Hi, I have just had libre 2 for past 2 weeks. Best thing I ever did. I am type 2 and have struggled to keep on track. I decided to buy Libre 2 sensor and can see trends, morning g rise, overall average and predicted A1C. My bloods are now averaging 5.9 over past 2 weeks. I am on Keto and I.F...

I have been type 2 diagnosed 5 years ago. Up and down journey. At age of 55 found out that I could have ADHD and ASD. This may explain years of periodic depression with drop in Dopamine that makes me crave sugar. HBA1C in Oct 2021 was 101. I had pre assessment today and was told me hba1c had to...

Thank you so much for taking the time, bother, knowledge and kind advice. General consensus on Carbs is a no brainer. Will test first and consider all the points you make. Massive thanks again Kevin

Dear all, It seems that I may have a spike in my morning blood sugars down to either the Dawn Phenomenon due to my possible insulin resistance brought on by nocturnal increase in Cortisol, Glucagon and Epinephrine in preparation for when the body wakes up. Non diabetics have enough insulin to...

Thank you all for your reply. I'm not disputing anything your telling me but the fact that I've been doing testing regularly and in spite of all those carbs theres not been one reading higher than 6.5 for past 2 months. I have regularly had my toast, banana and honey with no spike in my...

I am type 2. In the last 9 weeks I've manged to lose a few stone, bloods are consistently 4.3-6.8 I'm now off Metformin and exercise every day. I walk about 8 miles a day. Blood pressure is now normal range. On Friday morning my fasting sugar lept up to 10.2 in the morning prior to breakfast. I...

Big thanks for your feedback Carty. Will monitor things closely. Going back to get field tests now. Optician agreed it was likely to be big step in diet. I went on Keto 2 weeks ago and already lost 1 stone and my daily bloods have gone from 26.5 to 6.5mm/l This certainly no destination and a...

Many thanks Really appreciate your comments. Comforting. Kev

Appreciate it Jim. No retinopathy but did find cataract. Glad I went today. Cheers Kev

Thank you. Very comforting to know. Kev

Fortunately I smash kidney stones. I was actually better than average even though past week has been diabolical. In 12 days I've lost a stone too ! Keto way forward. Big thanks

Thanks Kay, Big change in sugar levels was to blame but found cataract. At least I know now. Really appreciate the time you took to comment.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the feedback. Already booked opticians. They agreed it was drastic change in dietary regime but also found a developing cataract in my right eye which they say was diabetes induced. Appreciate the comments Big thanks Kev

Hi all, Been type 2 diagnosed for 2 years. My HBA1C was 97 on my latest check. Usual blurry eyes and peeing all night but no other symptoms. 10 days ago I stopped all carbs and sugar. But in the last 7 days my eyesight has progressively got worse in dramatic fashion. Cant see my texts to...

I have been a yo yo dieter as my weight has been a problem for 35 years. I'm now 52. My HbA1C went from 47 to 54 then 58 back to 54 then last Christmas went to 78. I went on Keto diet and extreme walking as part of training for an ultra challenge. By April my levels were down to 43 ! I did...

Totally agree with your comments. I'm an all or nothing character which can be difficult for me. Not figured out yet on sustainability but I suppose there is no option. Thanks [emoji16][emoji106]

Appreciate your. Comment MeiChanski. Getting bloods done Monday for HBA1C. Been stressed has a lot to answer for in addition to me losing my way since May. I was walking 50 miles on weekends and know I need to get back on the saddle again. I'm doing Thames 100km ultra again in a years time. Aim...

I know Mike, Scary stuff. No time to wait on this one. Diet and exercise vital. Just shows how complacency can set one back. Thanks for the time to comment. Cheers Kev
