Hi @Rachox, have you received any update on the situation from MySugr? Still not working on my side of the pond…

Just received a response today saying « hope you were able to resolve the issue on your own (!!!) and that we were able to at least assist you in getting there ». Unbelievable! Of course nothing’s changed, still no HBA1c on my screen… They had said they would include a fix in an « upcoming App...

I received the same reply today, so great…. Wonder how long it will take the busy bees to get it working again!

I didn’t update the app myself, but I have a sneaky suspicion it was done automatically (I looked at the instructions manual and the date at the top is “Version 3.90.1_IOS - 24-03-04”.

I have the same problem, my phone is an Apple 8 on IOS. I’ve just sent a query on the MySugr app helpline. Fingers’ crossed they can do something!

Thanks Rachox, sorry I changed ID as I just realised I had 2 accounts, Celadon and Europa… So I chose the older one. This is a bit confusing, sorry!

Thank you all, i had thought i wasn’t doing too bad (all thanks to the info on this site). I’m in Paris so that i doubt my doctor will read documents in English but i’ll read them! . I’ll try and convince him that even though i’m 65, overweight, diabetic (A1C at 6.1%), i can come off statins...

The blood tests i had done were fasting ones.

Forgot to put my question: do you think i can carry on my weight loss journey into keto without worrying about my cholesterol levels ?

Hi, not sure this is the right thread for my question. I’m told i have to increase my statin (right now at 10mg per day) because my ldl is “high” for a diabetic at 2,39. My other results are as follows: Total cholesterol. 4,79 Hdl. 1,76 Trig. 1,39...

Mine was 6.9 this morning, and just now at 1.30 pm I re-tested before lunch and I'm down to 4.7 (doing low carb for 5 weeks now). Cannot get a hand of fasting BGs!!!

Thanks, I've just ordered an Omron scale on Amazon for €99 (I'm in Paris). I'll have it tomorrow, yeah!!! Thanks for the tip, DCUKMod...

Thanks No2D, that's really interesting, I'd no idea about any of this. I'm plodding along on LC, but I must say it's wonderful not to have cravings. I even "forgot" to have lunch yesterday at home.... Me, who've thought that possible!!!

Thanks all, I will check out the fat measuring scales on Amazon (a birthday is coming up soon, will have to choose between the posh handbag and some useful scales ;) I have measured my waist and I've lost 6 cm, yeah! (don't know how much that is in inches, sorry!).

I've been low carbing for 2 weeks now, also reducing my calories to 1000 to 12000/day. There's been an impressive weight loss of 6.5 kilos (14 pounds) and I'm really chuffed. Brain fog is cleared and I'm not really hungry (amazing for me after 30 years of yo-yo dieting and days when I felt I...

Thanks Maudie, it's reassuring to have someone who has just started like me... I'm still trying to get the hang of eating to my new reduced appetite, but I'll get there. I tend to overeat and then feel really bloated. Some evenings, I've managed not to eat at all, I just wasn't hungry (me, not...

Has anyone recently started using the incretin mimetic drug Trulicity? I've started 5 weeks ago and I wouldn't mind having someone's input about this drug. I've lost 6 kilos in 5 weeks, it's quite amazing how my appetite has been decreased. Only drawback for the moment is a permanently dry...

Totally agree with you Enclave, it's only been 5 weeks for me on LCHF and already 7,5 kilos lost (over a stone by UK standards, yeah ;)). My French GP wanted me to go for a sleeve, but I got cold feet when reading up about it on internet. All she could propose was Metformim and a sleeve, no...

Snacks? Just discovered organic peanut butter on celery sticks, not too often it's a real treat... Otherwise I always keep an assortments of nuts on my person, I need the support as walking down the street is hard for me (I live in Paris and I go by a lt of patisseries on my way to work!).:)...

Thanks Daisy, I will print out and read thouroughly.
