There are some nice mineral waters which are lime and lemon flavoured and I am trying to have these instead. I haven't totally kicked the habit but I have really cut down. They are basically plain mineral waters with a hint of lemon or lime essence; they are not the flavoured ones that are full of sugar.

It's true what everyone else has said. I have a bit of trouble with yeast infections and a scalp infection. Both of these are heaps worse if my blood sugar is high. High blood sugar gives these microorganisms more glucose to feed on so they multiply quickly.

Hey there, feel free to add me too. I have been diagnosed for a while but it is running away from me at the moment. It is great to read of all these people who have managed to lower their HbA1c. I take a lot of inspiration from what I have just read so thanks for sharing. :smile:

( was still worth it to have my little boy though :-) I am not on medication and have currently started working with my naturopath to try to control my situation as my blood…

Hi everyone I am new on the site (since yesterday) and it is great to find a diabetes support group. Just a word on blood sugar readings, if you are a member from Australia or New Zealand (for example) your glucose readings will be measured in different units. We need to aim for 6 as a fasting level and about 8 two hours…
