Anyone know how to counter this for a Type II on no medication........

Thanks....am on solid foods now, although very small portions, still have trouble getting enough protein in, and Greek yogurt is my stand-by, as well as some of the Atkins products that I’d been using on the LCHF. Now 8 weeks post-operation and slowly getting back to normal. I’d not been able to...

Indeed ! I’ll check thanks

Thanks !

I was soooo impatient when I started....keep at it and I’m sure it’ll all kick in properly soon ! Just had my yearly HBA1C....down from 70 to 37 !!! The hard work is worth it !

I think it's all a matter of what words you want to use. Just over a year ago I was diagnosed with T2. I've managed it using the LCHF diet that everyone goes on about. When I started last May I was 17 stone and had an HBA1C of 70, I'm now just under 13 stone and have today got my latest test...

Latest official HBA1C: ......37 - thrilled ! That's a drop of 33 in a year !!!!!

Did you order over the counter? I've been on both Boots' and Superdrug's websites and they don't admit to stocking them ! am panicking as Abbott's website is limiting me to two every 25 days (and that might change !) what might be the alternative options if they are no longer available !

Interesting that many healthcare professionals think of carbs as foods for energy, brains and muscles etc.....I've just undergone an oesophogectomy and so now have a stupidly small stomach in the shape of a tube (the wonders of modern science!) and my nutritionist is telling me to eat PROTEIN...

thanks - will try !

they gave me some at the hospital but I can't remember what brand they were !:banghead:

thanks !

thanks - tried skyr once before and couldn't take the taste - but I shall try again as the protein looks good !

thanks so much !!!
