Keith As someone who has progress from pre-diabetes to T2, I’d like to know what our (secret) sauce that worked for you. I’m not conscious of everything I eat. I’ve a waist that is 12cm above the max accepted threshold for normal and my HbA1c was 6.8% ~52mmol i believe. So i was to reverse out...

I suppose the question I do have is. as a sufferer of IBS, how soon would I potential notice any side effects.

No, not at all! It’s not in the UK BNF so it’s unlikely to be known. It’s a glucophage but a modified one.

Eventually (as now live in France) someone has taken. price of my increasing Hb1Ac Was Rx 500mg twice a day but reading it’s a nasty ****** in your gut. I have IBS and while there is no SR/XD in France there is another type which is gentler and between myself (a nurse) and a very conscientious...

No so sure I ageee :-) especially as mine keeps making brioche bread and butter pudding and chocolate fig pies!!

Hi I have very fluctuating levels in Shuggah. i’ve not been recording any carbs accurately because in many cases I don’t know what’s the carbs are. Eg a spoon of baked beans for example. Do people record in Shuggah and what’s the best approach, or is there a better way of identifying as close...

Hi all I’ve a simple question. When you’re looking a carbs and recording them say for a sandwich which say has 44g of which sugars is 17g which do you use? Thanks in advance

Hi I use a Codefree BM with Shuggah and calibrate as necessary. One issue I have is the unit is calibrated for mg/dl when I work in mmols. Anyone know how to change in settings as I can’t see it as an option and then manual isn’t at all helpful, in fact doesn’t say how to change. Many thanks.

And low and behold it suddenly connected !!!

OK What’s (and where) do ai get oop2 and is it a pain to install. I did have MiaoMiao but lost the lead and had no problem with it. I’ll try Diabox provided you don’t need a programming degree to install it ‍♂️

Not overly. I don’t like them and I’ve early cardiac disease so been told to have a low fat diet.

I realised I was trying to connect to a libre and not a libre 2. But have changed to a libre 2 and it’s just not playing ball with the latest version. How long should I wait before it should connect? I have a screen save set for 1 minute would that impact ? Thanks in advance

Someone who knows what they’re doing. They don’t have practice nurses in France. Everyone is managed by an endrocrine doctor. As for diet. I’ve stopped all bread etc. But starving in PM. I eat huge portions of chicken fish etc. Just not winning

Hi all Thanks for the responses. I am having a battle getting referred as my Hba1c is twice technically put me in diabetic range but because I’m in France they don’t refer unless it’s very high ***** and it’s loose weight. I find the L2 myself at 100€ a month. Forgetting libre the issue is I...

No i don’t as I rarely take meter readings as I’m needle phobic. It’s only since i started the low carb diet. i’m wondering if I should do low GI rather than low carb. Seems less restrictive

thanks. I usually start eating with a 2.5-3.9 range and then 2 hours will go to 9.5+ rarely high. I’m showing as 87% in range and 12% low and 1 % over 12 for the last month. What i’d normally eat is a cracker with humus but I might get peanut butter which I love anyway.

A week and I’m not able to get enough energy in to make it to the main meal. I’d normally have bread or something to help me get to the next meal but now i’ve so few option (i like or to be honest afford!)

I am hypoing! I feel like poo! Sick and hungry all the time. I think I’ve always had a high carb tolerance.

I’m going hypo alot (2.2-4) since I’ve actively stopped eating carbs and am starving all the time and irritable. Keto diets etc don’t work for me in general and breakfast is my biggest challenge as can’t get to lunch without a headache and no concentration any advice

try not focus too much in the HbA1C is a measure over time (3 months). Keeping your levels in range and proper dieting and exercise is what’s needed. You have anxiety fo a change is numbers will possibly make you more anxious but good news is you HbA1C is going the right way. Well done.
