Evening all, just a question which has been puzzling me, I've heard people say if your not on medication for diabetes so just controlled by diet and exercise you can't have a hypo? Is this true? So when my numbers go to about 4ish I start to feel a little weird like I should eat something, if I...

I had one on metformin only so was taken off and now diet controlled, perhaps I didn't need them in the first place but it dropped to 3.3 was awful. Hope you don't have one keep an eye on your numbers I'm sure you'll be fine xxxx

I do watch the s@@@ a lot of people eat and think to myself why why me but hey ho that's life, as my 10yr old son told me but mummy you are now so healthy and Slim it was a good thing being diagnosed bless him, we all eat better now so maybe the wake up call I needed! X And for the record I...

Bloody annoying isn't it! I got told at work but you don't have diabetes anymore as your off the meds and diet controlled! And when a colleague was handing out cakes I said no thanks, he said you never have cakes to what I said that's because I'm diabetic, he said I'll bring some lettuce next...

Mornings are not good and it's just typical isn't it as I could eat like a king in the morning, hungry as soon I wake up! I've been having one slice of toast that's seems the limit in the mornings, can't face eggs that early, but very pleased I can still have some cereal every now and then I...

Ok so I have the results: Total 5.3 Tri - 0.8 HDL - 1.7 Ldl - 3.2 She said she will test again in 6mths if it goes up will probably need tablets Nooooo I thought.

Thanks guys going to ask for a breakdown of it today it's so nice to have people to talk to on here as no one I know has diabetes and no one understands about it. I was on 2 metformin a day the doctor told me to reduce to one however that morning I had a hypo so she told me to stop which I did...

Yes read this earlier thank you xxx

Ok I'm seeing my lovely diabetic nurse tomorrow I will ask if she can print me a report and get back to you, he said my good chlosteral had gone up as well as my bad, I was at work so was difficult to ask too many questions. Xx Anyone heard of Gilbert syndrome before?

So apparently my cholesterol is a little high combined 5.3, since low carbing I have been eating more eggs, cheese cream etc could this be why? How do u all get round this? I also have raised bilirubin levels apparently it called Gilbert syndrome, he said you've had this since 2013 have I I...
