Ignore my username, lots happened since then. Diagnosed with an hba1c in late March of 143, last week it was 46. Not bad i suppose but it has been 4 and a half months. I’m terrified of gaining even more weight, 2 stone in less than 4 weeks from diagnosis. I haven’t looked in the mirror for...

When I got the 48 hba1c last year is was on a reasonably low carb diet, down from 63. It’s at the point now I feel sick at the sight of meat and can’t manage too many leafy greens due to over doing it slightly. Not being an expert here so bear with. If you take basal insulin, aren’t you...

Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 two years ago. Been managing it with diet and metformin. I’m not over weight but had gd with both children, the second pregnancy required insulin. Last June my Hb1ac was 48 so all good. Thursday is was 142 with the blood glucose at time of testing at 25mmols. I was...

1) I hate metformin as its making me feel sick 2) since diagnosis all I think about is what on earth I'm going to eat for my next meal 3) combine 1 and 2 and I feel totally chunderous at the thought of consuming more protein when all I want to eat to make my stomach feel normal is a load of...

Friday weigh in 8st 9.4lbs. So just over 2lbs but most likely water weight to start with.

I'm in. I weighed myself yesterday for the first time in about two and a half years so starting weight is 8st 11lbs. I'm on a five day high veg juice programme so will weigh again on saturday morning. Good luck! **** you type 2, you better fear me after this....

Its fine, @Avocado Sevenfold, no offence taken. Because I hadn't seen a high result, I will be honest, I was beginning to query a misdiagnosis - I even questioned whether my monitor was working correctly. I'm totally asymptomatic and all my own bloods were in normal range, even fasting was...

Hi, so quick recap, diagnosed type 2 two weeks ago after fasting was 8.9 and hb1ac 59. Went straight to low carbing and have my highest result be 7.2 after a meal. Today is my experiment day, bagel and banana for breakfast, 12 miles run, result was 6.2 (maybe as a result of the exercise). Off to...

I reckon I could afford to lose a stone but breakfast was late so I've basically missed a meal today and calorie intake is about 1000, usually it's about 1500. It's lots less than it was. I don't want to screw up my metabolism (if it's working). Been testing for three days and haven't gone over...

Hi those doing lchf, do you count calories or just let it be? Just not sure to worry about being under or over a generally accepted calorie count for weight loss. Doing a five day high veg juice smoothie program whoch starts on Monday, which will be interesting....

A week after diagnosis, 6.2.

Thank you everyone! Appreciate the feedback.

Hi - just curious as to how much exercise you all do? I've read exercise is a must (for those who can) so good but too much will cause your blood glucose to temporarily increase so bad. I just wondered what your good was and if you ever had a bad. My testing kit arrives today so I'll be able...

Hi everyone, just wanted to say hello. I was diagnosed type 2 on Monday afternoon so no appointment with dr until week after next. Hb1Ac was 59 and fasting bloods were 8.9. Disappointing to be told my previous Hb1Ac was 44 but nobody mentioned anything about pre-diabetes back then. The facts...
