What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

It's under your name. You might need to go into your settings. I see it on my mobile. Does nobody else?
nope.

i see this
No meds, Low Carb Diet and exercise. With the help of these forums, family and friends.

not sure if MC changed recently, thought
 
From DUK!!!

OR reduce the chocolates Muffins AND fruit,
for an even better way to reduce your Blood sugars.

it's not rocket science is it.

Never overestimate the stupidity of some people.
MUST be on a wall of their office somewhere,
i'm convinced.
 

Oh I think I will just pop on DUK and request just that. They are going to love me!!!
 
I would rather poke both my eyes out with red hot pokers! Very VERY funny post
 
Ate they actively discouraging us so they can make money, vast amounts, for longer
That's something I have wondered about many of the HCP's I've encountered Debs...it's not something I would target solely at DUK...for example the dire DESMOND courses which provide little apart from confusion in the most patronising condescending way...those 'educators' have to be paid...once when perusing the internet I saw an ad for training to become an instructor it's expensive so the 'investment' must be worth however the rewards are plentiful...as for GP practices refunding money to the NHS I can't see that happening willingly Dr Unwin seems the exception...many of these HCP's services are privately run... our GP surgeries are private partnerships the NHS is their biggest contractor...I believe there is a culpability culture with T2 (and certain other conditions) after all it is our own fault...we are all sloth like overweight ignorant/apathetic creatures who thoroughly deserve to develop T2 diabetes...they take no account of any familial connection...no genetic pre-disposition we are regularly slated in the press & presented as the likely cause of impending NHS bankruptcy...as I have said so often there is a lot of money in the mismanagement of T2 (and other health condition)...could you imagine those poor CCG members not able to draw their often six figure salaries...our GP's who do work hard but are well rewarded I know my own GP was on roughly 120k a year...of course there is the added benefit of being self employed i.e tax advantages...so it's a number of issues we need to tackle...the most important one being adequate trials of alternative diets & management of T2...but most importantly getting them (whoever that may be) to listen to us...ask us what we need because no one knows our diabetes as we do.
 
Soprano here. Let's start a virtual choir. We have time don't we!!!
Digital music then!

I promised to keep all updated on my very low carb breakfasts, so far not good.

Today Cottage Cheese , smoked salmon, a bit of scrambled egg from my good ladies plate, yoghurt and rasp. ALL small portions.

5.5 on getting up 7.3 after breakfast

Yesterday

Scrambled eggs smoked salmon yoghurt and rasp.

5.3 on getting up 6 after breakfast

So next step cut down portion size even more
 
that predicts T2 among others 10 years before it appears
Some have T2 many years before they are diagnosed jjraak...I had all the signs years before my 'accidental' diagnosis many years ago if only I'd known it.
 
Made it! Up to date!



Treating you all with shortest post ever from me.

4.8! ***! Retest 5.1. Ok I'm very happy.
Holiday hair and nails at 11.30.

Tone deaf Cockney here so I'll stand at the back thank you.

i'd say i'm more " dog with his tail caught in the door"
so i'm IN.

jjraak it's been such a miserable few weeks for me ( Plumpy) that is the first thing that's made me laugh out loud...perhaps it could be our anthem.
