Hi thank you for your reply. I feel the best I have in a while too. And really boosted getting the 42mmol result after last year's worry. I think it's the fats with me as I rarely eat meats, just by choice I prefer vegetable dishes. But this last 9 months due to stress i've caved in a bit with...

Thank you, I'll do that.

I'll be reading up on it. Thanks. Am just so happy I got the 42mmol after last year's 66. And everything else is fine.

So after a 66 mmol reading last year, and pulling myself together after a lapse, I had my yearly Hba1c test this week and it's come back at 42mmol/mol... other tests full blood count/urine etc normal. Only thing stands out am concerned about is LDL cholesterol was apparently 5 last year (gp...

oh lol ok, I usually take one and they use a test strip thing then send the rest to the lab here. Oh well i'll just do one and fridge it until I leave then it's up to them. Thanks.

I usually have an early-ish morning appointment for my yearly check up for blood test/weight/etc but this time it's had to be afternoon. So am wondering if am right that the urine sample they want is an early morning one? but it will be hours until they test it if done in the early morning, will...

Thank you

Thank you

Hi everyone, sorry if this has been asked/answered before on here somewhere. As well as Diabetes type 2 I also suffer with Bipolar Disorder, Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Any one or more of these can and do upset my appetite. At the moment I am suffering anxiety and this just makes any food at...

Hi, mine always say "abnormal."..and on occasion "to be expected" or no further action. In my case it was abnormal as in diabetic and not non-diabetic = normal...and the to be expected was that it was in the range for diabetes which I have and not too high...if that makes sense. I rang the nurse...

Coffee doesn't upset my BG much at all. Last check after two cups in the morning was .7 up so i'll happily take that and enjoy my morning coffee's. I only have either almond milk or skimmed milk in it. Having given up so many other things there is no way in hell my coffee is going over .7 for...

Hi the nurse I see at my diabetes check ups told me that any cream is fine, as long as its a moisturiser. I popped into our local Boots which was the nearest chemist to the surgery/taxi and got a cheap one that does the job fine. I smear it on each night before bed, and with old socks that won't...

Am out of testing strips at the moment, but will be buying some as soon as am paid this month. For me if I don't test reasonably regularly I find it too easy to slide into bad habits. Although my last scare did teach me something and I probably wouldn't be anywhere near as bad, for me the finger...

Brocolli and Chia seeds...I swear by them.

My numbers in that post were wrong lol...since using the chia seeds am in the 6's and although am out of test strips at the moment am getting more soon. Have dropped the oats to 20g today as wasn't even able to eat all my breakfast with more of them. Am going to try pumpkin seeds too, on my...

I had a 66 in March and raised liver in tests. Scared the hell out of me, that was enough to get me back on track. We order shopping online and don't buy anything I need to avoid. Lean meats, eggs scrambled or omelette recipe given on here. Vegetables in a from scratch curry, no shop bought...

There is no way if hell had me that I could walk 6 miles a day (I have FMS and Arthritis) and I doubt many other people would even have the time for that. Weight loss if over weight is good for our body anyway. When I first got my T2 diagnosis the nurse told me she had other patients who were...

Hi I am type 2, and try to be low carb as carbs scare me to be honest. I cook everything from scratch and keep as low carb as possible. Dropped a urine sample into GP as I think something is up with that and waiting for results. I have lost weight since really getting back on track in March and...

Thank you

Am having one of those days I seem to get too many of...so I went off the rails last year a bit and pulled myself back on track in Feb this year, had the yearly appt in March, results liver was raised, tested that again in May and was just inside the recommended range. Have kept solidly to my...
