Blood Sugar in High 20's and GP not helping, please advise

Hey, that is such an improvement Scottie. Great stuff, you must be feeling really good. It's lovely to read and share this with you x
 
13.2 is brilliant, wait until you see it in single figures, I doubt we will be able to hold you down, and I don't think you will have that long to wait.
 
Hi Scottie, I stayed awake a long time last night reading this forum which I found quite by chance and im really glad I did. I read your thread with great interest, I really identified with everything you said and it's lovely to read how you've managed to turn things around. My levels on my recent tests werent as high as yours have been but im certain they will have been in my darker days when I was out of control. I have felt utterly terrible, always tired and napping, freezing cold and most recently my hair started falling out. Somehow a light came on yesterday and I decided to stop being in denial and face my condition head on. Your thread inspired me so much, I really hope I can be like you and succeed with this. I really admire you for commitment and determination, you should be so proud
 

Come on in Muggle the waters lovely.
I found this site about 3 weeks ago, and have found it to be very supportive.

I confess I was a little hard on Scottie the other week, but I felt she needed a little, kick. I didn't mean to be hurtful, hopefully she has forgiven me.

Welcome Muggle
 
Millysue thanks for the welcome. I hope you will do the same for me too, I know for sure i will need it when my new found enthusiasm wears off. Im trying the low carb high fat diet and after initially feeling full after my omette I am starving now. But I don't know if im genuinely hungry or if it's just because im changing my eating habits
 

Hello Muggle

Lovely to meet you, I have just read your thread and identified with all you had to say. It's really hard isn't it? But please don't worry, you will soon get in the swing of things, the people on these forums are brilliant and so eager to help. My work isn't finished yet but it has improved so much. Like you, I found it so difficult to imagine eating low carbs and high fat, it's not what we are conditioned to believe is it? But I feel so much better already, though I have still to find lots more food I can eat but that will come with time. I plan to be around on this forum for the long term and hope you will be too.

You have done so well in posting for the first time, like me, you realise that something needs to be done and we can both make our journey together, we are the same age so that will help also. I have found that no question is too silly to ask, everybody is so supportive (as you can see from the posts on here) and kind.

I'm touched that my thread has inspired you, thank you, that means a lot. You can do it and you will, like me there will be ups and downs, for instance leading on from my BG last night, I woke this morning to find it at 17.1 so that was a kick but I know it's reducing so am determined to see it through.

It's one of the best things I have done, joining this forum. I didn't imagine there could be this much help, as my GP's don't seem bothered. I actually joined years ago but like you, have buried my head in the sand for too long.

Look forward to seeing you around and tracking your progress, please take care xx
 

Aww Milly, there is nothing to forgive xx
 
Scottie i will definitely be sticking around, I have much to learn from you! Did you feel hungry when you were first doing low carb. I know im eating but im not satisfied. I have this empty feeling in my stomach that is telling me im hungry even when I know I can't be!
