I’ve made the ( possibly rash) decision to relax rules over Christmas. I’ve only recently re-started my efforts to low carb again - bad time of year for it! We’re on holiday for two weeks and it usually turns in to an indulgent time. Potatoes don’t really spike me so roast dinner will be fine...

A terrible 15.1 [emoji37]. No one to blame but my self and the excessive carb yesterday [emoji849][emoji20]

2 slices low carb bread with peanut butter and banana ( brunch). Dinner was chicken with oven chips beans and sweetcorn. Evening snack was 6 cheese thins with cheese and sugar free spicy chutney. so far so good. then I had 12 x milk tray chocolates . FBS was 14 this morning ‍♀️

A horrible 14.1 this morning . Onwards and upwards today! Actually downwards with the readings, but you know what I mean

@zand also it’s very hard to feel proud of yourself , how crazy is that?! I am going to make a concerted effort to be kinder to myself

Oh my goodness @Mbaker! They are motivation indeed. I really hope you managed to get your diabetes under control and your eye issues resolved thankyou @DJC3 thank you also for your kind words. You are all so lovely and supportive on here. I think I’ve realised that, although my family and...

@zand you are very kind, thank you

@VashtiB Thank you for your kind words - you're absolutely right - my relationship with good completely defies logic . Onwards snd upwards! Xx

Hi, I am a type 2 diabetic and have been a member of this forum for 7 years. When I first joined my husband and I were trying for a baby and I really needed advice and support to manage my diabetes at the time. Enter stage left - the Diabetes Forum!! Anyway, because of you guys I adopted LCHF...

@Dark Horse thankyou! That has put my mind at rest a bit!

@Juicyj thankyou, this is all so new to me and the slightest thing is causing panic xx

Woke up this morning with a bloodshot right eye. I have background retinopathy (prob brought on by pregnancy). Is this a symptom of it getting worse? Have had a quick look on the net but would like to hear opinions on here pls Thanks R x

Apparently I have nothing to worry about, it might be the infection but I need to keep taking the antibiotics. He also said he'd be more worried about my hypo than going too high and more concerning was to have sugar in the 20s than the occasional early teens. Not convinced, but fair enough!

Cont..... Waiting for a call back from nhs 24. I havent taken any more antibiotics in the meantime just incase....

@asparagusp and @noblehead - thank you both, it could be the infection and I've looked up nitrofurantoin on the web and there's very little in elevated glucose levels. I tools correction dose, which worked a bit too well and I ended up having to correct as my blood sugar dropped to 3 . Seems...

Morning all, Looking for some advice - am now 19 weeks pregnant and up until now my control has been pretty good, last hba1c was 5.4. I've had occasional highs but easily corrected and nothing above 10. Yesterday the doc gave me antibiotics for a UTI ( my second in 6 weeks) and my blood sugar...

@ufukof please call someone, family, friend, Samaritans, whoever. No matter what you may think they ( and you) will be thankful you did. Don't suffer alone. Most people have periods where they feel things can't get any worse but you can get over this. Thinking of you, hugs xxx

Thank you @azure . It's so reassuring to hear from others that have been through this. I will certainly keep an eye out for increases n the next few weeks. I'm on injections but as long as I keep testing hopefully I'll catch highs quickly. It's all so worrying! Am trying to stay zen though

Hi all, I haven't posted for months. I had a miscarraige in April at 8 weeks but the good news is I'm pregnant again and at 15 weeks! So far my Hba1c have been really good,,highest 6.4 and my last one this week is 5.4. I've been making my targets (<7 two hours after food and < 5.5 fasting). I...
