Thank you I swim for a hour and I’m usually around 4.3 after but now I’m high 5s I also lift weights and cross trainers and these are also having no effect.

Can you recommend any time frame or anything it’s something I have glanced over but not been sure about.

Thank you, I have been working my arms a lot so I will switch it up and involve legs to.

hello Just having a moan really I was doing really well on 1000mg metformin a day and my blood sugars were 5.5 in a morning and 4.4 pre meal and 5.2 post meal, I was doing low carb and had a few treats like some strawberries and cream every now and then. My ac1 at diagnosis was 64 and a few...

Thank you, I’m going to ask about a repeat test when I see my gp.

I went to see my dr because there is rumatoid arthritis in my family and I’m suffering with stiff joints and pain in them but they did a ra factor blood test and it came back normal. Iv been ok health wise to.

hi I have had a recent blood test my Ac1 and other bits and my crp came back at 5.7. This was flagged on the system as to high but my gp has not arranged to see me, well I booked in for Monday but I’m worrying I read online it’s a indication of heart disease. Has anyone had experience with a...

Hi, can I ask what shakes you are taking and the carb content? I am seriously considering jacking in my 1000mg of metformin a day and really giving this a go. I am so desperate to put this into remission and keep it that way and the weight off and iv lost 2 1/2 stone eating lchf but think it’s...

I do follow a lchf style diet, today iv had a protein pancake this was made with protein powder and egg and blueberries, for dinner I had a tin of tuna with mayonnaise and mackerel for tea i have had meatballs ( home Meade, mince, egg ) stuffed with cheese in a home made tomato sauce ( pepper...

hi there Can anyone shed some light on this please, I seem to be hungry all the time, like starving hungry even a hour after a meal and it’s mainly for bad food ( sweets ) but I would probably eat anything ( I don’t eat anything) I am eating between 30-80g of carbs a day and take 1000mg of...

Thank you Shelly, you really are a inspiration and I would love to get to the point you have achieved, I will keep up with the headspace and lchf, I care for my son to and with a job and doing my degree on top and then the diabetes I think my mind just had a breakdown, but I’m getting there.

Wow you are all doing so well however it is referred to, i am in low carb and have lost two stone quite easily, I had my a1c done and it was 64 (diagnosed diabetic) then 6 weeks of low carb fetched my a1c down to 48 and the 1000mg metformin, but I really hope I can achieve similar numbers to...

That’s good rachox, I hope it works still for you lowering the metformin, I will hopefully try lowering mine in 6 months. It is really confusing the terms used for diabetics, I think they should agree on one. My dr said I could cure myself, a different doctor said it would be classed as diet...

Thank you that makes perfect sense, I think from what I can gather aren’t most people classed as in remission as if they are genetically programmed to develop diabetes then weight gain would trigger it even though they have never been diabetic before? Or as a diabetic would it come on a lot...

Thank you Britishpub, in total honesty I don’t think I would ever want to go back to eating how I did in the past 3 months iv lost 2 stone and my knees feel better, my clothes look better and I’m not out of breath all the time I feel so much better and looking into carbs has really opened my...

Thank you for the information, I already follow a lower carb diet at 30-80g a day so could definitely go lower on that, you sound like your doing really well dexterdobe, I started exorcise yesterday and I’m hoping it helps and also will pick my mood up. I know it’s not always possible to get...

Thank you that is a lot more clear, is there a good way to loose the organ fat that you would suggest, I have heard a lot about Keto but also the Newcastle diet.

hi Could people please share the stories of how they achieved remission and what it means for them, I’m 3 months into my diagnosis and have dropped my ac1 from 64 to 48 but I still take 1000mg of metformin a day, my bs 2 hours after meals is always between 5 and 6.5 but my morning bs is always...
