I walk dogs daily. I'm back to running and weights. I guess I'm just not very patient. Cheers all

I'd say getting used to low carbs tbh. When I've done it in the past (out of control at the moment) I had serious fatigue and brain fog at times and plenty of energy at others. It is a weird one. However perseverance was the key for me and careful monitoring of your sugars. Running lowered my...

Biggest difference will be diet, check out the low carb diet here on diabetes.co.uk. Excercise, walking, running, cycling, whatever you can manage. I am currently off the wagon, but have been successful in the past with obtaining decent control and sugars between 4-7. Currently trying to get...

Sick of type 2

Ok. A recap, Diagnosed I dunno 5 years ago. Got it under control with low carb and excercise When running i'd go a little low at 3mmol eat sweets cos it scared me and come home high like 10 plus For a variety of reasons including sever depression\anxiety borderline psychosis, my Mum passing...

They always tell me not to test and don't want me to have test strips. I'm currently permanently high and out of control. I did manage to get under control with low carb diet and excercise, but for one reason or another have lost control for a few years now. Anyway back to subject, I found...

I don't do low carb high fat. But I do prepare for that distance in a hilly area of Wales with sausage egg and beans or similar. High blood sugars will leave you feeling fatigued and not performing well from my experience. I bring a peanut bar or two with me and blood monitoring kit. I'm lucky...

Took me a month on 2gram a day and no carb. I went extreme. I know eat a more balanced diet and mornings are 6s usually. Sometimes 5s. Perserverence dude. You'll smash this. Swimming cycling running helps. What ever you can manage in that department is awesome [emoji16] Good luck keep going [emoji3]

Yup. My first Christmas diagnosed too. Did the same. 5 bowls of trifle Christmas day. Luckily went back to only 10 on a morning. Got it back under control now 6.2 average morning. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's done. Now bang straight back and all we can do is learn from it. I plan one...

6.2 not bad considering Christmas and New year lost control. 5 bowls of trifle Christmas day for example. Back on it and back in control very quickly. Pleased [emoji18]

When I was diagnosed I went no carb for a month which I found great. Dropped my sugars lovely and then I gently experimented with carbs. I still eat less carbs than I used to and generally less than I used to as I'd binge at night and I don't now. My bloods are always in limit. I personally...

My experience of gp support so far is erm ****. Here have 2g a day of metformin we'll see you in April maybe. I was diagnosed September. I moaned like buggery and got a monitor. Took 2 months of nagging. They were not happy to give one but monitoring is essential I think as I know now what...

6.3 7am. Bowl of cereal before bed late at night. **** cereal. Still not too bad.

I'm prone to depression and anxiety too. I presume anxiety may come into play for you as they often go hand in hand. I reframed my thinking re diabetes when diagnosed. Looked at the positives. I know now. I have the opportunity to control it. Rather than it control me which in turn means I may...

5.3 7am woop woop. Low for me. In fact I usually feel a bit low at this point.

5.9 7am. Food yesterday half slice wholemeal toast brekky. Beans on 2 wholemeal toast for lunch. Toad in whole and veg for tea. A 30 mile cycle in there as well. [emoji16] and its a hilly place Wales [emoji41]

Keep up the fight x

Well. As a update. I went out. Drank 2 pints lager a **** load of spiced rum and diet coke. Ate a lentil Dahl and rice 6pm and a chicken donna wrap at 2am that was minging. Bloods never went over 8 as I checked 3 times and I didn't take my metformin. Bloods 8am 6.7 a little high for me but wow...

6.7 after a lot of rum and diet coke and 2 pints lager last night as well as a lentil Dahl and rice 6pm and chicken done wrap at 2am. That's not a bad result considering. Oh and I dropped off my metformin last night [emoji41]
