Ok so I got back my latest bloods and it shows a ha1c of 40mmol/mol which the nurse says is even lower than prediabetes so she says I'm in remission and to stop taking my gliclacide. Thing is, although I have lost weight I haven't changed my diet all that much. I don't even know how I managed...

Thank you Tricia I do want to improve my diet when my mood improves a bit but I am terrified to God from getting cardiovascular disease from high cholesterol. Would I like to eat loads of meat instead? You betcha! I love eating meat. I love bacon and sausages and smoked salmon and beef steaks...

Great, but I still haven't got an answer to my questions. I've got people telling me current medicine is a sham and cholesterol doesn't cause cardiovascular disease. I've got people telling me to go low carb and maybe it's something I can do eventually, ... but I've got nobody that has given...

I'm confused why you think I don't need diabetes medicine. My current diet and gliclacide and metformin regime is what produced the low hbac1 reading.

Yes, I want to decrease my exposure to metformin, which is why I asked about alternatives. I'm not looking to change my diet at the moment. I'm in the middle of a depression and restricting the things I can eat is not going to improve that. I have come a long way already, my previous h1bac...

Why would I stop worrying about cholesterol? My cholesterol was so high I had to take statins but since I started eating oatmeal on doctors advise all of my readings were low and my statins got stopped. High cholesterol is a valid worry for people with diabetes, as being obese and having high...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oatmeal#Health_benefits My h1bac is quite good actually lower than 40 last reading and I feel generally good apart from the stomach cramps

I eat my daily oatmeal breastfast as I love the cholesterol absorbing effect it brings. For lunch I only eat homemade soup and watermelon. The soup is made of carrots, peas, lentils, cabbage, onion, garlic and pork bellies. it also has a potato for thickening, but that's one small potato for 2...

Hi girls and boys, as explained in the title, I am still having daily stomach cramps. These usually come in the late afternoon. I am told to take my slow release sukarto metformin tablets mornings and evenings. The cramps start fairly mild, go much much more painful progressively then taper off...

Owanges bad? Diabetic nutritionist I sar said they were fine. Orange is almost the only fruit I eat

This morning my fasting glucose reading was 7.4 mmol/L My meals yesterday: * breastfast 2 medium light boiled eggs, 2 small slices of Hovis Seed Sensations toasted with Clover spread and 1 mug of banana milk * lunch 3 white rolls with scotisch smoked salmon and butter. 150g fish total. 400g...

Thanks Helen I think I got something else then as my hands are consistently cold in the morning upon waking. My fingers aren't numb then but they are very painful when bending, things fweep out of my fingers often and like you getting blood out of them is very hard even when using my biggest...

Yeah I'm medications-r-us it seems. Every day 6 tablets in the morning and some at lunch and evening. I don't remember any of them saying anything about cold painful hands though I suppose it's worth rereading the PILs thanks

Anyone also have ice cold hands in the morning what are extremely painful to bend? Is it to do with diabetes? My doctor just brushes over the subject every time I bring it up. I'm an IT worker and life is hard in the mornings with these hands Poor old me [emoji25] [emoji33]

I like meatloaf but that's full of carbs innit so you're probably saying bad :( My spag bol aint' bad. And I can roast and fry things like there's no tomorrow What I really like is ossobuco and also petit salé with lentils but I don't think I'm quite ready to make those kind of dishes Anything...

I don't know bud. I was feeling weird, drinking one cola after another (coke zero) and thinking extreme thirst is a sign of a hyper innit, but then I chacked and it was 6.5! Go firuge!

been taking meds 4 days now. I saw an immediate drop in blood sugar which leveled off the following days, but now all of a sudden I had 6.5 that's what I thought weird

Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that I did a retest with a different monitor which showed 6.8. And yes HSSS, baby steps!

Why is my blood glucose suddenly 6.5 in the afternoon whereas normally it be 12 to 15? I've eaten the same and same portions as usually, I've not done any hexercsise and I have not taken extra medicien Colour me baffled

No I'm socially isolated. Parents live 800+ miles away. I'm all by myself... all alone. I live alone, I work from home, alone, I study from home alone... My only company are my two cats Vanille, and Saffron
