At diagnosis was 9.6 On 7th nov 2012. I thought it was 13.6 but had it mixed up with another figure. 1st Hba1c test in feb since diagnosis was down to 6 in old money, 42 in new money. Mainly down to low carbing

Thanks Montana. Yes, testing myself has been absolutely vital. Take care

Thank you Guys. I cant believe how much better I feel. I was still worrying though that my results may have come back less positive and how I would have felt after putting so much effort in.

I have not posted anything on here for a while but I had my quarterly HBA1C test result on friday and had to tell the world about the results. I was diagnosed on November 7th with an HBA1C level of 13.9. Since then I have kept to a low carb diet and lost lots of weight. My new HBA1C level is...

Diagnosed t2 2 weeks tomorrow. BG readings coming down nicely. However, getting a bit bored with diet from time to time to say the least. What do people try when they get an urge for things like pastry and things like desserts etc. could kill a New York cheesecake right now

Daibell. Thanks for the tips. I will get used to it. To be fair, when I had that muesli I think I did use an Alan partridge size dish as I was so hungry. I need to get used to the fact that fat is bad in excess but not as bad as carbs. I will get there

Hi Grace K, thanks for the encouragement. This Forum has been so much help already and I only joined 2 days ago

Hi Robinredbreast. I am glad that line made you smile which has actually made me smile. Thanks for reply

Thanks Fraddycat. I will try those tips but they just dont seem to make sense. I have to get more informed in how it all works.

Hi Merluna Thanks for the tips. You have done extremely well in 1 month. I hope it continues and my results will follow. I am finding it really difficult to work out what is best at moment but when I have my readings with me tomorrow will share them if its ok. On a bit of a roller coaster...

Hi Daibell it was no added salt or sugar meusli from sainsburys. prob had too much as i went to bed hungry rather than snack as i would have done before. Thought meusli would be harmless. I have an awful lot to learn

Can checking your bloods just after a hot bath affect the readings? My readings have been encouraging for the last day or so including a fasting reading this morning of 7.6 and now my latest reading 1.5 hrs after breakfast of muesli, skimmed milk and a couple of strawberries is 17.0
