Thank you, I suppose we have bad times but looking at the bigger picture is motivation enough

I was diagnosed with Type 2 in October 2021 with a Hb1ac level of 77. This came as a bit of a shock and with the help of this forum and the initial worry of losing toes and my eyesight i managed to lose over 3 stone in 6 months by cutting out carbs massively to what i was previously used too...

I managed to speak to my doctor and she suggested I stop my metformin and carry on what I’m doing regarding dirt and exercise and see what the blood levels are in 3months

Thanks for the comments, It came as a massive shock to me and virtually cut out carbs for the first month but then just started testing bloods on things that I thought may trigger my blood levels. I didn’t snack at all and just had breakfast lunch and dinners and the portions were a lot less...

I have just phoned up my doctors for my results on my recent blood test, this is the first one after being diagnosed in October 21, originally my hb1ac level was 71. I have managed to exercise everyday by walking my mad dog and shed around 3.5 stone in the process whilst also trying to keep to...

Ok many thanks, don’t want to cheat the system I suppose

Hi all, firstly i have found this forum beyond helpful and it has gradually put my mind at rest since being diagnosed and panicking that id lose my eyesight or feet in the next week. I have embraced the low carb way of life and the consequences have been enough for me to not over indulge and...

Ok thanks, I did do a test at 3hrs and that dipped to 6.9 as you can see from mySugr app, would it go up again after 4hrs, still a novice at this and just trying to see triggers,

Since I was diagnosed with Type 2 last month, I have cut down massively on carbs as best I can. Yesterday we visited a Marstons Restaurant and had wings and 1/2 chicken with veg and chips (tut-tut) I know I shouldn’t but thought I’d just see what the spike was. Tested before the meal and it was...

Had a phone call this morning from the diabtetic nurse i saw a couple of weeks to check how i was doing, which i thought was good as not sure if they did followups. Anyway she asked how my sugar levels and these range from 6-7 before food and spike once ive had food and i try to get it to...
