[QUOTE="JayBee28, post: 2451408, member: 549078"] Good morning all, I’m just about to start my 5th week of My Type 2 Journey. HBA1C was 51 when I started. From day 1 I have cut out all sweets, biscuits, chocolate, sugar in tea etc along with all carbs. I tried porridge once 2 weeks ago with almond milk as an experiment to see how I reacted and it was a disaster BG up to 13. I’ve upped protein and I must have 10 of my 5 a day the amount of veg and salad I’m eating. Fruit wise I eat mostly berries now and the occasional plum and have included almonds and walnuts in my diet which have been a revelation. 85% of the time I go in between meals without snacking, this is where a few nuts come in handy. Whereas before, I would snack all the time. I go for a walk at least 4 times a week and have upped my water intake. I’ve only lost 10 pounds so far (plenty more to go). My BG levels are generally in the sixes in the morning and before meals with a little spike after eating, max 2.When I first got my monitor I was horrified that readings were between 11-12. The only symptom I had was feeling tired. To be honest I feel 100% better, I’ve so much more energy and the no carb thing is so much easier than I thought. I think I’ve made a good start, I have my first full proper check with the diabetic nurse in a few weeks. HOWEVER, I am getting cramp really bad at night which is horrendous. I was up three times in tears last night it was so painful. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or need to take any supplements. Any advice would be gratefully received. Have a good weekend. Thank you, [/QUOTE]
