Hugs for the lack of sleep!
Hugs for the lack of sleep!6.3 Monday morning after about 3 hours' sleep, so not really FBG.
thanks dunelm xGood morning folks. We had a visitor last night. My sister in law is a foster carer and we had her little charge over for the night to give her a bit of respite. What fun.
Anyhow, a 5.7 on the treadmill of bewilderment and fascination at 0800 this morning.
Decorators have arrived to paint the woodwork at the front of the house.
@karen8967 enjoy your last day at work and all the best with the new one.
Have a great day if you can and remember, the word “swims” is still “swims” even if its upside down.
I think you have great attitude and a very realistic approach to this whole thing. I have a "cured" sticker on my notes too .... doesn't mean a thing, well maybe it gives them a sense of something ....... My very best thoughts to you !@OrsonKartt the ‘best diabetic dietician’ genuinely was that. She apologised for it taking 6 months for an appointment and has said the problem with that is that she has nothing to tell me as my last Hba1c was so good. We spoke in depth about low carb - if I’d seen her straight after diagnosis she would have advised low carb. She discussed that some people find it hard to maintain long term and so to bare in mind that if I were to gain weight and go back to eating what I did before my numbers would most likely go back up. She spent the appointment just singing my praises and saying I was a success story - which feels a little fraudulent to be honest. Maybe if I can keep these levels for the next 10yrs I’ll accept that statement.
She did rather alarmingly say my doctor has written on my notes - diabetes cured!! She stressed this wasn’t the case, and that it would be diabetes in remission as is only down to this way of eating. I’m even dubious to class it as remission after only 1 blood test since diagnosis. My next one is due end of this month and then she said they’ll likely go to 18month bloods just to monitor. Concerned now as I get discount at my local gym as ticked the box as health condition where exercise helps - which is what my doctor told me to do in the beginning!! Now he’s written cured all over my notes if they check on me will I be in trouble?! Going to book an apppintment with my GP for after my next bloods to tell him he’s a fool and that I don’t want cured stated on my file!
Please don't tell him he is a fool idiot is a far better description.Going to book an apppintment with my GP for after my next bloods to tell him he’s a fool and that I don’t want cured stated on my file!
4.9 this Monday morning. I have an appointment today with ‘the most amazing diabetic dietician’. I’ve had to wait 6 months (since diagnosis) got the appointment as she’s that in demand. Will be interesting to see what wonderful advice she is going to bestow upon me
Hello there. You raise some goods points including the key issue of the carbs v. fats balance in a healthy diet.An Interesting read, @Debandez
It sort of firms up my personal belief that all the previous date re heart issues is more related to the raised sugar then the intake of fats.
The risk to diabetics (most but not all, most likely ) is more pronounced as we continued previously to carry on supplying ourselves with endless carbs on the EATWELL plate...and it's those SUGARS not the fats which raise our risks.
Raising our fats intake AND reducing the carbs....
now THOSE are the figures I'd be interested in seeing.
I'd be most interested to see the heart data for THAT.. among those practicing LCHF over the last FEW AND next few years
My money is on the data being similar to NON Diabetics In the general population.
My cholesterol went high in 2011. 7.9
Was lower in aug 2018 5.4.(1st DX)
higher in Oct 2019 5.6 (month + of EATWELL ). And since dropped to 5.3 jan 2019 . And other lipids trig's etc improved.
I hope and expect (plus a small prayer) similar improvements next HBA1c blood check

No such thing as a Free Lunch..So "JUST SAY NO ! " folks.

Police are conducting inquiries, due to the abhorrent nature of the crime,
but due to the recent plumbing issues at police HQ toilets, they have nothing to go on.
