Hi I have just joined. I am 75 years old and have had type 2 for several years but I seem to have lost my way lately. I have so many questions but don’t like to bother the doctor as they are so busy. I hope someone out there can help me.

Starting a new thread will likely get more answers but my guess would be liver dump.I have also just joined. I am 71 and was told I am pre diabetic. I have been eating LCHF for couple of years. I have recently been watching videos by Dr Jason Fung and others, on fasting and am newly determined to get my blood sugars to normal. I have just tested my blood after fasting for almost 48 hours. (I was going to do a 42 fast but didn’t feel hungry so I may as well go to 48). I was so disappointed because my blood sugar was 7.7mmol (I am in the UK). Does anyone have an explanation as why this is? Dr Fung says this is normal when fasting because your body will now be releasing stored sugar. But my diet is LCHF and no sugar. Can’t find an explanation anywhere, so hoping someone here is able to help. Sorry it’s such a long question.
I just need to change my diabetes status but I can't???This thread will hopefully let us to get to know one another better and allow us to see which users we might share similarities with.
