Okay, just heard today that my latest HbA1c (as measured last week) are down from August 2018 (51 mol/mmol), December 2018 (58 mol/mmol - diagnosed T2) to the latest one - 26 mol/mmol. Anyone know if such a drop is usual? Or perhaps requires re-clarification? My blood glucose monitor was...

@Winnie53 - i'm generalising, in as much as the most common high fat can also contain moderate to high levels of protein, i'm thinking along the lines of full fat cheese, various nuts, fish, eggs, chia seeds....

@Winnie53 - Yeah, link is:- https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00001870 As stated earlier it is for a study proposal and any subject matter should be taken as it is shown i would suggest. I hear what your saying @Dr Snoddy - and would agree that there are negatives to the proposal using...

Quote from an american study proposal: "Diabetes is a disease characterised by decreased sensitivity to the action on insulin to promote sugar (glucose) use and blood vessel relaxation (vasodilation) in muscle. Insulin's ability to cause blood vessel relaxation is controlled, in part, by nitric...

Talking of strange smells, I've always loved the taste of pork, e.g. pork belly, chops etc - loved it. But in the previous year up to my T2 diagnosis (and change in diet etc.), whilst I still liked the meat, the smell of it cooking absolutely nauseated me, put me off. It was like a chemical...

"a slight taste of it on a fingertip tasted of a saccharine tablet" Like the Persian Avicenna, the sweet taste of the afflicted person's urine was noted way back in history - so your in good company in your method there!. And the name "Mellitus" is supposedly meant to be another way of...

Done it myself, it works.....lost circa 2stone 5lbs (5'7" tall, originally weighing 14stone). Waiting for the official result from my latest HbA1c (was starting in Jan 19 at 58 mmol/mol), but by tracking my own blood glucose at various times each day (x4 - 6) pre and post prandial, estimated...

...of course, the sadness in all of this is that i suspect that if there was a little bit more thought, the NHS could maybe issue a suitable meter and testing strips to more T2's, as IMHO to know where you are pre and post prandial, and various other times (regarding blood glucose) is highly...

I can highly recommend the Accu Chek Mobile, although will grant that the cassette's are somewhat pricey at around £15.00 GBP for x50 tests (lancets around £5.00 GBP x6). Works really well, no sharps to dispose of and if you fill-in a brief form, subject to supplies then Roche will send you a...

"Very tempted to have a bunless big mac for a meal this weekend." Might as well just bung one in the oven (burger) and cook it yourself. No point in paying for something that is nothing like a McD's lol...

Once every so often (Aero) is not going to kill the guy and moreover, highly unlikely to make any kind of dent in the HbA1c if it’s no more than once every week or so. Of course everyone handles things in different ways but there are some real scaremongers on these sites it seems.

"At the end of the day it's your body, your diabetes, your eyes, your feet." Exactly! and this is where for me, the lines are somewhat blurred by the official resources. I'm trying to find out if any T2 actually occasionally enjoys a normal, unadulterated takeaway and with what frequency - and...

Many thanks for the replies, and i guess really what i am asking - is how often members on here may (or may not) say "sod it" and throw caution to the wind and enjoy a full takeout on however many days each week/fortnight/month/ quarter etc.? Having refrained for nearly 3 months, just trying to...

So, having refrained from eating any takeaway food since the end of December, if one was so inclined - what frequency would anyone enjoy the odd Chinese, Indian, pizza etc.? Have read the various websites regarding advice, and tbh - advice like you can enjoy the same food as anyone else as long...

Hi all, Have been lurking in the background and absorbing many things from many resources since my T2 diagnosis back in early January of this year. Originally in August last year it all started with a badly upset stomach (for many months) and was told my blood sugars were “slightly high”...
