It took about two years of eating less than 20 g of carbs a day to stop my neuropathy in my feet.

I have a pair of wraparound glasses and a wraparound full face plastic transparent visor which I use for my work of making Stained glass Mosaic. I know that people are going to laugh at me but it will definitely stop me touching my face when I am out and if somebody coughed in my direction I...

85% from the co-op is not bad. But I only allow myself one square now and again.

But it is actually 61 g/ hundred grams which means that 2/3 of it is approximately pure carbohydrate. apart from that there is another problem which will cause you to become unwell and that is that it is a grain, grains cause inflammation, inflammation makes diabetes worse. But not charity that...

I looked up the Finn crisps and it is actually showing 61 g per slice!

Personally I would never take a statin. They caused my mother to become confused and also to have very painful muscles and a week after she stopped them she was back to normal. What you also need to know is that they can put your blood sugar up and lead to diabetes which is something you...

Three years on Low carb. My neuropathy has gone away, my retinopathy has gone away, my atrial fibrillation has almost stopped and my HB A1 C has gone down by 50% or more. As for weight loss I will not go near the scales, I cannot cope with the depression that it causes me, but I never had a...

This article really shocked me and it is just one more reason why I would not touch a statin with a bargepole: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200108-the-medications-that-change-who-we-are

I would ditch the banana as it is very high carb and stick with berries in small quantities.

Skip the apple orange as they are really high carb.

The co-op’s 85% black chocolate is actually quite nice. I try to limit myself to one or two squares and certainly not every day. But I do make a fat bomb that contains 85% chocolate, coconut oil, cacao nibs and nuts

Grains, brown rice, oats and pitta bread will all increase your diabetes and will all cause inflammation in your body.

For me milk of magnesia solves the problem. For the fibre I make sauerkraut which improves the gut bacteria. And of course walking helps.

For those people who cannot afford the Libre all the time I have a suggestion. Even if your doctor will not prescribe it for you , if you just buy the first kit and use it for one month you will learn a lot. This will probably cost you just over 100 pounds but it is a learning curve and well...
