[QUOTE="Swiggy, post: 2031973, member: 374098"] Hi All, my fasting level was 7.2 this morning and I had a cup of Nescafe with 50ml double cream. 2 hours later I have gone up to 10mmol. My hbA1c in 2015 was 143, a blood test in 2013 showed that I was diabetic but my GP at the time didn't tell me. I'm type 2 and I have never taken any medication for diabetes. I had pancreatitis at the age of 10 and in 2017 I was investigated for gall stones as I became jaundiced (shortly after starting Newcastle diet) and my liver enzymes were totally deranged. HbA1c at this point was 88. Everything resolved within a week without any treatment but they never found the cause. I had a scan and I don't have a fatty liver. I am seventeen stone though so there's plenty of weight to lose. At this point I cut carbs dramatically, tested before and after meals and cut out anything that gave me a rise of more than 2 mmol. My last hbA1c in October 2018 was 61 and I'm due to have another test next month. GP suggested metformin and a weekly injection because I need to lose weight but I have refused. I have lost 2kg since I had my liver scan and I'm starting to despair. Since starting to use mySugr app in January I have had two readings above 10 and one reading of 5.8, the rest have all been between 6.0 and 9.0. App estimates hbA1c will be 6.9%. I feel well, rarely hungry and sticking to coffee and cream at breakfast, an OXO in hot water at lunchtime and dinner between 6 and 7pm. Has anybody got any advice about what I should do next and us there anything that I should ask GP to test for in May? [/QUOTE]
