I've been fine all year since diagnosis, however for a few days last week and this, I have basically been very naughty. Just eating a few biscuits/cakes/mince pies at work here and there and now I feel awful. I am peeing more often and my groin aches, these are exactly the symptoms I had just...

Just had my second HbA1c test since diagnosis. It's gone up to.... 39 from 38! It was 73 on diagnosis. However this could be down to the following: - A few beers during the world cup. - A few ice creams and french baguettes on holiday in France. - I was on antibiotics for a week last month...

I've been on Metaformin (2 x 1000mg daily) for over a week now and my glucose levels almost look like a non diabetics? Is this normal? I have gone on a low carb diet, but have had the odd beer, and a roast potato on occasion! The small piece of birthday cake is the only sweet thing I have had...
