5.7 this sunny morning. T2 can be genetically caused, some medications eg steroids increase your risk, ethnic background can also make a difference and increase your risk of T2 diabetes. So is not just diet and exercise like some people think.
 
Morning. 5.2 this morning.

Dont anyone dare try and insinuate I caused my own diabetes.

My dn asked "are you surprised you have diabetes now? It can't have been a surprise." Wasn't sure how to respond to that :(
 
5.9 again! Food I haven't been eating anything different. Have been doing a bit more testing and 5.4 before both lunch and dinner and only normal rise after an hour,
 
When I was diagnosed the reaction of the practice nurse whee I work was "you? You cant be"
 
4.8 this am happy with that. Dull here in Glasgow this morning. Still waiting on summer. Steroid induced diabetes. Hope all have a good day.
 
Another weird day for me yesterday - spiked up to 9 again after breakfast (same breakfast I've been having for months with no spike) and a headache all day: don't know if the headache caused the increased bs or the other way round. Decided enough was enough and avoided carbs for the rest of the day to get things under control, which seemed to work.

This morning was 4.7 and no headache so hoping for a better day. I guess it's possible my recent better tolerance to carbs could be on the wane so I'll monitor carefully and adjust accordingly :)
 
Morning all 7.3 this sunny morn and a head ache ..livers playing silly buggers again :(

My former GP, who kept me for many months as "pre-diabetic" without any health advice except "you must lose weight", never forgot to say "you know you'll end up diabetic" regardless of what I was there with :-/
