thanks for the replies. Been eating alot of eggs in omelettes so think I will cur down on them a little. Seeing my GP tuesday so will ask for a fasting test, the morning of the hospital treatment I had a large high fat breakfast so that could well have contributed to the figures. If so it means...

Hi, as the title suggests. Been on a low carb , relatively high fat diet since diagnosed last November. Bloods rarely above 7.0 now. Think I've cracked the diabetes ( type 2) I had to go into hospital Monday. Not on any medication and every test came back A+ except my cholosterol levels...

low carb and NO MEDS - that that's the goal !!

well after my curry and a full garlic naan and at least 6 bacardis I read 7.5 !!! xmas day was a washout for me, family issues meant I had a fast day !!!!!!!! I was 8.5 boxing day morning though - think stress played a big part in that ! been good since and was 6.9 this morning, best result...

Have tried Burgen bread and I like it. However it was before I got my meter so couldn't test. The shop didn't have any so missus bought wholemeal as an alternative. Will try the Burgen again - boiled egg on toast with lots of salt mmmmmmmmmm :) No Lidl nearby but next time I pass one I will...

Hi Steve, My HBA1C was 7.9% when diagnosed 4 weeks ago. Been on low carb for 4 weeks and was tested again after 3 weeks. Its already dropped to 7.6% and with eating to the meter and keeping a food diary my average GC level for last two weeks is 7.7 which, if I've got the calculation right...

Hi, I'm in a similar position. 47, fitter than I've ever been. spin classes and regular mountain biking. Reasonably healthy diet which has just gone to a LC medium fat diet !! Very little alcohol. only risk factor is my dad type 2 from age 65 ! I'm still in shock 4 weeks in. I have refused...
