I will defo have a look on the forum for diet ideas, that’s where I have been struggling.

I didn’t realise the blood sugar levels rose when you were exercising, I thought they went down as they are always lower when I check my levels when I get back from the gym, that’s why I’m confused and think I’m doing it all so wrong.

Thank you for clearing this up for me, I didn’t even think about how the meter would be set up for people that are T1! Yeah I remember my nurse saying I can’t drive if I’m under 5, but I’m not on meds anymore so I’m assuming this is still the case?

Thanks, I’m just confused about the whole thing, I thought I was doing it right and this just seems like something I have been doing wrong the whole time.

Thanks, I just don’t think I have been doing it right and following the way I should have, I have just thought and assumed that you would have a hypo, medication or not if you went below 5 as my testing kit always flashed hypo when I was below 5, I guess I just need to re-educate myself on this.

So have I been doing it wrong this whole time? I’m not on medication so I can’t take hypos even if my BG levels go below 4 when I check it on my testing kit? Sorry I’m not being ignorant I just am so confused?!

I’m not on any medication anymore. I was on gliclazide for about 6 months but my blood levels are now at prediabetic level so I only need to control my diabetes with diet and exercise, I was advised that when I go to the gym mostly cardio classes that I have to make sure it’s at least 7 as when...

I’ve been told that my BG need to be high so that I don’t have a hypo during the gym?

hi all, Just to see if anyone else has been given the go ahead by their medical team to try the counterweight diet, this is something that is happening through my doctors and has said it has the potential to put my T2 in remission, but I am slightly concerned As it will mean shakes and soups...

Hiya, No not having any symptoms I’m just constantly worried that I’m going to end up having a heart attack ir that something is wrong with my heart. I have a GP appointment in a few weeks but in general it scares me.

hey, I have no idea if anyone else has fears of developing heart disease or any other disease this condition brings, for me, I sometimes lay away at night and think I’m going to have a heart attack in the middle of the night or if I have a sore left upper arm I think this is it it’s happening...

When I was weighed in January I lost 9lbs but since I have been weighed again in feb and then again today two weeks after coming off the meds. It has shot back up again to where it was at the start, just feel so disheartened when I am trying to hard. Yeah my readings without the meds have been...

It’s plain full fat Greek yogurt, fruits is usually either strawberries or raspberries, I don’t use any salad dressings unless it’s a tablespoon of full fat mayo. I have whole meal bread when I have toast as my nurse told me to eat that instead of white bread as that will give me some energy...

I was on 40g of gliclazide, up until last week, then I was taken off it. My diet has been the same since I found out in December, in a day I will have Greek yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, tuna or chicken salad for lunch, when I get home from work I usually have some toast and then dinner will...

I was diagnoaed with T2 in December and when I started my medication, the first four weeks I lost 9lbs which I was really Happy with. I have since been back to the docs and I seem to have put back on what I have lost. I’ve been taken off medication and now I’ve been told the now my T2 will be...

The nurse said she would revisit the dosage if I kept going low but she said 4.9 was low and would send me into a hypo?

The nurse has told me that I only need to test the now three times a day. Once in the morning when I get up before breakfast and then before dinner and before bed. Normally they are sitting at around 7 when I wake up and then around 6 when I get home after dinner and then around 6/7 when I’m...

That’s the second time I have been as low as 4.7 but the last time I didn’t feel any different, this time I was shaking so I’m unsure myself why this was different

Thank you, that’s very helpful. as I said, I didn’t know how for sure to get my bg up so I just had some chocolate but I have found that’s not the best thing I should have had? I don’t know if the shaking was just because I was scared as I didn’t know what happening and I knew I didn’t feel...

Thanks that’s really helpful!
