I exercise a lot and my weight is fairly stable, and my HBA1C was 51 in june Usually 47 to 50 with a 55 outlier. I dread an injury, as this would stop the exercise, which benefits my Diabetes and Asthma. Also means I am fit enough to ski. I probably eat a volume of Carbohydrates which would...

I had taken 12 20mg Artovastatin and was feeling terrible so went back to Simvastatin 40mg which I seem to tolerate, and the problems went away just as quickly, thank goodness. Just asked to revert at the next appointment, now have to keep the levels steady oh joy!

Good luck getting back to exercise. Like you I find with exercise I can eat well and my weight stays low. Dreading an injury as it would really change my way of life.

I cycle a lot, and after excercise I just try to initially get the salts back into balance Banana (potassium) and something salty. Then try to eat to maintain weight. If you stop you have to reduce the extras exercise allowed.

Hi I am twice as old as you and the eye test can be a bit worrying, but they are first signs and the next test is no worse and may even be better. I would only worry if they increase the frequency of the Retinopathy tests

Hmm Good statistical information but is the certainty related to the fact that is about the limited number of straight line that goes through the busiest part of the graph and divide the other entries, and the choice of one, or is it not a straight line at all? It seems likely that cholesterol...

Thanks @carty I really enjoy walnuts and Greek Yoghurt, recipe dates from Student days when it included a bit of brown sugar needless to say, that was dropped long ago. Joint choice with 25g Aldi Peruvian 64% Chocolate, as a full signal if I crave carbs and have had enough to compensate for the...

Gosh someone like me, I would like a BMI of about 21.5 but I am currently 20.2, I know some feel BMI is daft but I feel as I have gone down from 21.2 due to exercise and perhaps dehydration, It will be hard work to consume enough calories to achieve that. My HBA1c is well controlled on 500mg...

Hi I exercise a fair bit cycled 245 miles last month, 122 so far this month, and I usually hike 10+ miles on a Sunday. I go for Carbs at breakfast slow release unrefined ones with an orange and black coffee, I have done this for over 20 years, it means the ride has to be seriously long before...

I occasionally drink wine, usually red, but do not have a meter. I always try and recork the wine after the second glass. usually goes in reversed. Then if i don't open and recork it it is ok the next day. Why after the second glass? The first glass, is too soon out of the bottle, second glass...

Apologies to anyone who has no good access to a pharmacy, can not get to one due to their condition.or is in a high pollution area. Charlotte DCUK has twice sent me a Get your NHS prescriptions Delivered free, this week. Hence this rant. I thought exercise was important for us diabetics. My...

Scotland Has a new eatwell plate, in England the Dinosaur has not stirred yet. I concur that Low Carb probably needs some validation before we all get too anti eatwell.

Hi Energise, My HBa1C is around 50 and I do not have a meter, but I do a lot of exercise, and start the day with a breakfast which would shock the Low Carb folk but is slow absorption(GI). I cycled 1890 miles in 2015 and Hiked 575 And I think I will exceed that this year. These are group walks...

You have done really well, the swimming is great, but I am puzzled it is not giving you enough of a high, ever thought about adding Cycling in in the spring, Loads of Mapping web assistance so you can get on to side roads. You need some hi Viz kit a bike without suspension and some see me...

Weescotty, Processed Food has sugar(sucrose) and salt, so do some takeaways, even restaurants add some or both. Also the humble spud, Loaf, Rice, Pasta and noodles are carbohydrates, which the body turns to glucose. Hope this helps you with type 2, don't get brought down by it beat it. Rod

maggie if you can eat bars of 64% cocoa solids I am very surprised, Rod
