    Hba1c

    I have received a report from my surgery following a recent blood test. Everything looks fine as I fall into the recommended range for every test that has been carried out. My one concern is that having been diabetic and reversed it 9 months ago my HbA1c is showing at 47. The recommended...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Normally my morning Bs is anything between 5.2 and 6.6. This morning it was 3.4. This seems very low. I checked it again about 15 mins later and it was 3.6. Never been this low before. My diabetes nurse has said I shouldn't drive if it goes much below 5. Help please. I was on 2 X 1000 SR...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Disaster today. 8.6. Did have one plum yesterday and a stir fry with lots and lots of veg but added some Plum and Hoisin sauce. Obviously not a good idea. Fasting BS has been between 6.2 and 7.3 since coming off Glimipiride. It had been 4.2 - 6 so a marked difference. Will check later to see...

    Does this mean I have to start again?

    I read it this morning. It was a comment made on drfuhrman.com website where someone was saying don't eat meat if you want to reverse diabetes. It may be a comment from a reader rather than from the guru himself. Thank you for replying

    Does this mean I have to start again?

    I started the Low Mediterranean Diet recommended in Michael Mosley's Low Blood Sugar Diet book and managed to stick to it for 2 weeks. I lost 8 lbs and my sugar first thing in the morning was between 4.8 and 6.2. I was hungry at times but managed to overcome it. I exercise 3 times a week and...

    Type 2 and confused

    I agree that it is all so confusing. I like cauliflower rice fortunately and if I have a home made curry I choose a bed of cabbage rather than rice. It is delicious and I don't feel deprived. Fruit is a big problem as if I don't have a dessert then I want to have fruit instead. We have all...

    Glimepiride

    I have just been prescribed this tablet on top of Glucophage SR which I have been taking for around 7 or 8 years. I was prescribed Liniglyptin or something like that last year but reacted badly to it after 2 weeks and was then taken off it. I came out covered in a rash all over my face. I was...

    Low carb dips

    I used to have Yoghurt with Hot mango chutney as a low fat dip. Need to watch the sugar content of the chutney but there are lower sugar products on the market.
