Test results back albeit 6 months later than normal! Still low carb diet but during pandemic a little more wine and whisky but:- HBAC 5.9 and all other levels ok except a slight rise in chlorestorol. Maybe need a little less cream!! For all the strugglers it can be done. Four years now and 4...

Suddenly had a craving for Spam! Not had it for years! Is it too processed ? Fat content is high as is salt but you don’t eat the whole can! Anyone else tried it?

For the last 3 years I have been on 1 Metformin a day and my fasting blood sugar was about 5.7 and last hbac1d was also 5.7. I asked to come off metformin a month ago. Now my fasting blood is creeping up to 7.1 on waking. Should I be back on the 1 Metformin?

I came off metformin, I tablet per day, after last hbaic of 5.7. This is 3 years after being diagnosed. I have noticed my own tests have increased slightly with the fasting test on wakening now approximately 6.00 to 6.5. Later in day not too bad but always over what I used to be. Does this mean...

After being on only one 500 mg per day the nurse, having seen my hba1c results has agreed I should stop. My hbA1c has been a constant 5.7 for a year. Stopped taking it 3 days ago and the symptoms are similar to when you start them. Has anyone else had this problem ?

I have for 3 years taken only one tablet a day but suddenly the digestive problems have returned. Has anyone else had this slow symptom return?

A quick one. We all know various foods spike our numbers but I find 2 hours after weetabix or 2 slices granary bread my 5.8 ish is only maybe 6.2. Does that mean I’m ok ?

Second year in! HBA1C 6.0. Chloresterol 4.3. Everything else normal. Urine test sent to lab and eyes next week. Medicine still 1 X500 Metformin daily. Weight a tad less at just under 13 stone from 17 stone 2 years ago. DN was happy - should I be?

This is simple - or is it! My HBA1C was 5.7 then 5.8. My waking level is normally just below 6 and even 2 hours after a meal it’s normally only a fraction over 6. Bedtime between 4.6 and 5.9 depending on any alcohol intake. In two years never had a reading over 7.5. My simple question is I...

Is honey a no no? I would have thought off limits but various articles say ok!

Like most people I enjoy my wine and whisky! My query is quantity - and I’m not talking about government guidelines although agree in moderation. My last two HBA1C have been 5.7 and 5.8. I know if you test after a 3 glasses of wine the bs is reduced but am I doing any harm as long as I don’t...

Having been diagnosed nearly 2 years ago with type 2 I’ve got my HBA1C down to 5.8. Food at the start was difficult and did get a little boring but now even things like burgers and sausages, if you make the right choice are only 2g per portion. With salad and maybe a few low sugar/salt baked...

Wonder if anyone knows. By sugars are reasonably maintained- last HBA1C 5.7. Fasting bloods 5.5 to 5.7. One metformin daily. Still get dreadful itching particularly at night - moisturisers help but don’t cure.

HBA1C today 5.8. 6 Months ago 5.7. 12 months ago 6.3. Was hoping for further reduction but maybe not possible. DN is really happy with me. Sort of a model patient! All other tests good and weight drop only 2 pounds this time but in one year down from 17 stone to 13. Was hoping for HBA1C of...

A new thread maybe - mine is two squares of 85% chocolate and strawberries or raspberries with double cream! BS always around 5.7 to 6.0.

I have seen the other threads but wonder if anyone has other opinions. I am type 2 and my last Hbaic was 5.7. My average fbg is 5.9 to 6.1. I get this crazy itching on back of arms and on lower rib cage - particularly on waking. Only treatment appears to be hydrocortisone cream which is not the...

So diagnosed 14 months ago - went on lchf diet. Down from just over 17 stone to just under 13 stone. Last HBA1C was 5.7 BUT still occasionally get my original symptom of peeing a lot for the odd half day and lightheaded ness. Does anyone else get this?

A little oddity. After a year I have my bs down to 5.7 to 6.2 (fasting). One the odd night like tonight I have 3 glasses of my favourite claret with dinner and my reading before eating was 6.5 but 2 hours after only 5.1. Have I found the miraculous cure for high blood sugar!!! Meal was braising...

Of all the luck in this weather went down with it last week - couldn’t eat then but am more now. A little concerned my bs levels are are raised 1 to 2 points like 6 to 7.2 at bedtime. Is this normal ? I know they are still quite good but don’t want to go wrong way !

Anyone an idea for antacids not loaded with sugar please. I like mucogel but can’t find sugar content
