I feel my HbA1C numbers maybe flatter me a little, as when using a CGM I see that I get low values at night. I'm regularly seeing 3.5 -4 range at night for periods of under 1 hour. Does this then make daytime values look better in comparison to others than they are, or is this just my paranoia...

Are all lactose free milks the same? Most lactose free milks have the sugar content at 4.5 to 5 g, essentially the same as normal milk, due to the lactose sugar conversion to glucose. However the Arla lactose free milk is stated as 2.6 g of carbs per 100 ml, all sugars. This is about half that...

I have been taking an interest in the concept of remission recently... I am about to get my 2nd NHS Hba1C reading much earlier than I'd expected, and I know from recent home testing with an AC1now test kit and Libre that - barring significant measurement error on both - it will be below the UK...

Hi, I am a type 2 diabetic, diagnosed Autumn 2020 with Hb1Ac above 9% in November. I was started on 1 x 500 mg metformin tablet a day (not slow release), given some standard NHS healthy diet booklets, and left to my own devices since then due to NHS prioritisation of Covid vaccination. As I...
