Hi, So I am newly diagnosed, 8 or 9 weeks now and I have been using a CGM to try and get some patterns before I finally get an appointment to see a diabetes nurse. (I still haven't seen one which is a whole other story) and have noticed the last 2 days iv been getting a low blood glucose alarm...

Hi so I did a little experimenting this week. My wife wanted an Indian takeaway for her birthday so i went for tandoori meat and very little sauce then a little onion rice (basmati has lower GI right?) and a whole meal chapati. My bloods on GCM spiked at around 8.2 but was back to 5,1 within 90...

This is good to see thank you. I had read something similar elsewhere which is what lead me to set the limits to 3.9-7.8 for my time in target range on the CGM app. I am more than aware though that my carb intake is very low to achieve this. I would like to experiment and eat a regular diet...

See this is what I mean about contradicting info haha. So, I never ate breakfast. In fact I could go all day without eating then binge at tea time and though the night. Obviously this isn't good. Most I read is that a structured meal routine is essential with Type 2. Is this not the case? One...

I have also been offered a repeat HBA1C by my GP but I am holding off for a while the general opinion seems to be to wait 3 months. is it pointless going earlier?

This sounds like best case scenario! fingers crossed! haha

Hi Thanks for the reply to be honest I am almost happy in a way that it has given me a kick up the a*** to sort my diet out and I would like to keep it healthy. if not for me then for my kids. Like I say it wasn't all that bad though probably just too much sugar and a few too many takeaways...

Thanks for your reply. I guess part of me is thinking that because my numbers appear normal, maybe it was a mistake. but I guess that's purely down to the changes I have made since diagnosis. It would be nice to think that carbs weren't always going to have to be cut out though! haha

Hi Everyone, I understand a lot of people post on here and many with the same questions so I will try not to repeat and I will appreciate any replies. So I was diagnosed Type 2 after being picked up on a works medical. No symptoms to note. my diet wasn't great and little exercise but quite an...
