Hi thanks for sharing , I was scared the first time this happened back in 2017, but once I knew what it was I was fine and I am this time . I hope you are doing good .

I had eyes tested three weeks back just got new reading glasses but they are too strong now since I started low carb , I have gone back to my old ones .

Hi I've not posted for ages , I've been through a very tough time . Had endometrial cancer in 2023, lost my house , but moved into social housing which is great , but for months I didn't care about my diet and ate lots of bad stuff. Had a1c back its 117, the highest I've had , refused metformin...

So i took my finger test just now and it is 8.5 , I am going to order some strips keep an eye on it . Won't test multiple times a day though . I am happy with 8.5 as a few months back it was 16 and the highest was 31 .

I agree with you on this , it isn't easy . I've noticed before low carb my finger blood test was 16 now its averaging 10.3 , I've had 8.7 also , but still too high . I can only do my best and my best is what I am doing . Thank you for your reply :)

Thank you . My GP wanted 2 months before A1c again its usuall y 3 months . I had uterine cancer removed last Jan , and I ate very badly I was treating myself to lots of sugary foods , and with the stress and anxiety i just let myself go. So I've really tried hard and walk an hour daily . I've...

I've got my A1c on Wednesday , I've been doing low carb for 9 weeks , my A1c was 111 in December , I can only afford to test in the morning as to test each meal is too expensive . My morning test was 16 in December , now it is down to 9.3 and 10.7 . Does low carb keep lowering A1c if the...

Haven't been well this week fighting a cold virus , morning readings have been 14.2 , but today had my breakfast and tested and it was 9.7 . I haven't had that low in a long time , so hopefully the sugar dropping .

Morning , yesterday 13.8, this morning 12.8.

Morning , never tested yesterday as i had a huge panic attack so it wouldn't have given a good reading . This morning 12.2 so lowering .

Morning , it's coming down , 12.5 . Yesterday it was 14.0

14 again this morning , only been cutting out a lot of carbs for about 8 days . I need to include cancer killing foods which include parsnips and carrots , I think I only have around 80 carbs a day , I do not have milk in coffee now I drink black coffee as of 8 days ago , I love it and wish I...

never checked this morning as I was rushing got a busy day , but I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and then checked and it was 12 so it is going down .

This morning , 14.1 , its going the right way lol. Maybe it will start going down as the low carb diet kicks in , but I'd say 14.1 is better than 28 and 31 which I had in hospital and a month ago .

I eat Tesco fresh cream eclairs, I think my carb intake all day is def under 130, I cannot eat keto it has too much fat and makes me ill . So low carb is my best option .
