A bit of a more delicate question. I woke up with a FBG of 5.1, almost straight after….my alarm warned me I had climbed to 7.5 and climbing. It did come back down fairly quickly. Now I know this isn’t a huge rise but we are trying for a baby and obviously want to keep sugars as low as...

Out for a meal this evening and coincided with my new Libre coming this morning. Took the opportunity to test a few foods - had steak spring rolls to start made from pastry and shared a portion of onion rings with my main. Raise of 2 and peaked at 5.6, pretty pleased with that. Not something...

Haven’t been able to post regularly here due to work, missing the low carb what we had today thread terribly! However got blood test results back today - last August Hbc was 88. Today it is now 32! Absolutely delighted, and just wanted to thank all on here for the low carb advice and recipes.

Was diagnosed in January HBA1c level of 88. Have been very low carbing since and it is now now 36. Absolutely delighted, just had to share the news and thank everyone on the forum who has helped with meal ideas and encouragement.

Hello! I had my first blood test after diagnosis today, the nurse gave some unusual advice along with the usual “don’t cut carbs” which I wanted to check. She told me not to eat after 6pm? As my body can’t cope with food after that? I have never heard this before and wondered if eating dinner...

I’ve been invited very last minute for my first diabetic eye screening tomorrow. I haven’t had any information other than a voicemail to give me a time and place - just wanted to check will I be able to drive after it? And will the results be given the same day? Thanks all.

I was diagnosed as T2 on Friday and had a Hba1c of 9.6 and fasting level of 11.2 and have been eating low carb since the beginning of the year. I’m waiting for a meter to arrive to begin testing. My husband and I decided to start trying at the beginning of December - not seriously but not...

A little bit of a complicated and long one to start so apologies - had symptoms last July and went to the Drs in August to be checked. Was told if I heard nothing back not to worry. Heard nothing so great. Fast forward to last week went for annual blood pressure review and was told that the...
