Thanks for your reply, I was hoping for a simple..."take this supplement" and that will keep your liver happy! I kind of realise that this diabetic thing is not so simple, when hormones, organs etc all want to jump onto the glucose wagon!

How do you stop your liver from joining in the glucose party?

That is so interesting, my carb intake has been so low and I wondered if I might be ketosis so I have actually ordered some strips. I had a 9.5, 2 hours after a small yoghurt breakfast which consisted of 4 tablespoons of alpro, 6 blueberries, tablespoon of oates, sprinkle of chia seeds &...

I had an incredibly hectic working last week. Monday - London, 2 days back to back meetings, arrived home late Tuesday night, worked all day Wednesday, 10 hour day Leeds,Thursday, full day in office Friday. Low carbs all week even when in hotel in Monday night. BG so unpredictable, lowest...

Hi kitties (both of you) I wish I had the sense 10 years ago aged 41 when my GP told me that I was prediabetic to have changed my outlook and diet, maybe my GP should have told me, maybe I should have educated myself. Kitty litter I believe we are the same age( 51). I was not given any advice...

Thank you for your help. I do a vigorous walk for 20-30 minutes after eating but have slipped at bit since the weather has gone colder. I am going to continue with this, I want feel in control of my erratic sugar levels and have a say about what it's doing to me. I know I may end up on meds like...

I wonder if anyone, particularly those that fast as part of controlling their glucose levels can help me. I was diagnosed with type 2 last in August hba1c 52 the latest in October is down to 49. I am trying to manage without meds for as long as I can. I have cut out all processed carbs and...

Hi pugster75 what a terrible way to find out you had type 2. I thought mine was bad enough when I went for routine annual check with GP and discovered my BP was 222/117, I had no symptoms but I think the GP did after discovering these dizzy heights!!!! She looked well shocked. Then the bloods...

I would just like to thank everyone for responding to my post. Although i didn't want to be in 'the club', I am truly grateful that I have found this site and forum. The support you lot give to each other is fantastic and encouraging, I have so much to learn about my diagnosis but I know I am...

Please can anyone tell me what it means to reverse diabetes. I was newly diagnosed with type 2 last week and waiting for my appointment with the diabetic nurse. The GP told me I will always have diabetes so I don't understand how it is possible for some people to reverse it, I want to give it...
