5.5 this morning at 6am. And a 7am enjoyable swimming session, 36 lengths today. Then a lovely afternoon painting the woodwork in my daughter’s room, managing to tip over the tin and having to clean it up. Thank goodness for satinwood, cleans up easily, but could have done without that !

A lovely 4.8 this morning

a lovely 5.3 this morning

Like rice then - no taste

Luckily I have a brilliant DN who immediately told me to go onto 60g carbs a day, and when I asked after a while why she hadn’t referred me to a dietitian which I am entitled to, she said it was because all the information they give is incorrect. My diabetes has not gone into remission as I had...

I’m type 2 on insulin on low carb and I don’t get one on prescription. I have to self fund. I have very tight control, and my hbac1 is ‘normal’. But I am very active so my blood sugar can go pretty low after exercise, and I’ll need to bring it up. There’s no way I could have such good bloods...

A lovely 4.9 this morning

Yes they tested for all. I only need small amounts of insulin because of my low carb diet and high level of activity. If I eat more carbs, I need a lot more insulin. I’m sure they won’t give me a c-peptide test, why? it won’t change my treatment. My father was type 2, slim, fit with a healthy...

Another lovely 5.2

I drank that fruit juice when I was feeling so ill with covid, before I was diagnosed. I am on a very low carb diet of 60g, actually advised by my excellent diabetes nurse. I do not eat grapes, and I only ate them occasionally before being diagnosed. I only eat blueberries, strawberries and kiwi...

I have absolutely no idea what they’re going on about. And how do you track NADPH???
