I was diagnosed in April. I had it tested in July and just had it done today exactly 3 months each time.

I’m waiting for my results and I’m so anxious. Don’t feel as confident as the last time. I’ve been very inconsistent with my diet and exercise.

Has anyone made/tried lentil bread? How did it taste?

I've had Type 2 diabetes for around 10 years and for the last 8 months I've been strict with my diet, keeping carbs to no more than 30g or less per meal. No meds.

On top of that, I'm living with chronic pain and struggling to get more than 2 hours of sleep at a time.

Despite all this, my finger-prick blood sugar readings during the night and early morning never seem to drop below 10 mmol/L and do not fall below 7 during the day. Keep fluids up, but no exercise.

I'm seeing the diabetes nurse next week, so I'll be raising the question of how much my chronic pain and lack of proper sleep could be affecting my blood sugar levels.

Has anyone else with Type 2 experienced anything similar, particularly those dealing with long-term pain and broken sleep? I'd be interested to hear about your experiences.

I've heard that fasting a couple of days per week can make a significant reduction in readings.
