Thank you for your reply. I have ‘long covid’ but the fatigue is worsening. My waking bloods are 8, between 5.8 and 7.1 before a meal and then between 9 and 14 2 hours after eating . I will try and get an appt but I’m more likely to meet a unicycle riding cat juggling flaming torches than...

Thank you for your reply. I have cut back on carbs but nothing too extreme. I’m struggling to get my head round it all to be fair x

Thank you for the info, I will have a proper look around now that I have the diagnosis. Willpower has never been a strength but no better reason to develop some!!!

Thank you so much for your reply, it’s much appreciated. It definitely sounds like the way forward I just haven’t got a clue where to start and how to incorporate it in to family meals. I said to her about monitoring and she said as Im on metformin it would be pointless?? I saw diabetes...
