    Type 2: Habc1 Results

    Hello lovely people I would like to post my own now I can finally get on the page ( had lots of logging on probs lately). In Feb on diagnosis my hba1c was 78 and I was instantly put on sitagliptin, with no discussion about diet- just don’t eat so many sweets. My latest hba1c was 40 and I have...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Well well well, what a difference a day makes.... yesterday scorchio- today wild squally winds, driving rain and dramatically grey sky from our sea view room on Brighton sea front - the dramatic weather matches my dramatic bg 6.8 due to stopping all bp meds, and feeling very bloated, and a few...

    Ianp, that’s an exciting result after stopping metformin but u seem underwhelmed? Well I also had a 5.1 this morning and I’m quite pleased with that considering the awful lack of sleep and I walked a lot yesterday, 17,500 steps. Have a great day everyone xx

    Do You Weigh Yourself Everyday Or Weekly?

    Ian, don’t know when you dropped metformin but as that is such a little tiny bit over ur threshold and u may be ailing and ur sleep is poor- then perhaps u just need more time to adjust without the met?

    Good morning lovelies- I have been very lax with the “reporting” side due to plateauing weight loss and becoming a bit demoralised- but still eating lchf and only a slight on and off reduction in walking. But I believe the reporting keeps you focused so I must get back to it. Besides, I missed...
