Hi (This is long I am sorry) I am newly diagnosed T2 diabetes (4 days ago) I was experiencing classic symptom of excessive thirst and peeing a lot. Looking back I had other symptoms such as my hair thinning but I put this down to stress etc. I got a hbac1 test with a chemist and it was...

Hi all, My January HBA1C was 6.4, I had another last Wednesday and got a call just now from the GP Surgery telling me the GP wants to see me to discuss my latest results. Next available apt is Friday which feels a life time away. My anxiety issues don't help, should I be concerned? thanks, Ryan

Hi all. First day of joining the site, mostly at the insistence of my dad to share my last 6 months. I'll caveat at the start that what I write below is of course a subjective experience but I know also that a lot of us, me included, struggle daily with our diet, health, trying to get back to...

Hi I have just had my diabetic check and my HbA1c reading was 41 (I’m happy and work hard on that). I was told by the Diabetic nurse that this was pre-diabetes and that the pre-diabetes range for a T2 diabetic is 37-42. Has anyone else heard that? The Diabetes UK website says normal is below...

Hi all. I'm Chris. I and 49 and was diagnosed two years ago with T2 diabetes. It came to light when I collapsed with what turned out to be a pulmonary embolism (blood clots on lungs) caused by a DVT in my calf, which was in turn caused by an undiagnosed bowel cancer. I had sky-high blood...

I have been type 1 diabetic for 6 years now and I want to take control back of my life. I have been depressed for 5 years and this has had a major impact o n my overall sugars. To say I have had good control would be a joke, I've been terrible. I want to finally have control over them and get...

First Post Introduction So I've had Type 1 Diabetes for the past 6 years now. I was diagnosed during secondary school in Year 11, and missed half of my final year due to lethargy and severe depression. Once diagnosed, I was able to get back to school, and managed to get respectable grades...

Hiiiii guys. Some context to what I'm about to share. I was diagnosed Pre-Diabetic with two HbA1c tests of 48 and 43 in Feb this year and I posted recently about an upcoming blood test that I was super nervous about. Well, I just got the results. New HbA1c is... (drumroll) 31!!!! Hurrah...

Hi All, Just got a1c results and they were higher than expected. I use a CPAP machine and have an abnormally high haemoglobin count due this. As its the glycated haemoglobin that is measured to get the hbA1C, I wonder if anyone knows how a high haemoglobin count might affect the hba1c result.

Hello everyone, I am following Dr Bernstein's protocol in the sense I use Tresiba and eat low/no carb for 9 months now. At my diagnosis in Sept 2019 my A1c was 92, after 4 months thanks to Dr B approach was down to 42, last month's A1c was 34. My problem is my consultant is hesitant to prescribe...

Hi All, I have been a member here since I was first diagnosed as T2 a couple of years ago. Thanks to the great advice and information, I've so far managed to successfully control my T2 through diet and lifestyle. However, something strange happened a couple of weeks ago with my annual check-up...

So back in April I had an emergency admission as my ketones was +4, sugars between 17-HI & urinating and drinking a lot, loosing weight and generally feeling like ****... I have a family history of both type 1 and 2... the nurses are now considering if I could be type 2. I am 20 years old 8st...

I didn't realise that the Hazard Ratios were so bad even in the 'pre-diabetic' region of the HbA1C levels. Note that the HbA1C's are shown measured in % (i.e. old style). https://twitter.com/DikemanDave/status/1274583863570755585...

Hi everyone, I'm super happy and just want to share: Diagnosed in February this year, I felt so lost and shocked. But I researched a lot, made connections and learned a lot. Things have been improving more and more. I've joined facebook groups, athletes with diabetes groups. I wasn't able to...

Apologies for a longish post: I've been concerned about possible pancreas/gallbladder liver issues for a while because of rib pain; I went to see the doctor a couple of months ago and he diagnosed me with rib inflammation, said my liver and gall bladder seemed ok, but suggested I come back to...

Hi everyone, My name's Ellie and I'm completely new to having an account on this website although I've been reading the forums for a while now I'm pretty nervous about posting as I get afraid I'll sound silly. I am currently 24+6 pregnant. At the end of January, I received a phone call from...

Hi I am trying a new way of monitoring my glucose level. The average started at 6.7, but using a sensor, the average today is 5.1. I am taking my gl every 30 minutes and normally will do a one minute star jump. The constant monitoring allows me to know what food and snacks make my gl peak or...

Well 2020 certainly doesn't like things straightforwars eh? Diagnosed in mid february as type 2 out of the blue, with HbA1c at 11.8%, 1 week later diagnosed as type 1.5 maybe, as c peptide level was 0.8 out of a range of 1.1-1.4 and HbA1c had climbed to 12.1%. Put on 10 units of lantus a day but...
