I'm a year in and I dropped my hba1c from 121 to 37 in 3 months from diagnosis by going low carb. Found out I'm pregnant and got all my blood done again because of it this week and my newest hba1c is 32! Seeing so many of you with non diabetic numbers for so many years makes me hopeful that...

Haha.... I'll have to try the low carb booze one day. We are trying to get pregnant so alcohol has been banished for the foreseeable future!

I was diagnosed end of June. I wouldn't worry so much it's just that we are trying to start a family and when I visited the specialist diabetic pregnancy unit at my local hospital to get the go ahead to try conceive, they gave me table with BGL targets to keep to during pregnancy. I've managed...

Hi all My BGLs are great and within range for the day and get lower and into the low 5s by the late afternoon. My post prandial dinner BGLs are always in the 6's but no matter what I do my morning fasting BGLs are always higher than my BGLs during the rest of the day. My post prandial...

76.4kg.... smallest I've ever been in my adult life. Down 14kg. My target was 75kg so almost there.

https://www.sweetashoney.co/flaxseed-wraps-keto-vegan-gluten-free/ Try this recipe. It's pretty good and so easy to whip up. I add a few tablespoons of grated parmesan into the mixture and if I want to make it into crackers, I also add some fresh rosemary from my garden, roll it out thin onto...

Yay! Glad to hear that! Was thinking that my body was healing a little but I wasn't sure because I'm new to this and nor very educated on the subject. I have also noted a scar that I've had for 5 years from a spider bite has dramatically faded in the last two weeks too. Don't know if that's a...

Thank you for that. I've noticed in the last 2 weeks that my fasting bgls have come down a lot and I'm seeing 5s a lot more often when testing my pre prandial bgls. I wouldn't have had the banh mi as a treat or a tester before but seeing my lower numbers, I thought maybe my body was starting to...

Haha! The 4.8 would be awesome in any other scenario for me but when I saw it I knew it had to do with a biological mechanism as a result of my high bgl after my carb rich meal. I have noticed though that over the last few weeks my fasting bgls have come down a lot and that I'm seeing more...

Thanks for explaining that. I really do try to be good and stick to my low carb lifestyle so this occasion definitely made me more aware of how not so great food choices affect my bgls.

Thank you so much. I've never thought of making my own and will give that a go. We are trying to get pregnant so a banh mi won't be a safe pregnancy food because of the pate and meat. Combine that with my type 2 so it definitely won't be something I'll be having for an occasional treat for a...

Hello All. I'm six months into this journey and have gotten myself from an extremely high hba1c to one in normal range in three months, thanks to all you lovely people and your advice. So thankyou for all your help. It's made this whole thing so much easier to navigate. I test my BGLs pretty...

We are trying to get pregnant at the moment so I'm always concerned with what could potentially be on my hands before taking my fasting BGL. Your comment really resonated with me and made me belly chuckle so loud that my doggie woke up with a start!

The back of the majority of porridge or oats packets here actually count a serving size of 40 grams as a serve. A rare few brands count it as 45g. A 35 gram serving that I eat isn't too far off of a serving for me to really recognize as a huge difference. Its literally less than a tablespoon...

I eat porridge oats about 4 mornings a week but I buy the ones that are less carbs per serve because they are cut with other grains, seeds and lots of nuts. I have 35g of the oats with a 100ml unsweetened almond and coconut mixed milk and 30g fresh berries, 1 tsp chia seeds, 12g natural no salt...

I'm so happy to read your post update. I'm fairly new here. Was diagnosed end of June this year with exceptionally high numbers. I'm roughly your age and we were about to start ttc. I went super low carb, lost weight, excercised etc and I've finally gotten the go ahead to ttc as my last two...

I was diagnosed at the end of june with a hba1c of 13.3 so higher than yours. I ignored all the dietary advice for type 2 diabetics about eating 6 meals a day and the bulldust about low GI carbs at every meal. I went low carb but not keto. My second hba1c test was done 6 weeks after my first and...

I was at a party with an endocrinologist who is in their late 30s and are not too many years out from getting their qualifications. They specialised to be an endo and admitted to me that they learnt barely anything as part of their qualifications about what type 2 diabetics should be eating...

I don't know if this is true but my diabetic nurse told me that pushing your fingers too close to where you've pricked yourself to get enough blood to put on your test strips can cause a higher and inaccurate reading. She said to use gravity and apply pressure further below on your fingers and...
