Thats fantastic!! Keep going..... and i hope you get the numbers from your bloods that your hoping for.

I posted it from the perspective of T2 only and i apologise if i offended. I did not intend to mislead anyone so thank you for commenting. I just wanted to reach out to people who are feeling what i felt 4 months ago.

No thank you for commenting and pointing that out.

Hi folks I was newly diagnosed as T2 in July with a HBA1 of 56. I found these forums and was given great advice. I increased the exercise, counted my carbs and i had my bloods done this week. My new HBA1 is 50! Im so pleased if i can get under 48 they are going to reduce my medication...

Newly diagnosed T2 and interested in this thread too. I row in the mornings and find it does increase blood sugars. But finding the gas tank analogy makes sense so while they have gone up, it will go into my muscles to replace the fuel i’ve used. Ie i shouldnt worry about it. Husband has bought...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue. At 11.30am i had a brunch later at 1.25pm my BS reading was 8.1. I haven’t eaten anything this afternoon so while trying to decide what to eat for tea, i thought i’d check my BS to help me decide. The reading was 15 i...

Thank you :) i think i jumped on at experiment. Made a decision am running with it then jumped to the depression. Got up this morning and realised ive lost half a stone in a week and a half. So where i would normally have treated that low mood with food, i didnt this time. The reality of my...

Thank you for the heads up. Im sorry you had to go through that. I’ll stay alert in case of thoughts of this nature creep in. If they do i’ll stop the med immediately without hesitation. I feel marginally better this morning. So my mood is up and down. Hopefully it will stabilise along with...

Thanks for the response. No nothing else, started metaformin, have adopted low carb diet, but slept awful last night. The only other thing is calories are down while im trying to find ways to up them, while staying low carb. I think its like you say sleep and withdrawal from higher sugars...

Hi everyone, newbie to low carb and BG sugar monitoring. Im experiencing some severe low moods. im down to 49g of carbs today and the only way to describe my mood is meh! Feel a little weepy, but i also slept rubbish last night, so prob a contributing factor. Only just starting the...

Thats all great advice thanks. I found the lancet thing that came with the Navii, okay once i knew what i was doing. Its just the lancet needles don’t seem long enough when loaded, even on highest setting. So need to invest in something slightly better but don’t want to spend a fortune on...

Hi i was diagnosed T2 last week. my monitor arrived today! For reference i ordered the glucoNavii from Home Health. The combined offer link no longer works. But i ordered my monitor a pack of 5 strips with the discount which worked out i paid for 4 the 5th was effectively free. I ordered...

Well everyone, my monitor arrived today! For reference i ordered the glucoNavii from Home Health. The combined offer link no longer works. But i ordered my monitor a pack of 5 strips with the discount which worked out i paid for 4 the 5th was effectively free. I ordered 100 lancets and it...

Hi Abi, also newly diagnosed this week. I understand how you feel about Covid making it harder. I had a high blood test result back in January. Had it been dealt with then, my blood numbers wouldn’t have got higher. *sigh* doctor reacted pretty similar to yours. Heres the med, see you in 3...

Well folks, im carb counting. Metered ordered with strips. Just waiting for it to arrive. Went for the navii by home health. Thanks again everyone. I feel like i have some direction now. Just eager to get started with the monitor now! [emoji1303]

Yeah i’m determined to have him rubbing his head in confusion! Thank you for your sharing your positive words of encouragement. I’m confident that i’ve got this for sure! And as someone else said i am going to kick this down the road as quickly as possible. :) will update the thread on how i’m...

Thats so helpful thank you. I will have a look into all of this! :)

They said to diagnose they would need to consecutive tests with high readings Hope your feeling better since you came off the med

I didnt think for a second it was, it was just how prob metaformin he was. Like you say just nod and grin (with my mask on)

Yeah thats exactly how i feel, i am going to see the diabetic nurse so hopefully get some better advice. I appreciate some of us are genetically predisposed to develop diabetes, but i really feel diet, exercise and mindfulness can also control the rogue gene. Im all for positive outcomes...
