    Adopting lower carb diet causing temp rise in blood sugar?

    My HbA1c has been creeping back up from 49 in Aug2020 to 58 in June this year. I initially successfully went from 107 to 49 after Type 2 diagnosis in March 2020. A month ago I took myself in hand and went back to lower carb diet I adopted before aiming for 60-70g of carbs a day which worked for...

    FBG and HBa1C relationship

    Hi! I was diagnosed last March. At the end of last month thought I would make a separate note of my fasting blood sugar every day and went into the contour app to back date too. Annoyingly found it went back only to October now rather than June when I bought it but that is by the by. I...

    Fasting blood glucose raised, hoping for reassurance

    Am feeling really annoyed with myself. Had managed to get my levels down and although my fasting BS was typically 6.7-7.0 by the time I have had porridge and walked dogs is always down to between 5.5and 5.7 2 hours later. We have just had a lovely week on holiday in the Lakes but did fall...

    Latest HbA1c so much better than the last

    A random fasting blood test in early March this year at home of 19.6 horrified me and made an appointment to see the GP asap. A blood test ensued and resulted in a call from the hospital late that night to check I was ok and to advise returning to the GPs in the morning. Admittedly the test...
