type 2 diabetes

Hi. A question for those who've had COVID. Did your blood glucose levels wildly fluctuate? I'm double vaxxed (on waitlist for booster). Two weeks ago I got sick. Test last week was negative. But I'm thinking it was incorrect. Since I got sick my blood glucose levels are all over the place...

Hi, so I started on metformin a week or two ago and have already noticed my blood sugar coming down!! It was reading between the 20s and HI when I started but last night I had an 18 (after a crumble and Indian takeaway) then this morning down to 14!!!! I was wondering if anyone knows how long...

Hi, so I’ve had a phone call from my GP this morning to say my fasting blood sugar was raised (11.9) but my HBA1C was actually low? He said He’s pretty sure I’m diabetic based on my fasting blood sugar and the fact I’ve got symptoms but I need a call from the diabetes nurse which could take a...

Hi everyone. I'm totally new to this T2DM thing and am trying to formulate my meals and snacks etc... crazy amount if conflicting info out there. I'm aiming for a low carb diet but have a question about fizzy drinks. I know the usual suspects have aspartame which is no good at all for us, but...

Hi guys, just had my HbA1C done and got a result of 78mmol/mol which apparently is 9.3 in the old readings. I’m trying to work out if that’s really bad but all the info online is outdated. I’m panicking as I am trying and this is simply depressing me. Any advice appreciated.

This is a question that has been on mind for a while. Despite a lot of CGM studies and BG data on non-diabetic, i get intrigued to see how my family member's or friends' BG is going with the similar kind of food that I eat or with a different food they eat (post prandial) or just the fasting...

So it's a double whammy for me. Blood tests pre-chemotherapy showed a blood glucose of 24.5. I have never had a problem with high blood sugar and all my previous Hba1c tests have been well within the normal range (I have frequent FBCs because I'm hypothyroid). The DNS says this could be a...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes late July this year. It didn't come as a total shock as I knew I was pre-diabetic at the end of last year but failed to change my lifestyle. Obviously with the C would floating around (Corona) it's been stressful on everyone this year. But coming to...
