Just wanted to know how long you good people have been living with and managing your type 2 diabetes?

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)

How many carbs do you eat? I know everyone with diabetes is different and some can handle more carbs than others. Also what sort of carbs do you eat?

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...
