remission

sorry if you think this is a stupid question, I was only diagnosed with type 2 just over a month ago, I’m 23 years old. I’d say for the last 4 weeks my blood sugars in the morning are between a 4.2 and 5.1. It’s usually the same before meals. And after meals it’s usually never above a 7.2...

this is something I’ve been really thinking about...even if it may sound stupid to some....I didn’t have symptoms of diabetes until my blood test stated my blood sugars was high..... So let’s say for example there’s a person out there who is diabetic but they don’t know it, let’s say they are...

so I was diagnosed the beginning of March, I have since lost 1.5 stone (still have 7 to lose)....so for the past 2-3 weeks my blood sugars have been perfect...when I wake up it’s between a 4.2-4-7.....after my meals it usually is around less than 6 one hour post meal and below 5 2 hrs....I...

hi everyone so today before lunch my blood was 5.0 mmol..... One hour post meal it was 5.5 Two hour post meal it was 6.6 Three hours post meal back to 5 Was the rise and length of it good?

First of all I want to say hi to everyone :) I'm T1D in remission perion, I was diagnosed 5 months ago. Right now I don't use long acting insulin at all, my doctor asked me to stop. I started ketogenic diet a week ago, since than my average blood sugar is 80-100, and it's very stable. I am...

how long have you been in remission for? Has it been harder than you thought to maintain normal blood glucose levels? Has your diet slightly changed since going into remission (are you more strict with your diet or can be a tiny bit flexible)

so 4 weeks ago I had a blood test as my periods were playing up, had a phone call to say my blood glucose levels were high, my hba1c was 8.4, so 4 weeks later just my second blood test to ‘confirm it’, my hb1ac was 7.7...which I guess mean I’m type 2 diabetic.....I’m gutted and very upset I’ve...

Hopefully.... :) Carrying on from my last post about changes after diagnosis, I went in for my first BG test and review since diagnosis of T2 in October, I was first diagnosed with a hba1c reading of 49. My results have come back with a reduced reading of 41, happy girl, woohoo! Officially...

I guess this question is for those who have controlled bg or as some would say ‘reversed’ or ‘in remission’ For those who lost quite a bit of weight through diet and exercise did you insulin sensitivity increase? Are you able to eat more carbohydrates than before? I know everyone with...

So today was my first appointment with my endo and they did my HB1AC at the same time and got a shock. 41 Even after December and my poor adjustment and coming off sitagliptin and statins I’ve reached borderline levels. Consider me a life follower of LCHF and fasting because it is saving my...

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to line out some goals for myself and ask some questions here as an update. Getting myself started with keto now and intermittent fasting because I feel so full at mealtimes now it is not even funny. Question one is the 16:8 an effective fasting method for...

Hi, I'm doing a diet and regular (and vigorous) exercise 6 - 7 times a week. Already lost 3+ stones. I expect my doctor to take me off Metformin (2x 500mg / day) soon - even before my diet and weight loss the HbA1c was 49 - 50 and I'm hoping that it will be much lower than that now (I'll go for...

I started a LCHF diet in June, but was unable to reach ketosis for some reason - possibly too much protein....? My HbA1c was 116 in May 2018, 54 in August, and today I found out it's now 43. My liver function tests were finally normal in August (ALT = 24, down from 66 a couple of years ago) and...

As forum members now have a few articles under our belts we thought it might be a good idea for them to be linked to a specific thread on the forum for all to see, and also share where possible. I'm going to kick this thread off. I'm so very happy to do so. Many from this forum want to help...

Just got my results today: HbA1C is 38 down from 51 Triglycerides 1.41 down from 1.97 Plus I've lost nearly 2.5 st since late May. My DN is going to check out the lowcarbprogram, after not taking much notice when I first saw her.

Just received a call from my GP this morning. HBA1c has dropped to 37 (5.5). Another kick in the bum to Diabetes and the fight continues. Thank you all for your AMAZING support !!!

Well...what a great event in Birmingham it has been. Building foundations. First of many events, fingers crossed. Massive thanks to Diabetes.co.uk and their PR team for the help and support given to us all. A happy bunch of diabetics getting together to try and help others, travelling from...

I'm classing myself as in remission as my last hba1c was 41. Its in the 'normal' range (under 42). I would not class it as that if it was over 41 though. As far as im aware Professor Roy Taylor, Dr David unwin and virta health define reversed/remission as sub 48. I'm just wondering what...

A new sort of revolution seems to be taking place in the state of Maharashtra, India, for treatment of obesity, and for prevention and remission of type 2 diabetes. The greatest thing about this revolution is that it has been arrived at through participation of masses, and asks people to follow...

I have never written a blog / post etc but i wanted to do this today to show how anyone with Type 2 can try and get rid of it using the same process that i followed. Its scary when someone tells you that you have a chronic condition and I hope anyone reading this will take confidence that with...
