My fasting readings have always been high 8-9,but overall A1c is 6.3, so not too worried However creeping up to 10. now and double figures concern me. I have heard that wine can reduce readings,(you naughty people on this site have a lot to answer to!) I am not much of a drinker but have become...

Really? I didn't know that-maybe it wasn't the fat then! Thanks for the info

Thank you to everyone who replied. I asked the question as I had a BMI of 24.7 (within range) when diagnosed last June, through a lack of help and advise I tried to stop eating sugar but my food was high in fat instead, this resulted in a BMI of 26.6(overweight). I am happy to say that my BMI...

I was prescribed simvistatin and a further 3 others when first diagnosed they all gave me terrible tingling in my hands and feet (and also cramp in my toes) some gave me a rash. I was changed to atorvastatin 10mg and had no side effects and still take them a year later (chol 3) so maybe you...

Thank you so much for the advice-I have not been doing any additional exercise during the 3 months of weight loss. I do walk on average 3 miles a day with my dogs, but I have always done that. This is the first time I have posted a question on this site, (although I always read the comments)...

As a T2 I have lost 19.5lbs on slimming world diet in 13 weeks so 1.5 lbs a week steady progress. I was having hypos and went to my GP who said that I no longer need glimepiride to lower my levels as my weight loss was doing this . My HBA1C in June this year was 7.4, it has just been re done 3...

Slimming World I was diagnosed Type 2 June 2010 and was not overweight then, however as a result of cutting out sugar I ate more fat and gained weight! It has taken a year to get my medication right and with an HBA1c of 7.4 in June 2011 my GP said I was now within the correct range; so my next...
