It usually is a salad for lunch so lettuce, veg and some protein. What I used to eat before is high carb food. That Is before I was diagnosed 3 months ago.

Hi All, Just wondering if any of you has ever been feeling cold after eating? I went on low carb diet after being diagnosed and now whenever I eat lunch my feet and hands feel really cold. It usually passes after 20-30 minutes but was wondering if anyone has ever had similar experience? Just to...

:)

Thank you

So… been diagnosed with diabetes on 14/02 this year with my Hba1c being 117… my doctor told me to get tested after 6-7 weeks to see if my medication and lifestyle changes are working and I just got a message from my doctor saying that my Hba1c results are back and they are 53! 64 drop and I am...

Hi James, It is not a great feeling, we’ve all been through this. I have been diagnosed 6 weeks ago and still sometimes feeling down about this but you will improve… someone told me on here that this is a marathon rather than a sprint and it takes time to improve. Have you tried low carb diet?

You can have fried eggs, bacon or sausage for your breakfast and there are low card breads available so maybe try that. Good luck

Hello, yes, I have been doing low carb since I’ve found out I am diabetic. Usually have a yoghurt with few berries or cottage cheese with some veg for breakfast, then handful of nuts and sometimes a pear as a snack, salad for lunch and again salad with grilled chicken/fish for dinner. Found...

Hi, I’ve been diagnosed 3 weeks ago and my readings were very high when diagnosed-18.9 fasting and 17 an average. Started medication and diet and now it is between 7-9 but still mostly 8.2-8.9 so wouldn’t worry about it. Your body is still probably adjusting to medication. How long has it been...

OMG that's an amazing result and well done! Do you mind sharing how quick were your readings dropping (if you were using blood glucose monitor of course and if you still remember). I have been diagnosed 9 days ago, my HbA1c was 117 mmol so pretty close to yours and I just keep thinking my...

I've been diagnosed on valentine's day so not long ago either. Also had problems with taking blood sugar test but after few attempts it was fine. You need to make sure you have quite a bit of blood on your finger tip and when touching it with the strip you need to make sure the end of it touches...

Hi Ellie, I eat brown rice maybe once a week and honestly 3 table spoons of if. When I was diagnosed (8 days ago) my sugars were sky high -18.9 fasting and A1c was 12.9 which is equivalent to 117 depending on which measurement you use. It’s now between 8-9.7 for the last 3 days but it is higher...

I usually have natural yoghurt with a bit of raspberries or strawberries in the morning, a handful of nuts before lunch, for lunch a salad with veg, chicken/fish, egg for protein and really the same thing for supper when I get home. Sometimes I have soup, grilled meat, maybe a bit of brown rice...

Well done, that’s an amazing result!My HbA1c was sky high- 117, staring my 8th day on medication and diet, joined the gym… someone told me his BG went back to normal from 10 (fasting glucose) in just 3 days so I started to worry. I know it probably sounds naive but I thought medication will...

Well done! That sounds really encouraging. I can imagine it was not easy! Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate all the advice. I was just wondering how long did it take to get the blood sugars down? I mean should I be worried if after two weeks they are still too high even after taking...

Thanks for your response, so did you manage to reverse your type 2?

Thanks so much for the answer, I probably sound naive but thought after taking medication sugar level goes down quickly (to Normal level) and then you need to diet and exercise to keep it this way, this is why I thought I am doing something wrong. Wish you all the best in this journey! Not the...

I have been told exactly the same thing that I don’t need to test but how am I suppose to know if I am doing things right if I don’t? I bought one myself and do test, it’s only been 3 days and was wondering how soon does the glucose level drops of on medication and dieting?

Hi all, I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 and put on medication. My blood sugar level was sky high and was wondering how long does it take to get the levels down? I haven’t been given a glucometer but bought one myself and keep testing. Just wondering what is your experience? When did you...
