I have been on Statins for around 2 years or so after caving into my GP’s advice. I was never happy in taking them. I had good diet control of my sugar levels but then started to be a bit lax in watching my carb intake. I’ve woken up to the fact that I need to get back in control and have...

Hi all I am T2 diabetic, diet controlled. When I was first diagnosed I changed my eating habits to a low carb diet. Cut out bread, pasta, rice and potatoes as well as all the sugary foods. I did really, really well. I lost around 4 stone in the first year and kept it off. Unfortunately in the...

Hiya, I've not been on here to post for a while but do keep up with you all and I hope you don't mine me asking a question. I have a problem in that my weight is creeping up. I initially lost over 4 1/2 stone when first diagnosed 4 years ago through low carbing but, I've put on a stone in the...

Hi. I have been away from the forum for a little while, trying to take control and acceptance of being diabetic. I was diagosed as type 2 in March 2010. Since then I have lost over 4 1/2 stone in weight. My control is pretty good, low carb diet only. HbA1c of 5.9 at the beginning of the month...

Hi I have just took my BG which has gone down to 3.9 and I am not sure if this is something to worry about :shock: My waking BG was 5.4 and after 20g porridge with some blueberries and raspberries, I took it again an hour later and it was 5.8. Two hours later 4.5 and now, after three hours...

Hi I am T2 dianosed in November 2010. Since then I have been reducing my carbs and testing upon waking and 2 hours after each meal. I can manage bran flakes of a morning (or so I thought :cry: )and test around 4.4 (fasting), which goes up to 5's or 6's (sometimes 4+) 2 hours after. After...

Hi. I was diagnosed as T2 in October 2010, lost 3 stone since March 2010 and, thanks to this wonderful forum, I have cut down on carbs and my HbA1c has dropped a little from 6.4 in March to 6.1 December. I test normally around 4 times a day and my fasting levels are 4.5 to 5.4 on average. We...

Hi everyone I am gradually getting my head together and getting used to what I can and can't eat but wondered if anyone could tell me if Frankfurters or Bratwurst are relatively okay for a T2? The reason I'm asking is that we are off to Cologne Christmas Markets soon and wondered if it would be...

There have been some really helpful replies about my lunch dilemma, which leads to another question - sorry :oops: which is... What can I have with the soup (if anything) is it okay to have a small plate of salad with it? I have just made Petras fabby mushroom soup for my tea but I am worried...

Hi Another question - sory :oops: I have been give access to the first aid room at work to test BG's but there is no running water or paper towells so I used the alchoholic hand cleaner in there and wondered if this was okay to use :?: My only other option is the staff toilets in full...

I was diagnosed with T2 on Thursday and have been trying to get my head around everything :( Everything is being sorted test wise (urine sample, eye test appointment and a follow up with the practice nurse in 3 weeks etc). I have also been given a monitor which I have been using, but my BG...

Hi - I have just been diagnosed (last Friday) as diabetic but am slightly confused with my glucose results. I'm afraid that when my GP told me, I went into shock mode and didn't quite take in what he was saying. Anyhow, I have an appointment to see the Nurse at my surgery in 2 weeks time where...
