Hello John. As others have said - don't panic! I was diagnosed T2 exactly 3 years ago and my local surgery gave me GlucoRx Nexus blood glucose testing kit and a few test strips. At the time my HbA1c was 94 and my blood glucose level 23.5!!. I asked if that was bad - not knowing anything about...

A good article to start with is here on diabetes.co.uk https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-medication/diabetes-and-statins.html

Looks like you are doing OK on HB1AC and weight. No worries there. Christmas was clearly fun :-) The cholestrol thing is interesting and if not already pointed out you have to consider the NICE guidelines given to medical staff: above a certain level of cholesterol they must recommend the...

Can you check your reading? The product info on the Tee 2 meter says it has a range of 1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L so a reading of 74 should not be possible.

Keep up the good work. Remind yourself occasionally that the downside is so awful it should be avoided. Who wants to lose a limb or eyesight? And the upside: cut out the carbs (or most importantly cut any combo of fat and carbs ) and you will find a diet that works, makes you less tired, less...

Here are the two types of brekfast I do most : a) Skyr (Icelandic yog - hi protein, 0 carb) 5 or 6 blueberries, half a grapefruit, a glass of Tesco redcurrent & raspberry juice (0 carb) b) Egg, bacon, sausage, washed down with Tesco redcurrent & raspberry juice (0 carb) Both fuel me up all...

Hi @jenner68 If I may add to what has already been said, coming from my own experience of diet controlled T2. Breakfast: I found that both porridge and bananas resulted in high blood sugar readings. They are no longer in my diet. I now alternate between something like this: -skyr (or greek...

Not depressed either. There is a whole world on unprocessed or lightly processed food that are not high in carbs we can enjoy. Become aware and not only will you reduce your carbs but get a better diet to boot :-) And add to the list above alcohol : most wines and spirits are low in carbs and...
