Saur, maybe you are over anxious about your (excellent) results, which the WHO regard as pre-diabetic. 48 is the point at which it considers diabetes to be out of control. Keep on with the controlled diet. My own HbA1c was 66 mm/m three months ago (out of control), and was down to 41mm/m...

I use Trulicity 1.5 mg once a week, injected into the side of the thigh, and have no adverse reactions. Hope this is helpful.

Macular degeneration affects the central part of the retina, the macular, and resulting in distortion and loss of central vision. I have some macular degenration (seen as red blood spots on the back of my eye, at my last annual hospital eye test, as well as the afore mentioned cataract, however...

One of the negatives of diabetes is the adverse effects it has on eye sight. My diabetes was so unhelpful, that the focus of my eyes varied daily, such that I had an ice cream container filled with cheap pairs of spectacles to allow me to pick a pair for use each day. My eyesight was also...

I have been following the Low Carb Hi fat diet for 488 days and after a successful Diabetic review yesterday, I have a cholesterol of 4.2 and an HbA1c of 48 (being the WHO recommended diagnostic cut off point for Diabetes). In this time I have stopped Juvancita and Gliclazide. Brought my BP...

As T2, I successfully overcame the need for prescribed Gliclazide, as well as reducing my Metformin by half, by reducing my daily carbs to 30 gm a day. The biggest "downside"I found to Gliclazide (verified by my GP), was its side effect of increasing weight, which took me up to a BMI of 41...

"In Case of Emergency" identification and personal details form (Remember the only stupid question, is the one you didn't ask, so never be afraid to ask for clarification if something is unknown to you!)

I do not wear an ID, but I do carry an "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) form in the see-thru folder of my wallet, showing my ailments, Meds, Next of kin, and GP. Every one who sees it thinks "What a brill idea! I am going to do the same!"

Like you Sandwalk, I had a hip replaced in Oct 2014 which with my oedema legs and feet made walking or exercising moot. Since the improvements to my health using LCHF, I have joined walking groups in my local area. They are sponsored by the local council and mine can be found at...

68 Y old male here Sandwalk! Well done on your excellent success, Similar to you I stick to a 600 - 800 calories a day, to maintain my weight loss. I started LCHF in May 2016, and have made superb improvements in body and mind, Apart from my diet, I now walk with a wellness group 3 days a week...

On Thursday last, I attended my local surgery to hear a talk from the Diabetes Tutor. I learnt nothing more than the (to me) unhelpful unspecific"pap" that was doled out at the DESMOND course I attended, Not a mention was made about LCHF by any of the speakers, and though I raised the subject...

Having raised the question of itchy legs here, I am back to report my findings. I did not have any Piriton, but substituted a cheap Asda Hayfever 1-a-day tablet containing LORATIDINE, I accompanied this with a water only hot bath with no soaps or shampoos and a clean flannel, then followed up...

Not taking Ibuprofen, but all the other suggestions will certainly get me trialling each suggestion, so thank you all for your experiences / guidance.

because I had not changed anything, I have not considered that a big softee like me thoroughly loves bubble bath etc. I will try water only showers with a rough flannel for a time to see if there is any relief. Thanks for the possible remedy.
