[QUOTE="Legfan, post: 1852606, member: 476485"] Hi, around 6 weeks ago i suspected i might have diabetes, thirsty, peeing a lot, found this forum bought a meter and tested, 14mol ! Immediately started low carbing and started going for a 3 mile jog every day, blood sugars are now around 6ish. Went to the nurse last week to have hba1c test, told her what i had been doing and she was happy but she phoned on Friday and going by my results i am type 2, have another appointment next Monday but she did say i would'nt need any meds as im doing all the right things. Now here's the puzzling bit, on Friday went out for a meal, got a nice ribeye steak, it came with chips and breaded onion rings which i was going to leave but hunger got the better of me and i scoffed the lot ! Tested before going out 6.3 dreaded the 2 hours after eating due to the chips and onion rings 5.7 ! Had actually came down, then last night went out for a beer, actually told my mates would probably be my last Sunday sesh with them due to the type 2, had about 8 pints of lager, went home, tested expecting a sky high reading it was 6 same as when i went out ! Tested this morning 5.8 my lowest ever morning reading ! So im slightly puzzled, surely 8 pints of lager should have raised sugar levels ? Does this mean if i keep the low carb eating and exercising that i can still go for a few beers ? P.s i did have pancreatitus a couple of years ago and had my gallbladder removed, not sure if thats important. [/QUOTE]
