    8 weeks of low-carb + metformin halved my HbA1c

    @fuinneamh Brilliant reduction from terrifyingly high numbers. Well done. That's amazing. You have shown, just what can be achieved. Reduced my Hba1c from 80 down to 62 since joining Diabetes.co.uk and taking advice from members about low Carbs. I only had results a couple of days ago. I...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Good Morning Everybody...... Today's BG 6.6 mmol. Been in the 5 hive for a week and slipped back a little, but know this was because of mistakes / giving in to temptation. I know what needs doing to re-join the hive, so expect to see me back in there before long....... I'm pondering joining...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Hi mj224: Im finding out personally, that all cereal spikes me. Some cereal (Shreddies for example) to extraordinary high BG readings, others not so high, but still way too high. (Up to 20's mmol spikes) I've taken all cereal including Porridge off my menu. Perhaps somebody whose knowledge is...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Thanks for your response. I'm doing Blood retest soon and will ask what my previous and current levels Triglycerides are. I'm on Atorvastatin already. Been on them several / many years. I'm sure poor diet got me into this dilemma and is something I've only recently started working, to improve...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Just had a call from Doctor Surgery. My fat TG levels are very high and he wants me to re-test and see me. Can someone please tell me what HbA1C levels are. Mine were 80 and are now 62. I think that's an improvement, but just don't know what it means. Apologies its off topic. Many Thanks

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Thanks for replying. I usually get very tired and drop off to sleep quickly, but 3 hours or close too, later, I'm awake and then can't nod off again for a couple of hours. My bedtime BG level has improved over past couple of months, but can still be erratic and also in Double figures mmol on...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Yes @mojo37 it can make for very very long days, when a few hours shut eye is needed. Very frustrating indeed. I find it such a relief when I've been to bed and awaken to light outside, but it doesn't happen often enough.

    WoW another cracking result .BG 4.3mmol on waking. @MissMuffett Hugs @LivingLightly will go all out for a further reduction during the day of Carbs, stick to it as well as I can and see if my sleep improves. There is no obvious reason I can think of, to me waking in early hours...... Sometimes...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Lol nothing exciting keeping me up! It's not unusual for me to be awake at 3am. There are times when I'm in bed for 10pm and I just awaken, can't get back to sleep, so I stay up for a while until tiredness kicks in again. I may stay up an hour or two. Regular sleep from 11pm to 7am, with no...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I still have leg and foot issues currently, but am tinkering with some heart meds, that have side effects of swollen legs and ankles etc. Situation is fluid and ongoing, but am hoping for a change for the better. I have issues with numbness, no feeling in parts and stinging plus burning pain...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    BG 7.3 mmol after 4 days in the 5s. I did however, have a 3am snack ( which I avoided when getting '5'mmol readings. I'll keep trying for good consistency. But it's so easy to lose your way..... Have a lovely peaceful Sunday.
