Hi I’m going on the diabetes remission program where for 3 months you only have milkshakes and soups and then go back to normal food. My latest bloods were 44 while taking metformin so they are saying I’m an excellent candidate. So has anyone been on this, how did you feel and did you achieve...

Ok so I was diagnosed with type 2 and I stumbled upon this place so went ultra low carb and sure enough my numbers dropped to pre diabetes very quickly, I stopped the Metformin by choice but soon slowly started eating whatever I wanted again due to in part stress and a feeling of I couldn’t be...

So Friday I went for my review and was told that in 3 months I’ve completely turned it around and I’m no longer in the range for diabetes however she believes that’s because of the medication and has said I need to continue taking the Metformin at the highest dose, I’m not entirely happy with...

So today I’ve been in to see my GP about some test results and the conversation turned to my diabetes, it went something like this “well I see the nurse has put you on Metformin, why didn’t you want to try diet modification first?” She said I should be on them so that’s what I’ve done, his...

Since my diagnosis I’ve been sent for test after test, first problem high cholesterol, second i now need glasses and today Im told I have sleep apnea! I’m almost scared to go to anymore appointments just in case they find something else. I’m not particularly overweight, don’t get me wrong I...

I give up a year today cold turkey, rushed into A&E thinking I was going to die, long story but it was my wake up call so crushed the packet and that was that. I’m not fishing for a well done or anything but was just wondering if anyone was diagnosed but continued smoking and testing then quit...

Do any of you use this? Was just reading about it and they seem to suggest a tablespoon of it in a glass of water has a dramatic effect on glucose spikes. If you do have you noticed any differences

What things do you always keep a stock of in the food cupboard, before diagnosis I always kept rice and pasta so now they’ve gone I need ideas. Shelf stable non perishable

Never expected what I thought to be a decent Italian restaurant to be so clueless and uninformed about a condition that is so common these days. I explained I had diabetes to one side so no one could hear and he said ok I will get someone to come and talk to you about your requirements, oh yeah...

Has anyone ever qualified for this free trial? I think it’s a con as I’ve tried 3 times with different credentials and been emailed back after an hour telling me I don’t meet the requirements, with what they ask I fail to see how anyone wouldn’t qualify

Well this morning my fasting blood sugar was higher than it’s ever been and I felt really low about it, I was so down I sort of pressed the self destruct button at lunch time and “treated” myself to a can of monster energy drink (with sugar) and consumed my body weight in carbs. No it didn’t...

Hi everyone I’ve been sent home from work today, I worked through lunch and felt a bit hot and got up to get some air, next thing people are fanning me down because I had passed out. I was given a can of Coke and it perked me up but I was assured that I wouldn’t have anything like this with...

I’m hardly eating carbs as most people are recommending and testing before and 2hrs after eating so 3 days in a row I’ve been before eating 5.0 to 6.0 and 2hrs after I’m at 12.0 to 12.5 I just don’t know where I’m going wrong. Please help!

Hi been advised by a friend with type 2 to take vitamin B12 as a precaution to prevent serious side effects to the Metformin. I googled it and wish I didn’t but it seemed to suggest the treatment for this would be B12 injections not a tablet, so I’m interested what you guys think because if the...
