Hello folks, So I’m a year into my T2 journey and started out really well reducing my HBA1C from 58 to 39 and 43 within a year. I’m due to go back in 2 months but I definitely know that bad habits have been creeping back. It was the 8 week BSD that worked for me the first time round, so...

So just got my latest result down from 56 to 39. Not only was I over the moon, my doctor was very impressed. Total cholesterol slightly up but ratio is the best he has seen. I’m proud of this achievement but know that I have to keep it up. FSB was 6.1 - does this still sound quite high ?

Hi friends, I’ve been struggling the last few weeks after a pretty successful 8 weeks post T2 diagnosis. Started off with a slice of bread here and there and quickly snowballed. I’ve noticed my bloods over the past few days are hovering around 8 a few hours after eating. I’m starting back...

Hmmm - so after a stressful day and with the sun shining down, I went for a few (3) beers after work - first alcoholic drink in 3 months since diagnosis Coupled this with 3 sausages and a salad when I got home and thought better do a blood test. Very surprised to see a reading of 4.3...

So today I had 1 naan bread, it’s been about 3 months since diagnosis and 2 hours later my bloods are the worst I have seen since I started measuring. Feeling somewhat frustrated as my levels have been looking good - guess I thought that was a sign that I can reintroduce normal eating. Does...

Hi folks, Sorry for asking another question. The past week I’ve been experiencing slightly blurry vision, like I need to squint to get things in focus. As background, I was diagnosed T2 just over 2 months ago with a HbA1c of 58 and since diagnosis, have worked very hard on LCHF and losing...

Hi All, Circa 8 weeks since diagnosed and low carbing has done wonders for me like most people. It’s the morning numbers that I can’t get down which hover in the mid 6’s. Seems like no rhyme or reason for this. Any thoughts on what I can I try ? As some background, my A1c was 58 on...

Hi folks, So I purchased the Codefree kit which is significantly cheaper than my GlucoRx monitor... however the readings are quite different even from the same sample. Question is which one should I trust ... I prefer the numbers of the GlucoRx which are lower As an example, I had a 5.5 vs...

Hi - newbie T2 here looking for some opinions. I’m about 4 weeks in in the LCHF BSD having recently been diagnosed T2 with a HbA1c of 56. A typical days food is Greek Yoghurt for brekkie, ham and egg salad at lunch with a small soup and finally a larger salad in the evening with a slice of...

Hi all, I’m Jay and was diagnosed T2 just over a month ago. I scored a 56 an the hba1c and have been given a grace period of 3 months to see if lifestyle changes can get me back on track. Been following the BSD approach on diet which is tough but getting to grips with it. I bought a blood...
