[QUOTE="Woody83, post: 2412529, member: 544638"] I do have a lot of excess weight unfortunately, and no history of diabetes in my family apart from an auntie who has T2 and also had a stroke before she was diagnosed. Last year I lost 1.5 stones all of a sudden, and presume my blood sugars were really out of control then as I remember being very thirsty and very hot all the time, but I didn't realise it was blood sugar related. I was busy at work and thought it was that, plus I was really pleased to be losing weight and eating anything I wanted. The more I ate the more I lost weight, but deep down I think I knew what might be happening, I just didn't want to face it. I've since been on a few unsuccessful diets and taken up exercise again and it went away, so maybe I've manage to dodge it a little.. or at least lessen the effects. Fasting blood sugars 13.8 this morning (from a high of nearly 20). Low carb is going well, and I'm trying to catch what spikes my sugars, plus doing at least half an hour of exercise each evening. Mornings are the worst, I have the SuperSapiens Libre device which gives a constant glucose reading up to 200mg/dL, from 4am - 11am I am over that, so my first aim is to get that much lower. I also finger prick test a couple of times a day too. Really determined to sort this out, I'm really gutted I've let it get to this stage and I'm upset with myself as I used to be really fit and active, snowboarding, scuba diving etc.. but life gets in the way. Thanks for the support. [/QUOTE]
