Im struggling anyway to reduce my blood sugar levels after mis-managing my diabetes throughout lockdown. However, I had my 2nd jab on Saturday and my levels have been high, this morning it was 16.5 despite eating keto now for the last 2 weeks!

Hi, was diagnosed T2 in 2017 and at first I did everything right, changed my diet, lost weight, and got my hba1c down from 94 to 44. Then it all just fell apart. For the last three years I’ve fallen off the wagon so many times, with periods of getting back on and doing what I should be doing...

I was diagnosed in Feb 17 and got straight into a new diet, cut out carbs, took my medication and tested regularly. After about 6 months I fell off the wagon for about a month but got back on. I’ve now fallen off again and for the last two months I’ve just been in denial of it all. I’m not...

So yesterday and today at around the same time of 4pm my blood sugars have dropped to 4.1 and today 4:8. I've not been doing anything differently. I eat at lunchtime (low carb) and then normally eat again at about 7pm. I take 4 Metformin a day and a statin. Just wondered if anyone else has had...

So today I got the results from my three monthly blood tests since being diagnosed with Type 2. Delighted to say my Hba1c has reduced from 97 to 47, and my cholesterol has come down to 3:2! I'm going to call in to my Drs for a full breakdown but just wanted to share my good news! I take 4...

Hi, I'm not really having a lot of success with the lchf diet which I'm really disappointed about. I'm a slow loser anyway but after 4 months I've only dropped about 10lbs and it's now at a standstill. I'm just wondering if SW is suitable bearing in mind they recommend pasta and rice and lots...

I'm just wondering about this as I was put on statins when I was first diagnosed as T2 in Feb as my cholesterol was slightly high. I'm concerned that the high fat will increase this? Any advice gratefully received, thank you

...are they ok to have as a type2 please?

Hi I was diagnosed T2 on 20 Jan 17 so this is still fairly new to me. I increased Metformin on Monday to 3x500 and I also take 1x80mg Gliclazide and 1 statin. Since last night I've had very low blood sugars. I've just done one and it was 3.1! I'm feeling shaky and have just eaten a pack of...

So I've now been taking Metformin once a day for two weeks, just realised today I should have increased to two tablets daily as of last Friday. Oops! So reading the initial info I was given I can see that after a further two weeks I then increase to 3 tablets and then to four daily. At the...

Hi, Ive got a raging sore throat and am wondering what I can have in relation to cough/cold sweets please?

I've only been diagnosed type 2 for a week so still getting used to bg readings. I've just done my 2 hour post lunch test and its 3.9. This is the lowest level by quite a margin I've had and I just want to know if it's ok? The past few days this reading has been 5.0 5.7 6.3 and 7.9. I had baked...

Hi, so I've been on my tablets now for a week and am adapting to a LCHF diet...although I'm not doing well on the high fats bit as I'm finding it hard to get my head round it! I really want to lose weight, about three stone so at the moment I'm eating mainly fish, prawns eggs chicken green salad...

So 4 days in and I have a few questions if that's ok? Is it ok to do a bg test before eating if I've had a cup of tea or coffee ten mins before or will it affect results? Should I be having full fat milk as at the moment I have semi skimmed or skimmed. I'm trying to keep to a low carb diet...
