Had my first review with the diabetes nurse since being diagnosed in December. I have been following the LCHF diet and having occasional treats/slips. I chose to do diet and exercise only. My HBA1C has dropped from 7.4 to 5.7. My cholesterol is back down to normal(forgot to ask number). My...

Ok, so been monitoring my bloods and the same thing happened yesterday and now today. Had breakfast at around 11am (half a low carb lidl roll with cream cheese) and a coffee with cream. 2pm started feeling shaky, blurred vision etc. Checked bloods- 3.5 so have no eaten my dinner (chicken...

Yes, about an hour after breakfast (11am) I was at 5.6 which is normal for me. Then at 2pm I was at 4 but felt awful so treat at a hypo and then had my lunch (gammon, eggs, carrots, swede and peas) and then an hour after I was at 3.8. I've now had some cheese and nuts and am around 5. It's all a...

I was worried because I felt awful/ blurred vision, shaking, clammy and really irritable. It's happened three times in the last 24 hours now but not changed my routine at all. One in the night. One at around 2pm- treat with sweets and then ate a meal around twenty mins after. Another at 4pm

The only medications I take are thyroxine and omeprazole.

Moderate walking daily and occasionally go the gym. I eat three meals a day (low carb lidl roll for breakfast, salad etc for lunch and then meat and veg for tea) and sometimes have cheese/nuts as a snack if I feel hungry. I'm due an appointment sometime next month and I was diagnosed in December.

I prefer the 'Sula' brand and they are sweet enough you only need one or two [emoji4]

Hi, I'm type 2 and just treating with LCHF diet and exercise. Just recently I've been having hypos during the night and sometimes in the day. Lowest was 3.3. I self fund to test which I don't mind but I'm confused as the nurse/doctor said I am not at risk of having hypos. The only other time I...

I was diagnosed as PCOS at 13 and at 24 was diagnosed three months ago with type 2. They're both a pain in the back side. I haven't had a period for around 6 years and also have skin tags/oily skin/ hair loss and excess hair where I don't want it. I'm controlling type 2 through LCHF and have...

So have airports never questioned anything? Sorry for keep asking- I'm a worrier! X

I'm type 2 and don't get prescriptions- does this matter?

Hi, I'm self testing- nurse says I don't need too. Am I able to get a note to say I can take my glucose meter on holiday with me? We are travelling to Greece for our honeymoon in July. Does anyone have any experience similar? Thanks x

I have half a lidl protein roll with cream cheese/eggs/ ham on the top, coffee with cream [emoji4]

Hi, I don't mind fasting, but it works out nearly three days because of the times of appointments and what I'm having done etc and I know I'll feel rubbish. Why they can't just move the appointment I don't know x

Hi, Been following low carb for a while now and feel great- bloods always around 5 or 6. I've got to go into hospital next month for two different procedures.. They are two days apart. I have to fast for both and take laxatives in between. Rang the hospital and explained I will feel terrible...

I get this too, sometimes with stress I find or if I'm really tired. Haven't noticed a connection to my blood sugars though x

I got one from Tesco pharmacy for a few quid and council empty them [emoji4]

They know that I'm diabetic and they were very helpful and allow extra time for me with my appointments. I'm a wuss and I have to have the injection- I take my hat off to you! Same with testing, I test religiously so I know what I can/ can't have and what agrees with me etc. Well done and the...

Been diagnosed as T2 for around six weeks now, following LCHF and have lost nearly a stone! My bloods have been between 5-7 depending on the time and what food I've had etc. Just been to the dentist (which I'm terrified of) and my bloods before were 6.8 and just as I sat in the chair I came...

Not a lot of type 2's get testing strips etc on prescription
