What have you been eating?
I had the same thing this afternoon whilst working... So ended up walking up ten flights of stairs two times whilst at work to try to bring them down a bit.17.8 bg. It’s been going upwards all week, at what stage would you book an appointment to see the nurse. ??
Oven chips certainly won't help. What was in the salad?
It seems some type 2’s do not produce enough insulin of there own, hence the need, I also have no medical background, for me, there was little choice as far as i knowI have no medical background, but as a T2 I am producing insulin that my body can't cope with. I can't get my head around the reason for giving T2s insulin or drugs that promote insulin. I was diagnosed in November 2017 with 122 score. I was offered insulin and said no thanks. Went keto and within 4 months my HbA1c had gone down to 35.
I do understand that. When they offered me insulin, there was no talk of further testing to see whether I was producing insulin or not, and at that time I didn't even know enough to ask what my HbA1c score was!It seems some type 2’s do not produce enough insulin of there own, hence the need, I also have no medical background, for me, there was little choice as far as i know
i also went keto and had an hba1c of 34, 12 months after hba1c of 126

If you can stick to keto long enough to get through carb withdrawal, the rest is a doddle.

Interesting Guzzler, learning every day, thanks.Not everyone with T2 is hyperinsulinaemic, there are those whose beta cells have been so overworked that they have become dysfunctional or even perished. As we are not tested (by the NHS) for hyperinsulinaemia then obviously we cannot know. As we are all different this means that decisions and choices about lifestyle and treatment options are personal to us. Quality of life has to be factored in in any choices made and if insulin treatment brings about good QoL then then so be it.
