Thank you all for your comments, I don’t get emails when someone replies, so I’m not ignoring you, when I get home from work I will get a chance to read through. I am finding hard to know what to eat, I have a flare up due to diverticulitis right now, I’ve been put back on 2 x antibiotics. They...

Senna makes it worse for me, I get severe cramping and makes me gassy.. also I find buscipan makes it worse.

I find breads like granary and seeds, nuts make it worse as well.. I’m trying to research as much as I can and see what foods I can tolerate.. as well as keeping sugar low, might be best to keep a diary. If I can get a appointment with doctors as I will need antibiotics, each time I get through...

Thank you so much, that has put my mind at ease.. I’m looking around for low carb but don’t want foods that require a lot of prep and need a low budget end.. I do have a busy life style working full time and family.. so time is of the essence. At the moment I’m just thinking meat and veg...

Hi I’m so confused what to eat, I’d like to do low carb but I’ve had lots of bloods taken, one showing high serum ferritin, I’ve been asked to avoid any foods with high iron.. what am I left to eat if I take on the low carb diet to control my sugar levels. I feel like I should give up eating.

I do have lots of symptoms, that’s why I went to doctors.. been feeling awful with all typical symptoms.

Wasn’t sure how to edited, those bloods I did were fasting bloods. My symptoms have been going on for long time now.. I’m worrying because I have 3 blackout spells. What treatment will I get? I have diverticulitis, and I have heard metaformin can cause bad stomach, Which I could really do...

Thanks you for replying Not sure where to start on low carb diet, I worry what to eat because I have diverticulitis disease. Wondering if a low carb will be okay and won’t set off when I have attacks. I truly struggle with what foods to eat.. and time I have as working full time.

Yes it has been a massive shock! I’m still trying to get my head around it, I still think I need a lot of time to think about my life style, I’ve been so naive and ignorant since my daughters pregnancy and gd.. I thought.. I’d never get t2 or even be anywhere near pre diabetic, it’s time to...

Hi Yes I had a good read, since the birth of my daughter after gd I have had quite a few tests, even though they have said they were fine, I’ve never known the ranges, my daughter is almost 6. I rang for this recent result the receptionist said, my results were normal, it wasn’t till I made an...

Is the hbac1 certain that I am pre-diabetic ? Would a fasting test give a different result?

Thank you I will certainly be looking around the site for more info and asking plenty of questions. @Resurgam so you was actually diagnosed with t2? You have done well to get those numbers down! Im worried about how easy this will be, im on a very low budget, i just don’t know what to eat
