Thanks! The key is to change your eating habits once it’s finished as when I did it the first time I lost 25kg in the 3 months but unfortunately my mum passed away not long after finishing it and I went back to all my bad habits to comfort myself and the weight went back on just as fast as I...

Hey, nope I’m not having surgery but they put you on it when you first visit to give you a bit of a head start and to see if you’re committed as spaces at this clinic are very limited, it took me 3 months to finally get in! The diet used to be for 3 months but they’ve changed this to 1 month (I...

It’s a diet that you normally do before having a weight operation, the idea is it shrinks the liver to make it easier for the surgeon to move it out the way to access the stomach rather than having to make a big incision

Hey! I too am currently doing the milk diet via the NHS obesity clinic, in the 3 weeks I’ve been doing it I’ve so far lost 14.2kg. What’s great as well for me is my levels have been perfectly normal without taking my metformin and when I’ve had to eat to settle my stomach my levels have been...

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted on the forum for a while now, even though from time to time I’ve been checking in and reading posts but I wanted to let you know my progress in the year and a bit I’ve been diagnosed. So I was diagnosed with my levels of 88, after changing my diet and reading a lot...

Hey, 2 months ago I too got diagnosed and had the same bad thoughts about dying early and getting complications but through this site and research I’ve learned that there is no reason at all I can’t lead a long normal life, yes you are right, avoiding large spikes in your blood sugar will help...

Just wanted to say thankyou to to the people that run and moderate the forums and all the members, especially the ones who have replied to my questions I’ve had. I got diagnosed last month and have found this site and members a really great help in understanding, coming to terms with and...

Yes on 1000mg twice a day, been testing all day and my levels have all been in normal levels so fingers crossed it was just a strange day!

Yep deffo going to have a look at what I eat for breakfast thankyou. So looking at my readings after I’ve eaten are my BG readings going down at a normal speed?

Well today - 4.9 woke up 8am breakfast - 2 wholemeal toast and marmite 9am BG 8.5 9.45am BG 6 10.30am BG 5.5 1pm BG 4.5 Tin Heinz vegetable soup, 4 x Ryvitas/butter 1.30pm BG 6.2 2.20pm BG 6.3 2.50pm BG 5.7 4.30pm BG 4.6

Yep I’ve started to test every half hour after eating at the moment to see what is happening

No not really, I looked at all the symptoms and it’s hard to say if it’s my anxiety, diabetes or anything else

It was probably an hour & half, I test before and after 3 times a day after breakfast, lunch and dinner and occasionally when I go to bed and I’ve never seen it go below 4.6 if that helps?

I know it’s hard to say but does it sound like I have reactive Hypo as well as I’m very anxious about the last two evenings results!

I’m on 2 x 1000mg metformin, and atorstatin 10mg one a day

Hi guys my original post was in the type 2 forum and one of the members thought I maybe suffering from reactive hyp so I posted in here as well. Breakfast 1 day - sausage roll Breakfast 2 day - 2 slices wholemeal toast with marmite Lunch both - Meal deal sandwich, crisps and drink (chocolate...

Hi everyone, last month I was diagnosed with Type 2 and I posted a thread about a random BG Reading I had and someone suggested I ask here. My H1Ba was 88 when diagnosed, I suffer from a bit of anxiety so the first few weeks I had tension headaches etc but once I brought a glucose tester and...

Hey, no it’s not really happened before, I’ve onky been diagnosed type 2 a month ago and for the last 2 weeks I’ve had my meter my results have been pretty consistent, the two days in question I did eat a lot of carbs and I have been stressed recently. My test in the morning and lunchtime are...

Hi, nope just the last few days, I tested before it went to bed and my BG had gone up to 5.1, woke up this morning and it’s 4.8

Thanks Peter, I do find it very confusing sometimes, I tested myself at 6pm tonight and was around 7, I then ate a meal which had some high carbs in, tested myself at 8pm and my reading was 5.1 so I don’t know what to make of it as it probably should have gone up not down? Does metformin lower...
