Oh I see, I will look into this as it’s something I’d like to have tested

Definitely go to your doctor, so you can get your hba1c done and take it from there x

I haven’t asked to have it done at doctors, I was curious as someone I’ve met at work has type 2 and reversed her diabetes 2 years ago and had a OGTT done (not sure at home or docs), and her highest number at one hr was 8 and back to normal by 1 hr 30 mins...so I was interested to test when...

Can you do a oral glucose tolerance test at home? If so what is it you buy to do it and how much?

Hi, I do have a higher carb diet compared to most on here....I’m 23 and was diagnosed in March...for the last 5 weeks my blood sugar has been in normal range, ususally between 4 and 5.5 mmol fasting, and never usually go over a 7.1 after eating. I probably eat between 130-180 grams of carbs per...

So it’s doesnt mean my pancreas will wear out? So long as I keep a healthy diet l, exercise, and get down to a healthy weight? I keep going through stages where I feel positive but then I get anxiety and fear in 10-20 years time I’m going to have to go on medication or insulin which is...

Hi I havnt gone low carb...I do follow slimming world and I’m losing weight at a good rate each week.....I test my blood sugars regularly, in the morning I’m between a 4 and 5.4 mmol. I do watch the carbs but I probably eat Moderate amounts rather than low or high

with me being recently diagnosed with t2, I’ve been doing so much research. Sometimes when I’m looking at articles and forums I can get negative thoughts it my head, last night was one of them! Now I can’t remember the website I was on, I think it was like a forum but can’t find it....it was...

I would suggest go to your doctor and have another blood test, and if your a1c is normal hopefully your doctor can help diagnose what’s wrong.

Thankyou :)

I had salmon, stir fry vegetables and dried egg noodles, most would say it’s a heavy carb meal, but for some reason my blood sugars haven’t gone out of range in the past 3 weeks

Thankyou, it’s hard isn’t it, I hope you get to see the numberyou want it’s just takes time. I was diagnosed around the middle of March since then just tried my best with my diet as well as exercise. For just under 3 weeks I’ve had 4-5 readings in the morning which I’m so happy about

So before my dinner last night my blood sugar was 4.8 1 hr after my dinner I was a 5.5 Then 2 hours after it was a 6 So o checked half an hour after and I was a 5 Is this ok and normal?....I know the numbers are normal but is it normal for food to have a little rise after the 1st hour

That’s great! Well done, you must be happy with that

I agree, what is your a1c now?

I only drink diet fizzy drinks....bearing in mind of a hba1c checks you blood from the last 2/3 months it would of been Christmas and new year so that wouldn’t of helped either!, I’ve not felt like I needed to increase my portion sizes bigger as I feel full and satisfied after my meals

No my hba1c was 8.4 then 7.7, when I phoned the doctors and asked that’s what they said....there’s an old and new system isn’t there?

Much earlier in my diagnosis I would say I had a greater amount of insulin resistance, but every week my levels keep coming down....now if I ate a load of garlic bread with a load of pasta I know my blood sugar will go higher than a 7 for sure....but I’ve eaten everything in moderation. For...

I havnt yet cut out all carbs and sugar out of my diet, but I’m losing weigh at a good pace each week, I am more aware of portion sizes but I literally haven’t cut any food groups out

It was a 8.4 then two weeks later was a 7.7...which I know are diabetic levels....but with the past 6 months I’ve had to deal with a lot of stress due to anxiety and family problems which didn’t help my blood sugar levels at all.....but I’ve been in such a better mindframe and losing weight my...
