Just a thought but could you trial a CGM. I was testing new foods for the sake of my husband and once you see high numbers those foods aren’t so appealing anymore. At least that’s how I feel anyway.

No overnight last night I was spiking to 10, 11 12 13 +’s and I couldn’t sleep.

I’ve always struggled with my overnights since they took me off insulin during my pregnancy. It varies from what I’ve eaten in the day but today I just had a lick of FF creamer in the am after yesterday’s disaster but I’d say it will probably still be spiking over night with that. I’m not...

My BMI is 19.3 now, I put weight on very easily, just recently found out I have PCOS. My last HBA1c was 30 a few weeks ago but I’ve been controlling it in a weird sort of way by making mistakes and then fasting trying to get my numbers down when I mess up. I’m very carb sensitive. Have to get...

I was diagnosed with ‘gestational diabetes’ in my last pregnancy a year ago but it actually was undiagnosed diabetes I dropped 2 1/2 stone after the birth by IF v low carb then ate a bit more and fasting numbers went up. Private low carb endro I can’t help you, you haven’t reached diagnostic...

Thankfully it’s coming down now to 8.4 still not great I know but better. Hubby said use meters to try different foods which is where I went wrong as was doing better doing keto. Going to have to be fasting for days now to try and make up for this. I don’t want to be on any glucose lowering...

How do I get this blood sugar down please? I’m not on any meds. So so stressed. It’s been up there for almost 3 hours now.

Sorry I’m not meaning to upset anyone I know you can’t diagnose and I’m not looking for medical advice just personal opinions. I had ‘gestational diabetes’ but I believe it was in fact undiagnosed as I had symptoms for years, thirst, frequent urination, diabetic foot ulcers, Utis, thrush on...

Are they experts in diabetes care though with keeping such high carb foods. Isn’t that not going to make him sicker? I’m not meaning to be rude at all or contradict anyone but just my personal thought. I hope you feel better soon akindrat 18.

I’m speaking to my counsellor again tonight. I have so many emotions Lucy. so angry at making myself diabetic, worried about my eyesight and feet. Anxious around food now, stressed will they be wanting me on insulin as my body is messed up now what if I can’t fix it again. That would make me...

Thank you but I don’t have anaemia anymore. That’s not good advice for me as if I eat something high carb I can go up to 13’s sit there for ages, feel sick, thirsty running to the toilet and have to lie down. Be spiking all night and itching and not sleep. A metabolically well person that...

Hi Lucy thank you for your kind reply. Since I had to increase carbs for the treatment everything has gotten worse with the symptoms and my numbers. I did have a few slip ups lately and there has been a lot of stress so I don’t think that’s helping me either. I’m just so so depressed I feel...

I spoke to an NHS dietician before and she told me to have a healthy balanced diet with semi-skimmed milk, low fat everything and to snack all the time, I don’t trust them the NHS dietician’s are the worst in my opinion. Oh and to have plenty of fruit and starchy carbs!

Thank you for your reply I would love to believe I am wrong but I’ll sit up for hours at high numbers. Like if I have something to eat at lunch depending on what it is it will remain high or continue to spike. It’s not even within the range for diabetics as per the diabetes website. Nhs...

No BMI now 19 but I was just about obese at booking in appt during pregnancy. I get over 12’s on my glucose monitor sometimes and have to lie down. FBS from 5.7 to 7.7

Firstly I don’t mean to upset anyone this is a bit complicated. I was diagnosed with ‘gestational diabetes’ when I was pregnant I had to take steroids during the pregnancy as I was so sick. Baby just turned one. Anyway when I was diagnosed I was gutted and frightened it wouldn’t go away. I...

Thank you so much, it’s a blessing I have read this. It prompted me to ask for my egfr score. I was told results were all ok. My eGFR was 60! Would carnivore help it does anyone think? @bulkbiker I hope you don’t mind the tag, do you know? I’m only 35.

Hi Sorry to hear of your troubles. 48 mmol/l and over in a HBA1c test is diabetes. Are you sure you were 41?

Yes so I got a lab HBA1c in Dublin at 12.45pm on Sunday and it was 30 mmol/l then we did another one via forthwithlife on Monday lunch time and it was 31mmol/l. I’ll get another one sent off tomorrow but I suspect it will be up at least another few points. Like I say I’m above 6mmol most of the...
