I could not find via the forum search function any reference to this study and potential new treatment for both prevention (at PD) and reversal of T2. So apologies if this has been covered before. But it looks quite promising- probably a long time though till human medication developed...

Hi everyone I have been doing some reading again recently because my testing results were going a bit wonky. In the end- as things settled down again- I decided it was because the teaching year started again and my body needed to get used to that- after the summer hiatus- and stop being...

In a few months time I am going away for 3 weeks and I'll be doing a lot of walking. This will be primarily urban though some rural as well. I saw a podiatrist a few weeks ago and told her about my 3 weeks of numb toes after walking 3-4 hours a day whilst in Beijing for 10 days. She said that...

Hi everyone I am interested in the varied practice out there for what each of our individual HBA1c target ranges are- and any explanations/ reasons for setting the target in a certain way. A couple of weeks ago my latest A1c was 6.4/ 46 so my GP immediately halved my metformin from 2000 per...

I was diagnosed formally on May 2nd having diagnosed myself in mid March with internet research, clinistix urine glucose testing and Boots one off Blood Glucose test kit. In late February/ early March I'd suddenly had a MASSIVE thirst (4-5 litres of water per day and an almost comedic amount of...

Hi all I had my last foot exam in late May. In late June I went to China for 2 weeks and for the second (touristy) week I was walking 3-5 hours a day. After a couple of days of this I noticed that the underside/ outer part of both my big toes had become what I can only describe as numb'ish- so...

My FG reading was 7.2 having been 7.4 at the weekend. I am finding this weird as for 2 months I have seen my twice weekly FG readings at sub 6.0. I am wondering whether this was because I had late nights and early 'ish mornings both times in combination with late night eating = so less than 7...

Hi T2D diagnosis end of April and trying to get my initial 13.5 A1C test down: next test due in early August. Since then I have been targeting a low-medium carb intake dietary approach of less than or equal to 150g carb per day. However- despite doing this for 2 months now- it suddenly...

...can anyone advise me on how to keep to modified low-medium carb diet i.e. has anyone here been to China for a week or two and kept their BG managed even though the Chinese diet is significantly based on the staples of noodles and rice = both of which I gave up last month ! Any tips greatly...

...how dangerous? Come across postings on various diabetic forums alluding to 'falling off the wagon' whether being high sugar (booze binge) or high carb (fast food or restaurant hi carb binge). I am wondering what people think/ what their experiences might have been of say 1 day a month...

Hi Today is 5 days since started metformin and max of 200g a day whole food based carbs diet and exercise (mixture of stationary bike and weights). Been using the iBGstar to monitor BG and clinistix to monitor UG. Up early as have to go to Manchester today. I have not eaten since 19:00...

Hi diagnosed last week with HbA1C of 13.5: only presented at GP with serious symptoms in early may (thirst; urination; weight loss; fatigue) as they came on quite suddenly to a clearly perceptible extent- and I researched online. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroid in 2004 (Endo said had...
