    November 2021 my HgbA1c was 7.2. In January 2022 I saw a KZread video from Beat Diabetes followed by one from Dr Ken Berry. I decided then to adopt a very low carb way of eating. By September my HgbA1c was 5.3 and I had reduced Metformin ER from 2000mg to 500mg. I had also stopped my weekly Trulicity 1.5mg injections. Of course I was checking my blood sugar before and after meals as well as fasting so I knew I could safely taper my meds. I am now off all meds and my last HgbA1c in January 2023 was 5.2

    Amazing!! You have reversed and fought diabetes succesfully, good for you! I hope and wish my numbers will be lower as i am doing the best i can nowadays, its a struggle but we should choose health over the struggles. Worst for me is avoiding rice 😭 im an asian, that means rice is everywhere and always on the table. Soooo difficult to resist.

That is supposed to do something to the resistant starch so you can eat it. You may want to try it and keep track of your glucose just to see if it will work. One of these days I am going to try it. Best of luck to you.

    I dropped my AIC from 11.4 to 5.1 and lost 132 lbs in the process of turning my T2D around. I did this in under a year and have maintained this healthy lifestyle for 20 months. I know many say they’ve reversed their T2D but I prefer to say it’s in remission because I know that if I don’t stay on top of my T2D it can come roaring back again and I never want to live that way again.

    I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes April 12, 2023. My A1c was 8.5. I’ve made some changes in my eating habits which includes laying off sodas and snacks as well as a thirty minute walk after dinner . I also take 500 ml of metforrmin. My numbers are usually in the 80s or 90s, but rarely go past 111. Of course these numbers are usually a fasting number in the morning and a closing number in the evening. Even when I was doing a midday measurement, my numbers mostly stayed within this range. I suppose this is progress, but I’m still early in this new journey and still have lots to learn.

    I was diagnosed a year ago last April, I was at 93 mmol. Prescribed metformin starting low and increasing to the max. I was also diagnosed with haemochromatosis. Now off all diabetes meds, just on ramipril and simvastatin for blood pressure and cholesterol. My latest A1c was 42 mmol without meds, however I have managed this without any support team, the doctor who diagnosed me left and there is no permanent replacement, only locums. No dietician, no endocrinologist, no training offered, just two URLs to look at. The diabetes nurse didn't give me any target figures, just said I had no need to test, it seems the NHS thinks that an annual A1c test is all that is needed. I wasn't happy with that and bought a glucometer and once they stopped my metformin I decided to spend more money on a CGM to teach myself what I can and shouldn't eat. An expensive decision but I seem to have my type 2 diabetes under control, for now anyway. I do feel thathere in the country in the UK there isn't enough support and am so glad that Facebook groups and KZread exist, as long as you can pick out the good info. from the bad you can educate yourself and keep on top of things.

My confusion is, when we fast, our blood sugar max is 99/100 but after meals our blood sugar max is 140 after 1 or 2 hous. It To me, that is over than 40 because of the food we eat but does that means that within 1 or 2 hours our blood has too much (over 40 mg/dl) if we set that fasting normal blood is 100? sorry for the confusion but I am curious between these two conditions whether before meals or after meals.

    Thank you . Just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I’ve been so confused. Just today asked for an appointment for a nutritionist. I’m checking my blood in the morning and ranging about 119 to 126. One day I had 140. What do you do if you’re too high??? Thank you so much to help clear up so much confusion.

That has evolved into becoming his in-home care-provider. I am new to the daily+ testing for the glucose levels. Question. Do I turn-on the little Monitor before I insert the test-strip? or, does it turn-on automatically upon the insertion of the test-strip? Thank You, SharonZ WA

    I would discuss this with your doctor. It could mean you have insulin resistance/prediabetes and they can do blood work to check for this. Was it recommended previously that you check your blood sugar after eating? The rapid drop could also be a sign you might benefit from working with a dietitian to stabilize blood sugar levels so you feel better after meals as well :)

As long as you look at the average trend of blood sugar over time and see it is staying within normal ranges, I wouldn't worry too much.
