And that is exactly what happened - checked it 2 hrs later and it was back to 4.1 - i guess going into the 3s got me a bit freaked - thanks!

Yup I’m not on any medication - trying to beat type 2 naturally with diet and exercise - thanks for the comments

Hi all, I have been doing intermittent fasting for about 2 months and getting great results on a keto diet. I embarked on a strict fast about 48hrs ago (only drinking water) and my blood sugar was 4.3 in the evening and has now dropped to 3.8 in the morning after a light gym workout - should I...

Thanks Cat - I find my blood sugar does linger in the high range for longer if I get a bit naughty - for example last week I had a bowl of yoghurt and added a bit too many blueberries cause I didnt want them to go to waste) - my blood sugar was still around 7.3 about 3hrs after that snack - i...

Hi there just to check in on how I have been going. My fastings are down to about 4.8-5.1 daily and I’m exercising about 5km run a day - have lost about 12kgs in the past 4 weeks with a combo of low carb / keto diet and intermittent fasting..so I guess thats a good result so far... My...

Curious - people mentioned that they “turned around” their type 2 diabetes - what does that actually mean? Does that mean at some stage after all this dietary and lifestyle changes we can enjoy / better tolerate high carb foods again (like burgers / chips etc)? Or are they intolerable for life...

Is there any truths to meats being bad for Type 2’s? supposedly adds fat to the liver per some vegan ppl?

Thanks for all the responses - just coming to terms with the fact my 7-8 bananas a day (over 9 years) may have accelerated the issue under my misguided belief that I was being healthy cause they were fruits and fruits are good yea?...lol.......real eye opener the past few weeks have been...

@JoKalsbeek - thanks for the detailed reply. Bought myself a glucose meter this afternoon and will start monitoring after meals and report back - thanks so much all :)

Hi Thanks - what do you mean by “control our condition” - does that mean maintaining a safe blood sugar level and never (ever) eating sweets? Also, why the “high fats”? To put the body into a keto state?

Hi all, My fasting levels were 5.8 about 6 months ago and doc told me to exercise and I might be pre type 2. Fast forward 4 months and my blood sugar 2 hours after taking that glucose drink was 13.5 so doc recommended I go on Metformin at night slow release. HBA1c was 6.5. I’m reluctant to...
