No I need to loose it, I have been loosing 3/4kg a week since starting Keto. I was just worried it was too much of a change too soon going from 3 meals plus snacks before diagnosis 3 weeks ago to one very low carb meal a day.

Hi everyone, i was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and now in my 3rd week of the Keto diet, on 500mg metformin morning and night but I’m finding it very difficult to eat, at the moment I’m having lunch around 12 and dinner around 5 (because I start work at 6 finish at midnight and don’t have a break in my...

Thanks for your reply, I am exercising more about 40mins a day now and loosing weight so hopefully I’ll see some improvements.

Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell my why my pre meal blood sugars are higher than my post? For example before dinner last night 7.4 after dinner 6.6 before lunch today 7.3 after lunch 5.7, by the time I eat again it’s back up in the 7’s not sure why. Thanks

I’m nearing the end of my 1st week of metformin, I was told to take it with my evening meal, the timing of my evening meal differs greatly due to shift work, does taking it at the same time of day matter? I was wondering if anyone takes it before bed instead? As I nearly always go to bed at the...

I’m New to checking my blood sugars wondering if someone can help me, tonight 2hrs after dinner tested blood sugars reading was 6.7 so fine, going to bed so rechecked and reading was 7.7 which I thought was odd as I haven’t eaten anything else and only drank water, so I checked again on a...

that’s a good idea thankyou

Thankyou, I have started low carb and upped my excercise i was only diagnosed 5 days ago in so I know I’ve got some time before I see improvements.

What does everyone use to check carb content? I have been using the my fitness pal and other websites but I’ve noticed they have differing numbers. Looking up bacon my fitness pal says zero carbs but then google says 1.4g per 100g same with red peppers when I’ve checked it has been quite a big...

Ok good to know it will come down at some point. Thankyou

Do you find that they still come down to target levels throughout the day? As I’m thinking with a level of 11 it’s going to be hard for me to get that down to target range for before/after meals.

Wondering why my morning blood sugar is so high? Ate last night at 6 nothing but water since, I’m going to fast and not eat till lunch time but as I’m new to testing I thought I would check when I woke up. Last night before bed was 7.2 this morning it’s 11 very disheartening!

Thankyou I've only started testing tonight so don’t really know any of my usual reactions to food yet. Maybe I will try the 30/60/90 min testing for now. Maybe you can help with my readings tonight and tell me if it seems right as I’m not sure. I’ve only been low carb for 4 days, I ate last...

Sorry if this is a silly question, I wanted to know when to test blood sugars after drinking either alcohol, fizzy or squash? Is it 2hrs later like after a meal? It’s not going to be a regular occurrence for me but as I’m new to this I want to know how they affect my blood sugar.

Thankyou can I ask what you mean by fat adapted?

Thankyou for the reply so can I ask you did this everyday? Not a 5:2 ratio?

Hi I am a recent new diagnosis T2 yet to see the nurse about it and I am looking into things I can do to help my weight/Hba1c and daily blood sugars. I have started low carb staying under 100g for now till I’ve seen the nurse. Has anyone combined low carb with the 5:2 diet? I have been reading...
