7.6 this morning. I never get much lower than this. I have self funded Libra 2 my last HBA1C was 75% gone up from 68% 6 months ago. Dr considering putting me on insulin injections. I'm 78 and weigh 12st 10lbs. I've lost 7lbs recently I walk between 7000 and 8000 steps most days and I'm reasonably fit and well. I've been vegetarian for 30 years so low carb isn't easy. I know I have to control my eating habits better but I'm struggling. Any help from anyone in similar situation would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi -

Dealing with this thing isn’t easy.

During different stages of my life I’ve been both vegetarian and vegan.

On diagnosis it was not an easy step to going back to eating meat. That was 7 years ago

I manage to stay under diabetic levels by doing this so for me it’s healthier

I wish you well in your decisions

Welcome to this FBG thread @Pambo123. We're pleased you could join us. Congratulations on losing 7 lbs. You've made a great start.

A low-carb-healthy-fat lifestyle is the best way to keep blood glucose and weight in check. I really enjoy my food, it must be said, and seldom feel the need to deviate from my LCHF way of eating these days.

Once again, welcome.

Morning all. @DEBBIESCOTT, so sorry to hear of your loss. Take care of yourself and hope you soon feel better. We are all thinking of you.
8.3 for me. There must be something in the water @Estragon.

Thank you

6.7 this morning, not bad for me.
@DEBBIESCOTT so sorry to hear of your bad news and situation. Life does deal us some difficult hands at times but there will always be better times ahead, just doesn’t always seem that way. Take care.

Thank you

6.0 this morning, not an early one due to a lazy lie in, yet another bad habit.

Do you find that they are worse than other nuts ?

Well I think they are all bad for me to be honest. Red skins seem to be the worse but I have cut all of them out now
