I've been in denial about having type 2 diabetes probably since covid. Tomorrow I'm taking back control but I don't know where to start and just feel overwhelmed. I'm tired of being tired and feeling rubbish. My blood sugars are way to high so the test kit will be out tomorrow and will be...

Many thanks for posting this. I live in Scotland and hadn't been told about this. I was diagnosed type 2 in March. Still waiting on my course. Told diabetic nurse that I am following Lchf diet and just been really to get on with it. Recommended to not test bloods too often. Told to lose...

Unfortunately only realised after I have had another glass. Oh well

Just realised I had a glass of lemonade at lunchtime and it was full sugar ! I would never buy this. I think that's what's caused it

Hello. I normally have home made soup for lunch with some oatcakes and my level 2 hours afterwards is usually 6.5. Today I decided to have an apple as well and just tested and it's jumped up to 10.1 Would just an apple cause it to spike as much?

Carbon should be carbs. **** autocorrect!

Just take it one day at a time. I'm just over 2 weeks in now from my diagnosis. I've got a bg monitor and been eating low carbon hi fat. My levels seem pretty steady and weight is beginning to come off. It's easy to be overwhelmed but I try not to let it worry me. You'll be fine x

It was the nairn cheese oatcakes. Don't know if that makes a difference. Have ran out now so onto the normal ones tomorrow x

Thanks. Been trying to stick to full fat yogurt, berries and linseed for breakfast, homemade soup and oatcakes with mackerel pate for lunch then a salad usually with chicken or salmon for dinner until I see what works for me.

Checked when the 3 hours came up at its gone up to 6.2

Thank you. Been trying to avoid carbs but allow myself some oatcakes. That's my treat !

I eventually received my delivery of my bg meter at lunchtime. I took a reading before lunch which was 6.6. I've taken a reading 2 hours after lunch it's 5.8. I had oatcakes with mackerel pate (mackerel with full fat natural yogurt) and an apple. Does that seem right that it's gone down...

I've been having Greek yogurt with linseed and berries. Very yummy and filling. Also means I can take it to work and eat it there

Thank you. I didn't want to waste my doctors time.

I'm getting my head around the challenge of type 2 diabetrs and the lchf eating and enjoying it. One thing I've noticed though is all my joints ache at the as the day goes on. My wrists, elbows, knees and ankles get worse as the day goes on. Anyone else experience this ? Or is it totally...

Thank you all for answering

Many thanks for advice. I'm still getting my head around it all. Apologies the reading was 48 for the HbAlc test as she mentioned I was right on the guidelines. I've ordered a monitor and will Google lchf diets. It seems a lot to get head around and after years of low fat diets just need to...

Evening, Looking for some advice. I went for blood tests at the end of January as I was exhausted. I thought it was my iron levels that were low. Doctor called me back for a fasting blood test. The first blood test gave me a reading of 9.9. The fasting blood test gave me a reading of 4.8...
