Hi,
Type 2 diagnosed late Feb, reading the wealth of information on here certainly much more useful than the NHS nurse who sent me away with metformin script and told me to keep eating my healthy rice and potatoes :|
Removed virtually all carbs from diet and levels have dropped to an average of 6.2 (last 14 days) was in the teens when diagnosed.
The only issue I'm having so far is with weight training, as was competing in over 40's amateur strongman. Will need to experiment with some carbs around workouts as the gym is a real struggle at the moment. However, if I have to put that on hold for a bit to get the chub off and get the BS stabilised then that's what I'll do.
Would have felt lost if it wasn't for this forum/website, so kudos to the admins and contributors. x
