[QUOTE="radmm0, post: 2303324, member: 529811"] Hi Becky I've only just joined the forum. I don't think we should underestimate the positive impact of regular activity/exercise on T2D, as well as a low carb healthy diet. I've been T2D for 8 years with a daily 4 x Metformin tablets, which were helping until a year ago, when the GP added one daily 25mg Sitagliptin tablet to stabilise my T2D. I was made redundant in January & unfortunately due to Covid19 haven't been able to find another job, so I've been stuck at home for the past 9 months - eating, snacking & not much walking or exercise. This resulted in my last HbA1c test in March being 98 & a repeat a month later showing 113. Prior to the recent upsurge in my T2D levels I had managed to keep my HbA1c between 55 and 70 with the 4 Metformins & regular walking. The recent very high readings resulted in my GP referring me to a Diabetic Clinician & a Dietitian to try to help me to better control my T2D. The Clinician has increased my 25mg Sitaglipin to a daily 100mg instead and he's sent me a blood test kit to record my blood sugar level BEFORE breakfast & evening meals, i.e. two readings. The Clinician will be calling me on 16th Sept to get the readings and will then decide whether I should go on Insulin or not, which I'm desperate to avoid. So, I decided to get myself sorted out & started going to the gym (when they re-opened), regular brisk walking & watching what I eat (especially fruit, which I can't get enough of normally!). I can already see a slight reduction in the daily readings, so I'm hoping to avoid being put on insulin by continuing with the new exercise regime & reduced fruit intake. Any other hints & tips would be much appreciated. Rgds. radmm0 [/QUOTE]
