thanks folks, i figured it was probably not out the ordinary.

Hi, just want to put this out there to see if i'm an odd ball or if this is the norm. I'm managing my levels well through diet (lower carb, higher fat, approx 70 o 90 gr of carbs per day) and Metformin 4 x 500mg After 7 months from diagnosis I'm consistently reading in the low to mid 6's. I...

Got my latest result, 49 (6.6%) well chuffed. Was 115 at diagnosis 6 months ago, after 3 months was down to 65. Now in the 40's and well happy. Next goal is under 45 [emoji3]

Awesome, Well Done! I think doing LCHF has saved me from going on Insulin, it's taken 6 months to get my fasting level down from 22.5 to in the 7's. I'm on max dosage of Metformin, 2000mg and I think had i not kept my carb intake to around 70gr a day I'd be on other medication and/or insulin...

Thanks for the reply, you reminded me that I've not been having my green tea recently, maybe that's made a difference. will have my 2 a day again from tomorrow

i'm on 2000mg per day and up until recently i've been fine. had a couple of dashes to the loo in 5 months but the last 2 to 3 weeks I've constant nausea. the thought of food makes me feel sick and eating is a very unpleasant experience. mentioned it to DN yesterday who is waiting to see the...

I usually drink coors lite although not very often as i get zappy feet at the moment when drinking. I'll look out for Miller Lite though if it's even over in carbs, thanks for the above post

I can't handle nuts, love em but my body doesn't. i'm better eating a bit of chocolate than eating a few nuts. wierd how different things affect different folks. Gluten free flour is fine though so there is hope :)

Food is now a necessity rather than an indulgence :( finger pricking :( :( on the up side, i've not felt this good for years and i'll most likely live longer than i would have done with my old lifestyle.

My GP is pretty good, he gives the 'official advice' and then talks 'off the record'. I've seen him a few times in the last 3 months and we talk about what i'm doing and where I find my information. He complimented me today saying i've made the biggest and quickest turn around of any T2...

I'd just like to say a big thank you to this site and all on here I've just had my second HbA1c results and although there is more work to do I'm managing this thing well My first HbA1c was 115mmol (IFCC) or 12.% My results from this week are 65mmol (IFCC) or 8.1% thanks to this forum and...

Wow, well done getting down to the 6's so quickly i'm nearly 9 weeks in and am only hitting the 9's from low 20's. i get down to high 6's low 7's during the day but my lowest fasting so far is 9.3. my eyes are pretty much back on prescription now so i can use all of my glasses again. The...

As folks have indicated, lower carbs is the way to go. I've cut out refined sugars (except for the odd square of dark chocolate) I have very little starchy carbs, i.e. two small spuds on a sunday dinner, low carb rolls from lidl, low carb pasta and tortilla wraps. The only fruit i eat are...

Ah, sorry about that. We put the Tomato and Pepper sauce on before the cheese goes on

Diagnosis 3 weeks ago was 115, hoping to make a big dent in that number by the time I'm tested again in September.

Apologies for the delay, here is my Wife's Bread Roll Pizza Recipe Low carb high protein bread roll pizza Ingredients 3 high protein low carbohydrate rolls from Lidl Bruchetta style sauce: 4 large tomatoes roughly chopped 1 sweet pepper roughly chopped (any colour but I used green) Tblspn...

Hi folks, My wife and I got creative and did diabetic friendly pizza using the high protein rolls from lidl. I had the idea and she worked her magic and came up with the finished recipe. The base is a fresh tomato, chopped and mixed with chopped green pepper. The cheese is mozzarella and Gouda...

From what I've read (also asked) on here I think it's fairly normal to see changes as BG is correct I'm going through an eyesight change too. had a new prescription last October, diagnosed T2 2.5 weeks ago. After a week of cutting sugar and lowering carbs i've had to go back to my pre-October...

I had frozen shoulder last year and was referred to this chap i followed the exercises for a couple of months while waiting for my appointment. The exercises helped a little but ended up with a high volume steroid/saline injection to break up the shoulder capsule. all was great for a few...

thanks folks, i guess i was just looking for reassurance, i'd seen some posts (LCHF forum) where people had gone from 20's to 8's in one or two weeks. I had a blip mid week and have identified the homemade cheese sauce my wife made as the culprit. Odd that homemade parselty sauce didn't have...
