems have returned. Has anyone else had this slow symptom return?

It was 5.8

It was 5.8

A quick one. We all know various foods spike our numbers but I find 2 hours after weetabix or 2 slices granary bread my 5.8 ish is only maybe 6.2. Does that mean I’m ok ?

Wonderful @Starfish18 !

Don’t get depressed - no need too! How about a treat like strawberries and cream or raspberries and cream. If on a budget short dated fruit is usually reduced in price. I’m lucky not needing to budget too much but I often have tinned mackerell in tomato sauce with salad, corned beef and any of...

I have never said I have reversed my type 2 but over 2 to 3 years on lchf I have lost 4 stone and my hba1c is always 6 or below. My other bloods have been good to and blood pressure reduced. I have a fantastic diabetic nurse and see her twice a year. Although she is an NHS diet trained person...

Very odd. BS at bedtime 5.4 and on awakening 5.7

I shall keep an eye open!!

I try and overall in 2 years my HBA1C has reduced from 6.5 and my weight by 4 stone. It does seem to have been a long haul. Strangely my wife said to me let’s go for an Indian tonight - first in 2 years. BS before 5.7 and on arrival home only 5.0 BUT I had 3 glasses of wine and a single whisky...

Second year in! HBA1C 6.0. Chloresterol 4.3. Everything else normal. Urine test sent to lab and eyes next week. Medicine still 1 X500 Metformin daily. Weight a tad less at just under 13 stone from 17 stone 2 years ago. DN was happy - should I be?

Thanks for all the replies. I think I shall pass on the Balti ! Complacency is an easy trap to fall into. So it’s steak I think! Much safer!

This is simple - or is it! My HBA1C was 5.7 then 5.8. My waking level is normally just below 6 and even 2 hours after a meal it’s normally only a fraction over 6. Bedtime between 4.6 and 5.9 depending on any alcohol intake. In two years never had a reading over 7.5. My simple question is I...

6.3 this morning - bit more than I like - normally just under 6.0. Never mind - hopefully a days work will solve it ! [emoji45]

I’m afraid my honey days are now long over but thank you for confirmation

Thank you @bulkbiker - I thought so. Never mind - another one of my joys gone. I shall continue with my glass of Pinot Noir!!
