Can I quote Microsoft or Apple? on my FB Lol, glad you recovered and congrats on 4 stone loss :-) Regards Woody

I have, but then I noticed that I was looking in the mirror Lol Only Joking ;-)

Thanks, I missed one med this morning and this stopped the danger of Hypo, so I will call doc in the morning after testing my bs, think I am getting this reasonably under control :-)

I missed my morning tablet and the bs was fairly stable, but probably not dropping as much as someone without diabetes by after my mid day meal, I suspect my doctor will change my meds next week, but I will call him tomorrow and self monitor and maybe skip another tablet tomorrow, dependant on...

Thanks Daisy1

I think you hit the nail on the head for most people who get diabetes or even suspected something was wrong, we often go to denial, I was thanks Woody

Thanks Brunneria, I just try to follow a reasonable diet of foods that are not too high in sat fat, sugar etc and over two years I lost 16kg, my feet feel better without the weight and my heart seems better than it was, I can walk further and faster, my Chlosterol like my blood sugar was off the...

Hi Big H, I was in denial, before I was fully diagnosed, I suspected that I may have been Diabetic as an earlyier blood test 1.5 years earlier showed high blood sugar levels, I cut a few sweet alcoholic drinks that were very sweet, but eventually I had another blood test for my Chloesterol and...

Thanks, I think it was because my Hb1AC was at 122 to start with, maybe, but I am only learning :-)

Only to a certain extent, you may be lucky, but it is a silent killer also http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/goodfood/pages/eat-less-saturated-fat.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Cholesterol/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Hi Amber At least you are getting some treatment now, just watch out for low blood sugar once on medication, you will probably need to eat less, but more often to keep your sugar level Woody

Hi I am Woody I think that with anything, keeping it in moderation is the key, I am newly diagnosed as diabetic, but think I have been for a year and a half, I am also suffering from high Chloresterol so, to prevent getting another problem, I would also control fat and saturated fat, we need...

Thanks Bluetit, I see him next week, I have changed from white bread to wholemeal or seeded brown, reduced potatoe intake and sugar at week one and my HbA1c was 122 before (Off the chart), doc quoted circa 30mmol, after first day and first tablet sugar went to 10.2mmol after food, then lower...

Hi I am Woody I have recently been diagnosed as Type 2 and taking 80mg Gliclazide in the morning and before evening meal. My doctor has set a target of between 6 to 10, however I am struggling to keep my blood sugar level up above 7 and it can drop as low as 3.3 even after eating regularily...

I would see the doctor and a diet expert, we all need a balanced diet, diabetic or not, but we do need some carbs, sugar etc... I lost equivelant of 16 bags of sugar 16kg before diagnosis over 2 years, I was on a changed diet for my previous Chloresterol but I did not reduce sugar or carbs tooo...

My Doctor told me to join this web site I would not worry to much at this stage and trust your doctor, I have stage 2, which I think I may have had for over a year, but I have only been diagnosed by the doctor for about two weeks, so I am not far ahead of you in diagnosis. I have noticed that...

Hi My Name is Paul, Hello to all on this Forum I have recently been diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes, which I think I may have had for about a year and a half, shortly after I was diagnosed as having high cholesterol just over 2 years ago. My blood sugar level was about 3x higher than it...
