Hi there, I wonder if anyone has any information that can help me. I have T2, been in tight control since diagnosis 16 months ago, but have had two foot ulcers. Ten days ago I woke up at 3am absolutely famished and passed out while preparing food and trying to test my blood glucose. So I didn't...

Hi everyone, My A1C has been in the 5.5 range since August, 2015 yet my first reading in the morning is usually well over 6. In fact, it was 6.9 today. This was before I ate anything. I'm worried about this. Can anyone comment on this?

Hello people with T2, I was diagnosed in 2015, have my glucose under pretty good control, lost 20 lbs. and am now at a good weight, and am suffering terribly from cold. I have hypothyroidism but sometimes it's hyperthyroidism (not sure what it is at the moment). Yes, I live in Canada but even...

Is there any point telling your employer I wonder? Would it help in any way? I am a recently diagnosed T2 & work as a university professor. I find it hard to get breaks to eat between classes and meetings and I'm having trouble keeping up with an 8 hour day due to fatigue (I also have...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice as a newly diagnosed T2 (2 1/2 months). I lowered my carb intake after reading the material on Blood Sugar 101 and had a nice few days of almost non-diabetic readings. Then today my level dropped to 3.1 (my first hypo in months) and later in the day my level went...

Hello, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes three weeks ago and with severe hypothyroidism just before that (although I have had hypothyroidism for 15 years and was taking medication). My GP and I are both thinking that the Diabetes is a result of the hypothyroidism getting so bad. My...
