Ramipril. Not statins I don't think

Thanks for the replies, I did mention it to the nurse on my last appointment but she was more focussed on getting me on meds and I've been feeling so ****** lately in general that I was too. I did regularly go to an osteopath and she's brilliant but I've recently started working in community...

I've been having pains running down the back of my left leg. They are sharp stabbing pains and although my sugars have been ridiculous probably for the last 4 years I'm also not sure if it could be sciatica rather than neuropathy. I rarely get the burning sensation on my feet but have now got...

Meds since yesterday so really new to them. Metformin, Dan something and the one that stops you having a heart attack or stroke from high blood pressure. I'm not happy with myself at all.

I had lots more energy when following the 800 cal blood sugar diet. Am doing badly now and am taking meds (which feels like I failed myself). I hate tablets but being on them gives me a good incentive to go back low carving and get off the meds. Also reintroduce the exercise stuff.

If you want to look into low carb/cal, then look up the blood sugar diet. It's an 800 calorie diet that is 50g carb per day. I did it for the initial 8 weeks and wasn't hungry on it. Which surprised me quite a bit.

It's really not hard to eat this way but it's very, very easy to slip down the slippery slope towards bad glucose readings again. Thanks for wishing me well. I can get it under control. I did find the blood sugar diet great but it initially takes a bit of a mindshift when you start but that...

I found it like a wake up call that means you can be proactive and take your health into your own hands. There is a huge amount of advice and debate on this site and it's brilliant. I initially did the 800 calorie blood sugar diet and quickly found that I wasn't really that hungry. It's...

Loads of things can affect it, including stress!

If you want a vegan pet, buy something that isn't a carnivore...... Not hard really. Just look at mad cow disease which happened because humans decided not to feed them their natural diet in a bid to make them more profitable. We already fiddle with nature too much imo

Absolutely fantastic. Lovely when medical people are interested in how you did what you did. They have your test results and numbers to back up the fact that it works really well and gets amazing results. I just have to follow your example and get back to doing well with my eating. Have been...

That's just so beautiful

It's good to remember that as your body becomes more efficient in utilising ketones for energy they will show up less in your blood. from 'The Ketogenic Bible' :)

Have a good fast all, I need to get better organised and get rid of all perishables so I don't end up throwing food away :D

Nice update :) Glad it's all going well and you have a good long term plan. I think that's where I feel over after doing the BS diet. Still not very carb heavy but too much protein. I have a dr appointment tomorrow after my yearly diabetic clinic results. Going to be asked to be referred to...

I meant in terms of people not knowing about it and then needing to come to this forum due to shocking advice by nutritionists and nurses that get educated on the basis of the eatwell guide.... @first14808 yes, this is one of the reasons I boycott nestle. They have appalling practises in so...

Yes, thanks for the links, very informative, the only sad thing is that most of the folk that read the links are already of the mindset that sugar is bad anyway.

Fake news and spin doesn't get any worse than that - and all because of filthy lucre

I'm interested in fasting but the majority of the time when you mention this to anyone medical they say 'it's not safe' - this is despite me probably having a least 4 stone worth of food wrapped about me :D It really does make you wonder why!

Love reading all your posts and really happy that you are eating a bit of what you fancy with no huge spike in numbers. I didn't find giving up carbs all that hard but I do have a tendency to just eat meat which is just as bad as too much carbs. I have started logging what I'm eating today so...
