I didn't get my meter until a couple of weeks after so I've personally NEVER seen a diabetic reading from myself. I understand that diagnoses can be made on a single test. NICE only offer guidance not rules. If I was well into diabetes range I would not bother but my one and only reading is...

I've only ever had one reading that was in the diabetic range ever. NICE recommend two readings for a diagnosis.

My GP says I am T2D

What is D2?

I think I would like to be reclassified as pre-diabetic. No label ( sort of) but they still keep an eye on you. :-)

What was 'O' ?

Is pre-diabetes curable?

@jack412 has some good links

@AndBreathe what are the best/worst vegetables carbs wise? I've never researched it as I've always thought the portion size didn't warrant it...

Thought I was cynical lol! Realistically, you maximise fees by keeping residents alive for longer. Or you give them the best quality of life....

I would think it would be needed to be approved by the mods too! It is a great idea tho :-)

A basic template for low carbing might be useful followed up by personal tweaking as we all have different levels of carb intake anyhow...

Yes, it's badly needed. Learning how to low carb is a steep learning curve. I got so much advice - mostly good - but in the end I decided to only follow the advice of those who had achieved non-diabetic hba1c's.

The jury is probably out on this - the bodies cells become less effective as we get older and older. If you were to test any elderly person you would find early signs of damage in most of the major organs. I agree with the nursing home - let your mum have her cake and eat it! :-)

Why wasn't LCHF for you?

@AndBreathe Can I take it you are in the UK?

How long have you had non-diabetic hba1c levels? @AndBreathe

@AndBreathe I'm fascinated to hear that you have been taken off the diabetic register. You're not the first I've heard of. How did you go about that and what sort of resistance did you meet?

Too high in carbs for me.

I don't use the 'C' word as it sends some people apoplectic. Diabetes is certainly a reversible condition for many people :-)
