It was a very early work out and I had only had water prior to going. Wondering if that’s part of the issue.

Hi, no blood pressure issues that I am aware of but I will check. I’m not on any medication at all. I could be pre/early menopause but that’s just a guess. We all definitely got a fright. Apparently I went very grey. It was either the lying down or tango that stopped the world spinning and I...

Hi, thanks for replying. It was pretty light, I did (in non technical terms) 5 min bike warm up, 5 min fast walk on a slight incline, leg press, leg curls, pull downs, 500 meters on the rower and then some arm work outs with 2lb dumbbells. The weights were all 15 x 3 reps.

Hi all. I’m T2 and on no medication. I swim, walk and cycle regularly and am average fitness and generally follow a low carb/sugar diet . I had a gym induction this morning (7am) and had a funny turn when I felt extremely hot, sweaty and dizzy. I was using weights and did some light cardio -...

I stopped with my DN knowledge and support. I wouldn’t take it without discussing it with her and I ideally want to manage without it.

4.9 isn’t the norm. I am usually between 5.4 and 7. Your roast beef and yorkies sound yum [emoji39]

Thank you. I am a woman of a certain age so I am wondering if that is having an impact. I will take another look at the website, I think I need an overall refresh.

Thank you so much. I had a hot cross bun today and protein bar and my bloods 2 hours later were 4.9. It messes with my head!

Thank you. I think total carbs is worth a try.

Not heard of choczero - what is it ? :)

I think I just wanted to broaden my choices so maybe some lentils or beans for different salads, maybe the odd banana or sweet potato or butternut squash. I feel in a frustrating food rut but am worried about doing myself more damage and not noticing. I also feel unsupported if I am honest and...

Hi, I don’t eat any potatoes, rice, pasta, lentils, beans, biscuits, cake, sweets etc. I tend to eat leafy greens, eggs, meat, fish. No fruit other than berries, have limited dairy recently too. I really am pretty strict. The biscuit was an example of what the diabetes team told the group on the...

Thank you. Your reply is helpful. Interesting that you fluctuate between 40 and 45. I’ll check what bloods they did as I have online access to my medical records and results. I saw another post but it’s been deleted I think but I think it made a fair point. I probably am being unnecessarily...

T2 no meds, recent Hba1c 40, 2 years diagnosed. One year off metformin. I am really struggling with diabetes management and just how overwhelming it feels all the time. I know my levels are safe at 40 but they have gone up from 38 a year ago and it feels like a failure. I am so strict, I limit...

I’m such a numpty!!

I’ve ordered my usuals now :)

this is my machine and the strips I have switched too. I thought because they are code free they would be ok.

Has anyone experienced a change in readings when changing test strips? I’ve bought a different brand and my levels are really low - 3.5 - 4.6.

I’m T2 500mg Merformin daily. Last HBa1C in October was 37. I am generally well but have the usual winter cold/sore throat. What are people taking to soothe these symptoms whilst avoiding sugary lozenges and syrupy cough mixtures? I’m taking paracetamol for the aches and headache.

Fantastic result. Well done on your hard work - I know it’s not easy to get those results.
