I also dropped my HbA1C from 100 to 33 in a short period of time and also lost 40Kg including some muscle. I have also suffered from the burning and stabbing sensations down my back, flanks and across my shoulders and on a bad day, I've not known what to do with myself. My GPs and DB Nurse...

I hope things work out well for you Hibby65 A couple of points I would add, first being is to recognise that companies will rarely show loyalty when push comes to shove and whilst I wouldn't want you to worry, facing that it maybe unwise to trust that they will 'look after' their staff when...

I have also found that my weight loss has plateaued and after rapid weight loss from low carbs and low calories that fixed my HbA1c, I was encouraged to introduce more calories to give myself more energy but the only effect this is having is to allow weight to increase. I addressed by returning...

checking PV's twitter feed and there seems to be some extreme carb offerings being made to the residents of Clarence House! I am also thinking that some of the TV chefs that have managed significant personal weight loss then don't follow their own eating regime when demonstrating cooking on...

my experience has been that following focused low carb diet (less than 40g per day) resulted in my HbA1c moving from 100 to 33 and staying there for 12 months now but my weight loss stopped after 40Kg even though I could and would like to lose more. If I consume more than 1200 calories a day I...

so what would make me really, really cross is getting disabling complications of my DB and not having accepted the challenges to make changes to my "normal life" when I could have.

I have read your thread with much interest and sincerely hope that you can get some answers to the challenges you are facing. I know we are all different and respond differently to trying to tackle BG levels but I would have to say that you seem to have things happening that are not in my...

well indeed yes. Other comics of Tory influence are also available for the unwary and un-seeing.

oh dear - band-wagons are on fire at the moment aren't they. I have seen plenty of references where Corbyn has stated that he does not support any terrorist organisations. He's called out for a review of arms dealing with our "friends" in middle east that Tories have voted against and has...

I feel for you yellowrose87. It seems difficult to me understanding how you can support your husband with positive diet changes if he is in denial and not wanting to take responsibility for his situation. How would he respond if you removed carbs from his meals? My wife has been excellent in...

Another advocate for Low Carb - reduced my BG by 70% and weight-loss by nearly six stones in as many months. My wife is not a diabetic but has also adopted low carb and she has lost two stones in same period. What have you got to lose by giving it a try? Take seriously is my recommendation...

My experience is that I followed Eat Well plan and low-fat, low calorie regimes and I failed, miserably so. So bad that I was diagnosed as T2 in October. LCHF diet has enabled me to reduce my weight by 36Kg and HbA1c by 66% in six months. My GP has withdrawn my drugs and tells me I am fully in...

Hi Naresh - let me share with you the approach I have taken. Vegetables - I try to avoid those that generally speaking grow below ground with a few exceptions such as Celeriac. Take care with beans and pulses too as these can have higher levels of Carbs. I tend to favour Avocado, Broccoli...

Thank You all :-)

No - will find out when this will be on Monday Thanks for all of the kind responses - they do make a difference and provide encouragement

Feeling quite chuffed today since received my latest HbA1c results and they are now 33 down from 37 last time and 100 first time taken in early October. I have followed lowest carbs and calories I can manage and often calories are well below 1000 in a day, Carbs often less than 30g. Weight loss...

Yep, took me a while to join the dots and reconcile what I had seen in my behaviour over past year. General irritability with people and irrational feeling of some despair over some trivial concerns, most especially at work. Diagnosis of T2 was in a sense a realisation of what medics had...

Thank you all for responses and ideas - there is no doubt that we are all different to some degree and learning will hopefully bring about some improved control on my part. Over past couple of days I have the following results : Yesterday - no intake but 50 mins walk at 07.30. (I tend not to...

Something I have been meaning to ask for a while. I take a brisk power-walk almost every morning for around 45-50 minutes, sometimes longer. I often see fasting BG levels a hour or so later having not eaten since 15hrs previously, around the 6.5 to 7.2 mark, sometimes even higher. On a rare day...

Thanks for sharing Swiggy. I buy the Tesco 85% chocolate which I think is £2 from memory - it's one of my treat items I allow myself, the other being a few salted roast peanuts.
