I know I need to get back on track but it’s so hard. I spend months away working on vessels so when I’m home I seem to go mad and eat all the wrong food at the wrong time. No drink issue just high sugar and carbs [emoji109][emoji109]

Low Carb and regular exercise is the way to go. I went off the track for a few months and sugars were uncontrollable. I take three metformin a day and sugars were anything from 12 to 17 daily. After 10 days reducing carbs to 15% and walking for 10mins every hour. Finishing with 30mins after tea...

Hi all, I was doing well with control but lately struggling to keep morning readings below 12/15. This has been like this since I stopped training due to back problems. Is there any long term problems with these readings? I checked last night out of bed 10pm and they were 17. I’m due to have op...

Due to my pain in my spine and legs I haven’t trained for over six weeks. I’ve recently been completely off the tracks eating everything/stopped training and it’s a very slippery slope. Sugars rising and I was doing so well. I got my HBA1C down to 51 from 79 and now I feel I’ve really let myself...

Well on the way to beat it!

Since January I have returned to training approx 1/2 hour cardio on a static bike and other 1/2 hour weights and stretches. Along with this I lowered carbs and increased proteins and good fats. At the start I was taking 3 Metformin and 1 Glicicde. I stopped the glicicide first then swapped the...

Seems I've managed to control my bloods at last! Question but what is a safe reading at bedtime and if low what can I have to raise to required reading?

On low carbs and a bread addict, I have always eaten brown bread with Jan and peanut butter but realise this needs to change. Options anyone for quick breakfast options low carbs? What about a Protien drink with milk? Eggs? Peanut butter? Any ideas are appreciated! Mick

Lately been cutting down on carbs and my Metformin form 3 daily to 2 daily. Also no more glicicide. It's took a week to iron out my sugars but think I've found the future. I have stopped my teatime Metformin with glicicide to instead doing 15 mins of sprints on an exercise nike. This upon check...

What are the best low sugar fruits whilst on a low carb diet?

Have decided to cut carbs and sugar from my diet and stop with the three Metformin and one glicicide as things weren't improving. My first night my sugars are 6 before bed is this safe for T2 or do they need to be higher? Is it safe to just stop medication?

My HBA1C is 8.5 how bad is this reading and how can I reduce it keeping my energy levels high. I work long hours in Saudi and preparing foods is sometimes hard and I seem to go for quick fixes like Alpen bars, peanut butter and jam sandwichs at night biscuits with my cuppa! I have other health...

I have been T2 for a number of years and always had problems keeping sugars down. I have always been a fussy eater and now I find almost everything I like is bad for me. I work 14 hours daily walking 10miles daily and very active climbing structures. My calorie count is very low compared to my...
