Has anyone had experience of having cataract surgery while their BG is all over the place. I’m in hospital today for a measure up for my right eye. Having got my Hba1c down to 51 at the end of October my BG levels have been all over the shop for the last month. My libre says my average is 8.6...

I’ve avoided Bananas like the plague since DX in June, I tried ripe ones back then and they really spiked my BG. Today i tested at 9am and got a reading of 9.6, I’m always high in the morning. After egg n bacon at 9, at 10.15 I ate a yellow, nearly ripe (tasty and sweet but firm) Banana. It was...

Yesterday I had a low carb (probs 20g) day with 3 glasses of wine in the evening. This seemed to keep my BG down through the night and at 6am I was on 7.3 my lowest for weeks, a low of carb breakfast (2 strawbs with cream and 2eggs scrambled) didn’t stop my liver dump pushing me up to 11 by 7.30...

So, I’ve got more results. These all look fairly normal (I think?) so does that mean I’m T2? Despite doing weeks at a time below 40g carbs/day I’m averaging at best 7.5 BG with peaks of 13 and lows of 6 on 2g Metformin per day. MySugr reclones my Hba1c is 6.7. So what other drugs might I be...

My DN reckons I’m T2, my GP reckons I’m T1, they’ve suspected this since June. My appointment with an Endocrinologist isn’t until November. So I splashed out £240 on a consultation with a diabetes specialist on Friday 14th. He has me in tomorrow for a blood test, so hopefully I might find out...

Here are my latest blood test results. I would be intrigued to see other people’s results and get any feedback on these. The one figure I do get is the Hba1c of 67 which is down from 126 at the end of June. I mention it again and thank you guys on the forum for the encouragement that made it...

Advised to eat carbs

This pic shows my blood sugar figures today. After 8.2 after waking up my figures have been good for me at 6s and 7s but I thought I’d see what fruit did. Yep, a big old spike to 11.5. But a 26 minute half jog half walk for 2 miles dropped it straight back to 6.8. So no fruit for me :-( and...

After a weekend of 6s and 7s during the day and evening, after wake up highs of 8s and 9s, with no real change in diet (meat,fish,eggs,cheese and cream) my BG levels have shot up. After a wake up FBG of 10.2 on Monday then after egg and bacon and some double cream I walked a mile and two hours...

Hi, I was diagnosed with T2 five years ago and despite popping into the doctors for an itchy mole and food sticking in my throat they didn’t tell me. With weight loss, neuropathy, drinking loads of water it seemed obvious something was wrong. I booked a check up and a doctor phoned me and said...
