So if you was monitoring your readings for your GP, would you give the libre or the finger prick? Thank you.

Hello, Does anyone know why my freestyle libre2 measures my glucose levels completely different to the finger prick machine? As in this morning it scanned at 6.5 yet when I tested with a finger prick it was 10.1, and just now I scanned at 5.5 yet the finger prick was 7.1? I’m a type 2 ( for 7...

Hello, A 24hour sick bug has spread through our house, and it was my turn to get it last night. I was sick within a short few hours , then left with shivering feelings headache and extreme tiredness. I’ve woken this more feeling so weak and achy all over including my joints. What type of...

Hello ( so besting in mind I am a mother of a 3 and 6 year old, they don’t sleep great and wake up from 5am so sleep isn’t a problem I can solve with regards to my sugar) so breakfasts range from- full fat plain Greek yogurt, with either a tsp of peanut butter, chia seeds, flaxseeds...

Hello, sorry I didn’t explain it very well, so it’s 12 weeks of complete food replacement, and then over the year gradual food introduction, exercise, along with a diabetic consultant, councillor and fitness expert. I already do low carb, and have taken Sukkarto SR for around 2 years now as...

Hello, Has anyone done the xyla low calorie nhs programme or have been offered it? The diabetic pharmacist and nurse have suggested either the ozempic injection or they’ve offered me this year long course ( only available in some parts of the UK) where for 3 months you have complete meal...

Thank you I am just very hard on myself and so envious of people who can eat anything and it not affect them in anyway. Would it be rude for me to suggest those options as you've mentioned above to the diabetic nurse and pharmacist? I know they are trying their best and only trying to help...

Yes it was low carb and a mixture of couch to 5k spin classes and home exercising, I was so in control and felt amazing , although I lost very little weight, mentally I felt great! I can try low carb again, but my nurse isn't happy with the amount of weight I loose as it's very stubborn and...

Hello I've had my yearly review and as expected my hba1c has gone from 49-60 in the last year, I completely lost track and control from about October onwards, which I won't go into but basically various stresses and anxiety I suffer with. Currently I'm on ST Sukkarto 4x a day 2 at breakfast and...

What is it I should be asking for? I dread abs hate confrontation, but I just really am at a loose end with my sugars, one minute they are good the next they go high like this, I know partly it is stress and sleep but surely it can’t just be the reason why?

Hello, yes everything is unprocessed or full fat, j only use really butter, full fat cheeses feta etc, only occasional processed meat as such would be sausages or fish with breadcrumbs. As I said if I have a pitta then that would be my only carb of the day, I wouldn’t have it the same day as...

She said I was young at 34years to have a hba1c of 50 and she was hoping I would of got into the 40s so she suggested the injections, but I really do not like the sound of them at all and can not find anything positive. I’d rather stay doing what I’m doing slowly gradually and safely, and...

thank you, I wish my nurse would think so.

Thank you everyone, so I started low carb beginning of February, which was at the same time of being diagnosed with a para umlibical hernia and being told I had to have an emergency op, then obviously I was home schooling, so I my anxiety and stress was extremely high. She gave me glicizide to...

hello , Has anyone tried or is anyone using “ Trulicity or ozempic ?” My nurse has suggested me trialling one of the 2, as I’ve been doing low carb the last few weeks and my hba1c has only decreased from 56 to 50, and she isn’t very happy. Neither am I may I add. But since February I’ve had a...
