Shelley 262. So sorry, only just seen your comment. I owe the turnaround to this forum, the advic here, went against my GPS advice, to go home and base my meals around “good carbohydrates “. Thankfully I joined this forum and everything I read here, made complete sense to me. I’m in Evesham...

Hi I was diagnosed on the 18 January this year. I had a HbA1C of 103. I joined this forum and read that LCHF could help to put diabetes into remission. I immediately went LCHF, alongside intermittent fasting (16:8). In April my HbA1C was 51 and I’d lost around 4 stone. This week, my latest...

Thanks guys! The video is really interesting and yes, I’ve lost almost seven stone, so sounds like this is the reason. Thank you x

I got last weeks blood results today. Mixed news. On diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes in January, my HbA1C was 103 and cholesterol 5.8. Three months later, after following intermittent fasting and LCHF, HbA1C was 51 and cholesterol 5.9. Today another three months on and six months since diagnosis...

Well absolutely loving this LCHF lifestyle. Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes on 18 January this year and immediately changed to LCHF alongside intermittent fasting 16:8. It’s amazing, since then, I’ve lost 6 stone and although I’ve got about three more stone to go, I KNOW I can do it. HbA1C down...

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if Type 2's are supposed to be referred to a podiatrist? When I saw the nurse a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I'd been having trouble with an I growing toe nail, she gave it a quick glance and said I wasn't entitled to a referral. In hindsight I believe there's...

Hi x Yes from 10pm the evening before, so for 12 hours before.

Finally got the breakdown of cholesterol levels. I was diagnosed as type 2 on January 18th with cholesterol level of 5.8 and HbA1C of 103. My HbA1C is now 51 and cholesterol 5.9. Nurse is pleased with everything so far, but thinks that 51 shows good control Here's a breakdown of latest...

Hi x I started the low carb diet on 18th January the day my first HbA1C result are back and hadvmy review HbA1C on 19 April. So three months exactly x

Thank you everyone for your positivity. I hadn't really known what to expect, but if I'm honest, I was kind of hoping to have them down at least under 48. My aim is to get it into remission and though I half expected it not to be where I wanted it yet, I was kind of hoping it would be. I've list...

On January 12 I had an HbA1C test, that came back at 103. On 19 April, I had my three month review and HbA1C came back at 51. Feeling disappointed, as I've been following an extremely low carb diet. Could this be that some old red blood cells are still in circulation from Pre Jan 12th and...

Sorry I'm back again When it arrives, what is the best times to test? xx

Thank you everyone. I'm happy with my purchase and I'm expecting it to arrive any day. I'm sure it's going to take some getting used to though. I appreciate your input xx

Seems like glucose monitors are a complete minefield. Just feeling more confused than ever now.

Hi , just ordered this SD Codefree blood glucose meter starter pack, with spare lancets and test strips. Can anyone tell me if this is a good starter blood glucose meter, for a novice? Thanks in advance ❤️

Thankyou I just checked again an hour and a half after a small salad, walnuts and an orange and it was 6.3 finding it confusing understanding the numbers to be honest xxx

Ps I should add I'm on 500mg Metformin twice daily

Hi I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on January 18 th this year. My HbA1C level was 103. As a type 2 I was told not to use a meter to test my own levels. I've been thinking of getting one myself, to test out which foods spike my blood glucose levels. At the minute I'm in a strict low carb...

Thanks everyone. I have to agree, that I was sent home with no dietary advice, apart from eating a healthy diet and that I wasnt to consider any food, a bad food. On testing my BP the doctor said, "Oh its sky high, well let's leave it to the diabetic nurse to do it". My appointment with her is...
