I was diagnosed with type 2 just over 2 years ago, with diet and exercise I reversed it after a year and I’m in no meds. I’m Male 54 years old. I have just had another fever which is my 4th since October last year. Had one in October two in February just 2 weeks apart and this one one now. The...

So I had a really nasty virus in February and not felt quite right since. So decided to get one of those health screens done just to wet mind at rest. All my obvious diabetes stuff was checked month ago by GP and all more or less good cholesterol bit high. In this test Hbac1 was little better 43...

In what regard ?

It’s basically a marker for inflammation in the body. It’s a very vague marker really and doesn’t point to anything specific. It just sort says something isn’t quite right and is used with other indicators to make a diagnosis. I have read it is raised with Covid and can take a while to return to...

Not really diabetes related but I know you guys are knowledgeable and just trying to put my mind at rest a bit. Fortunately now have my type 2 under control with diet/exercise. But with my last Hbac test (40) my GP ordered some other general blood as I’ve had a few fevers well actually 3 in last...

White blood cells Actually I’ve just seen something else that says 2-4 weeks to go back to normal. And I guess the fact your GP retested you after over 3 weeks shows it can skew results for a while.

Thanks Hsss that’s reassuring. Kind of what I was thinking but good to hear your story. Hope you’re fully recovered now.

I went for Hba1c today still waiting on that. But also had FBC. Everything was normal except WBC was very slightly high 11.5 range is 11. I had very bad fever and cough last week. Basically just wondering how long after a bad fever would WBC be raised. I still feel bit post viral and slight...

Ah interesting I didn’t think about that. How about hydration can that effect it, was quite a hot day and I’d walked a few miles to the hospital. Not sure what to answer in regard to diet is “ decent “ I think pretty much like I said when I first got diagnosed I was much stricter. Now I have a...

Had my 3 month test and everything more or less ok Hba was 39. Of slight concern was low HDL chlosterol/ high triglycerides although both just within range I’d like them to be better. Is there anything obvious I can do ? I’ve lost 3 stone now 87kg so pretty much ok I’m 6ft. I walk 70/80 miles a...

Thanks for responses.

Not so much in regard to diabetes but just generally any adverse reactions to this. Having it early in the morning and not sure if I should make any plans for the day or just stay home in case feel bit dodgy ?

Having only been diagnosed 6 months the Hba1c test does feel like a constant cloud hanging over you. I guess In a way it’s a good thing as it really keeps you in check and there’s no cheating it. I guess it’s also kind of nice having a target every 3 months but also a bit of a pressure. I’m...

Just got 2nd result. Went from 38 to 39 not to much damage after 1 week then haha. Back to the grind.

Like I said will be interesting to see if the new test after 1 week slightly off the rails alters anything. Tbh I was walking so much I was a little more relaxed with the diet in the 2nd 3 months. But the walking at current levels isn’t sustainable, so I will have to find the balance between...

One other thing I should mention and absolutely no idea if it played a part. But started drinking Yerba Mate tea about 4-5 months in. There is a lot of good reports on it, what I have categorically found with it is the ability to exercise for longer, quicker recovery and no muscle pain which is...

Just wanted to say big thank you to this place. Was in total panic when got diagnosis 6 months ago. After some reading I decided to go the Diet and exercise root for a bit and see how things went. My first Hbac1 was 101 end of March. Next went to 52 latest last week 38. Was hoping for anything...

So basically as I’ve done really well last 3 months with diet and exercise. Hb 101 to 52 and lost 2 stone. My numbers consistently 5s or high 4s before meal I decided to see how I’d react to a slice of cheese cake. So stopped at my favourite patisserie on way home had a decent size slice of...

Yeah I’m not really liking how it’s making me feel gonna stick with the Yerba Mate been working well for me.
