I was diagnosed with type 2 just over 2 years ago, with diet and exercise I reversed it after a year and I’m in no meds. I’m Male 54 years old. I have just had another fever which is my 4th since October last year. Had one in October two in February just 2 weeks apart and this one one now. The...

So I had a really nasty virus in February and not felt quite right since. So decided to get one of those health screens done just to wet mind at rest. All my obvious diabetes stuff was checked month ago by GP and all more or less good cholesterol bit high. In this test Hbac1 was little better 43...

Not really diabetes related but I know you guys are knowledgeable and just trying to put my mind at rest a bit. Fortunately now have my type 2 under control with diet/exercise. But with my last Hbac test (40) my GP ordered some other general blood as I’ve had a few fevers well actually 3 in last...

I went for Hba1c today still waiting on that. But also had FBC. Everything was normal except WBC was very slightly high 11.5 range is 11. I had very bad fever and cough last week. Basically just wondering how long after a bad fever would WBC be raised. I still feel bit post viral and slight...

Had my 3 month test and everything more or less ok Hba was 39. Of slight concern was low HDL chlosterol/ high triglycerides although both just within range I’d like them to be better. Is there anything obvious I can do ? I’ve lost 3 stone now 87kg so pretty much ok I’m 6ft. I walk 70/80 miles a...

Not so much in regard to diabetes but just generally any adverse reactions to this. Having it early in the morning and not sure if I should make any plans for the day or just stay home in case feel bit dodgy ?

Just wanted to say big thank you to this place. Was in total panic when got diagnosis 6 months ago. After some reading I decided to go the Diet and exercise root for a bit and see how things went. My first Hbac1 was 101 end of March. Next went to 52 latest last week 38. Was hoping for anything...

So basically as I’ve done really well last 3 months with diet and exercise. Hb 101 to 52 and lost 2 stone. My numbers consistently 5s or high 4s before meal I decided to see how I’d react to a slice of cheese cake. So stopped at my favourite patisserie on way home had a decent size slice of...

Has anyone tried this ? I think it’s safe as it’s basically the root of a vegetable. It is reported to be good for glucose regulation although obviously that’s just internet reports. It’s reported as a great general tonic. Bought some today and tried it with coconut milk and tbh it’s pretty...

So my diagnosis was March 23rd with Hba1c of 101 test yesterday was 52. I decided not to take medication so this is just with exercise mainly walking and diet. I’ve lost 9kg as well. I realise this is still above range. But should I be happy with these results? Also the tests were only 10 weeks...

I’m in my first cycle from diagnosis to 2nd Hbac test. I decided to try with exercise and diet and seems to be working lost 15lbs in 2 months and pre evening meal bloods usually 5-6 unless been a bit naughty at lunch. Was in Camden yesterday and couldn’t resist steak sandwich with wedge chips...

Basically was diagnosed a month ago type 2 ( which I’m a bit dubious about but that’s another story) I decided to see how I’d go on diet and exercise. Last 3 weeks my numbers been excellent 4-7 pre evening meal and been around 5 all this week. I’ve lost nearly 4kg so all was pretty happy. Today...

So I’ve just been diagnosed. First off I just need to check that the blood sugar result for glucose you get from a blood test is effectively same as meter reading? The blood test result was 16.5. Today I saw nurse I hadn’t eaten for about 3 hours and she took a reading of 13.5. I’ve now not...

Nurse said today need to change needle with every test. Is that really necessary?

Just diagnosed and I’m working out a diet plan. So far ok on lunch and dinner but struggling a bit on breakfast. At home I used to have Frosties or a croissant and jam, going out I’d have scrambled eggs and salmon. I think I’m right in thinking eggs are ok but I’d like to keep that as a going...

Well just had a call from doctor. I had a urine test Tuesday and they found some sugar so had bloods done yesterday. I had a few possible symptoms drinking a bit more and peeing bit more but nothing excessive. I had test a year ago and everything was fine. All other tests just had were fine. But...

I’ve been feeling bit under weather but I have ME and presumed it was that. But my GP ordered some bloods and a urine test. So lunch time today I went and did urine test. Now before I did the test I had a croissant jam large hot chocolate for breakfast. Then lunch I had chicken salad/Mayo...
