Hi Tim and welcome to the forum This is a very friendly forum and we all help each other. Have a good read around and ask as many questions as you like. I know you have been diagnosed since 18 months but perhaps you would be interested to read this information put together by the forum monitors. This information might differ from what you have been told but it has helped us to get our levels down and control our diabetes properly. I'm sure you will find it useful. Here is the link:

Hi Tim,

This is the best place to be, Ive been T2 for four years but have learnt more in the last two weeks since joining this forum than the past four years,
It lets you know your not alone, Ive ask a couple of questions on here and have had very quick replies and very good advise .......
Sue
Happy days

Hi Tim and welcome aboard.

Another endorsement for the advice to cut overall amount of carbs in the diet. I've not been doing it long but have felt much better and lost weight and seen my average fasting blood sugar levels go down.

Read lots, think about it and ask questions if you're unsure about anything. You'll be fine

Thankyou for all your greetings
I was at the Doc today and there seems to be some confusion regarding my levels drifting eraticly ! :roll: :roll:
He mentioned possibly going on to medication to stabilize my readings .
Has anyone else been stabilized for being too low?
