I find that although this forum is designed to help people with advice, my experience has been a poor one to be honest some people have tried to help but the majority just seem to be negative in response and very angry although I take everyone’s reaction to food is different my hba1c clearly...

4.4 this morning

Just to give an update my latest HBA1C test came back with a score of 33

Just had my 3 month HBA1C test and got a result of 33 well pleased that all the hard work has paid off !!!

And you don’t think the increase in diabetes has anything to do with the fast food/sugary snack world and sedentary lifestyle we live in now and people’s unrealistic health optimism. At the end of the day the Health care teams can only provide advice and guidance they cannot force you to make...

Not that I’m questioning the information you mention, but this is one of the points I mentioned in my original post there is so much conflicting information out there how do you know what is the fact or opinion, just been doing a quick google search and many sites and articles recommend to eat...

Rightly or wrongly I was under the impression natural sugars were ok in moderation and the diabetic nurse was happy when I told her what my diet was. My diet has significantly changed I previously ate many processed foods lots of carbohydrates white bread pasta and chips and had quite the sweet...

Hi Katie, thanks for the information, I have been intrigued with the idea of swapping to a constant blood sugar monitor to give me a better insight of what goes on throughout the day not just the few times a day I test, one concern I do have it’s my understanding with the constant monitor you...

No I haven't to be honest, I keep meaning to but have also put it off as my numbers have been in a good range when testing so rightly or wrongly have been assuming the food I am eating is ok

Yes I am quite surprised how quickly I have adapted to reduced carbs, I thought initially the energy would run out and I would be tired all the time but it has been quite the opposite to be honest. Yes you have to be conscious as there is so many unsuspecting foods that previously I would have...

No unfortunately I only have a monitor with testing strips so generally tends to be at intervals rather than a more frequent check. No, not at all I would rather have all the information to make an informed decision rather than following a path that might not be the right one. I haven't...

Thanks, I generally always try and check 2 hours after eating, Yes I have heard to be careful of banana's, I must just be lucky as my body seems to cope pretty well with them Thank you

Hi Janney, Thank you and likewise well done on your progress, keep positive and keep up the good work you have already been doing and I am sure your numbers will reflect the work you put in at your next test. Yes I do know what you mean it would be nice if a cure existed, although knowing what...

Just been and checked my bg meter and my highest reading this month was 5.4

Thanks that is reassuring to know that other people have similar readings and it is perfectly normal, I was just curious to get other peoples opinions as I have had mixed feedback from people I have spoken too. Yes that is what I have been trying to do is monitor it closely see what has an...

Thanks for the advice, from my new method of testing 2 hours after food I found it was the carbohydrates that was causing the blood sugar to rise so much, since drastically reducing the amount of carbohydrates I eat I have noticed a constant drop in my readings throughout the day and expect my...

Thanks thats the approach I am taking the lower the better, it is hard work to be organised with meals and exercise but will be worth it in the long run. A typical day consists off Brekfast 5AM Raw Oats Banna frozen fruit, chia seeds and coconut milk mixed up and left over night Morning...

Thanks for the feedback, yes the HBA1C of 46 wasn't my greatest 3 month's from an eating perspective so I expected it to be slightly higher my diet has been much better and consistent from then, Yes I normally try and eat a meal and test 2 hours after to see what impact the food has, it is...

Thanks for the reply, I generally try and do weights in a morning walk on a lunch and swim after work so generally try and keep it low impact as I can, I am 6 foot 5 so have previously found it difficult for higher impact exercises such as running and cycling. I do test pretty frequently as I...

Hi my name is Matt, I have read various posts from this forum but this is my first post. I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic about 6 months ago now. My first HBA1C test was 94 following the doctors advice and various reading after I understand this to be considerably high and was advised to...
