Afternoon all. I have not been on here for quite a while. Life just gets in the way! But without a doubt this forum has changed my life. I was dx last june, so just over a year. I went lchf, lost 6 st in 6 months and kept it at that level since Christmas. I was also dx as under active thyroid at...

Hello all think I am being super thick but confused about konjac flour slim rice. Lots of people on here use it and I have just ordered a few, only to notice that it says 8.4 grms carbs per 100grms (half a packet). Is that right? I am sure that I read on here that it is zero carbs. Thanks all.

Hello all. I have been having a problem with my bsl for a while. I have just started an xpert course and she gave us all a new glucomen areo meter. I have been using a glucomen gm meter. Today I used both at the same time. Same drop of blood from same finger. The areo said 6.3 and the gm 8.4...

I think life is extremely unfair when one of my very overweight friends has a hbalc of 39. She eats what she wants and has a perfect bp, although her cholesterol is high. Does anyone know what percentage of obese people will never develop t2d? I know its the majority but I can't find any study...

A friend of mine went on a short t2d course last year. His tutor told him, in essence to eat what he liked but only eat smaller portions. He was not very clear about what is meant by a smaller portion but he has certainly embraced the "eat what you like" part. His wife is far more knowledgeable...

I cant wait for the 1st jan!! Get to do the annual change of the barrel on my fastclix!! Six whole new needles! Roll on 2018.

Morning all. I know we are not doctors etc. I woke up a couple of days ago to a very large numb patch on my right calf. The patch has grown and now I have a smaller patch on the left side. I did have a bit of leg ache on the right side, but that has gone. I am thinking sciatica. But there is...

Hello all. My first visit to this lovely corner of the forum. I have been reading about a possible connection between hashi and lada . I have a great deal of hypothyroidism and diabetes (1 & 2) on my mums side of the family and one of my cousins has been relabeled as lada, after several years...

I have been very lucky. I have been able to lose a lot of weight (nearly 6 stone) and my blood glucose at my last hbalc was 39. I am now in the middle of my healthy weight range. I am still diabetic, not in remission or reversal but I can live with that. I feel so much better and I am...

So,this is the first time I have been poorly since dx. I have other health problems, but this is my first virus. I am sitting here with a runny nose, headache etc and am not happy!! My bgl has been higher for the last couple of days and now its 9.3. Hasn't been that high (except when I have...

Hello all. I know that several people on here have both conditions and I need a bit of advice. I take levothyroxine and metformin. It is well known that metformin will lower the level of tsh and warnings about the interactions of both drugs are in both packets. My last blood tests showed a...

Hello all. My question is in the title. If your hbalc is ok, at non diabetic levels, does it matter if you sometimes have a high carb spike? I am sure that I have read somewhere ( now can't find it) that it is the bigger rises of over 2 that will do the most damage. Is this still the case if...

I have just seen apost from a new member who was told she was t2d by the gp receptionist. I was told in a phone call and told to make an appointment, which was for 4 weeks later. It seems to me that such a huge bit of life changing information should perhaps be given face to face, by someone...

Could someone please point me to the weekly weigh in thread? I did a search but cant find it. Am starting to think I just made it up. Many thanks.

I love theses things ( mmmmm pickles) but gave them up because they seemed to have a far few carbs and I have problems just eating one. But I have seen some pickled with sweetener instead of sugar. The carbs seem less but it doesnt say if the carb value is drained weight or not. Do any of you...

I was referred to one of these in june this year. Just been told that I " might" be able to get on one in February. My surgery, which has been no help at all, told me I would learn all I needed to know at that this course. I am really glad I found this site. If you really need the help these...

Morning all. Had my first hba1c last week after dx on 29th june. I am now at 39.0. I was 53 only 11 weeks before. Thought it would take much much longer to get down. Also lost over 20 kgs. Thankyou everyone.x

Morning all. My numbers have been in the 5s, but in the last week have been getting much higher. My diet is the same and I am still losing weight. Slowly, but its still going. I have just realised that the only thing thats changed been is exercise. Until 2 weeks ago I was walking my 10 000...

I am getting a bit fed up with cheesy sauces. I love soy but cannot have that because of an underactive thyroid. What do you all use instead of tomato sauces? Is there a good gravy/thicker sauce you use that has no flour? Am I doomed to dry dinner?

Hello all. I would like to take apple cider vinegar. Igot a bottle of braggs with the mother. It is disgusting. No matter what I mix it with it is always foul. I have seen youtube vids of people clugging this stuff back as tho its wine. Believe me, its not wine! I would like to know if anyone...
