GTF Chromium, not Chromium Picolinate. There's a guy called Christopher Barr, who is absolutely convinced that T2 is absolutely reversible with 100% Wholefood GTF Chromium 3 times a day (300mcg) He claims this has been known for 50 years. Chromium Picolinate does not work he says. He's...

Hi All, I've not been through here in a while. :oops: Something strange (or indeed perfectly explainable) has happened with my BG. At the time of diagnosis about 1.5 years ago I used to get readings between 4-7mmol all the time. Indeed, my first HbA1C was 5.7. After Xmas, 6.4 and later a...

Diagnosed three months ago, I was invited to attend an 'education' afternoon at the NHS Diabetes Centre in Dorchester, Dorset. My thoughts on the visit: - I seemed to be the only one who really understood the condition. Many people knew absolutely nothing. I suspect that Google doesn't exist...

Hi All. Sorry, this is longwinded - but I'd like anyone to comment on whether this is good, bad, weird or anything...... On the 30th April, I had a BG of 17.9mmol - this was the first ever test I'd had(and fasting as well). To put you in the picture, I eat ****(very high carb), I am 21 stone...

I've been ill today - throwing my guts up... :( So, as advised by Doc, I haven't taken Metformin. I'm a bit worried about that - as obviously I want it to start working. So does Metformin have a cumulative effect, or does it literally work for the now, like aspirin or paracetamol? Cheers

I only started monitoring yesterday, but my BG Monitor is yielding some odd results: 2 hours after lunch 6.9 Before dinner 7.9 1 hour after dinner 8.2 2 hour after dinner 8.8 <- Huh? 4 hour after dinner 6.8 Fasting: ie this morning: 8.3 Which I thought was oddly high. So I did it again and...

I've tried to Google this, but whilst I can see there are a lot of different monitors - I can't suss which is better value. Take today, I went into Boots, which have about 8 different ones. They have their own, which is half price at about £6, but the strips are like £25!(I failed to note how...

...In my head I was hearing Doctor Nick from the Simpsons.... :D Newly diagnosed as of Thursday - likely to be Type 2, but it's too early to tell really, apparently....my BG was 17.9 when tested on Thurs :shock: I had a feeling this would happen to be honest, I'm badly overweight, 34 and I...
