Thank you Librarising, very helpful Kate

Thank you both. It really is that simple then. Kate

Hi, I have been low carbing for almost 12 weeks and seeing results. My BG readings are down, way down, I've lost almost a stone in weight, feel as if I have a bit more energy and not feeling so down as previously. My husband tells me that he sees a big difference in how I am and my...

Yes sounds good to me. I've been diabetic since 1999, but only in the last few months really had a wake up call and learning so much from this forum, and I'll continue to learn, Your Idea od a book club is good as it might encourage more folk to research/read up about and generally educate...

Yes it is swimmer, A few years ago I received a letter from my surgery saying that i was to be changed from the statin I had been on for years, Atorstatin(something like that), to simvastatin because it was a cheaper statin but just ass good. I came off statins about a month ago after reading...

Well done you :clap: yes you do need to test, to make sure you stay at the great bs level youve reached. Also if you drive it is a legal requirement that you test before driving and during a long drive. It's about cutting costs for the surgeries, nothing at all to do with you sucessfully...

I so enjoyed this, took me right back to when I thought I was a hippy kate

I watched this last night, even missed Corrie for it. I was hughly amused and not more than alittle touched by Simon's recollections of the humiliation he experienced at school which he thinks led him on to the comfort eating. However, I didn't want to make judgements as these guys are not...

Thank you both for replies, and yes I might well have to reassess what I'm eating, but I'll keep going Kate :thumbup:

I attended an appointment at the hospital to see the diabetes nurse, in this case it was two of them. and although they were a wee bit concerned that I might be going too low with BS, they listened to what I was attempting to achieve. Of course they couldn't endorse such a low carb diet, but...

well done! :clap: :thumbup: Kate

Hi Jo123, thanks for your reply, no it isn,t easy but i'm pleased to say i managed to stay on track not too badly. Sometimes it's such a thought to eat another bacon and egg breakfast though, and I found myself looking longinly at the cereal packets which is my favourite kind of breakfast. But...

WEll done you :clap: So good to read your post it inspires me especially as you have not been on the diet that long. Great stuff!! Cheers kate

Hi all, I have just returned after a weeks holiday around the Lake District and Borders of Scotland, had a lovely time but oh how difficult I found it to keep to my Low Carb eating. The world revolves around carbohydrates. I'm still really new to it all and still learning so i didn't want to...

Scardoc, I do agree with much you have said.. I think I am just so horrified by all the lies being told to usby politicians, bankers, media, you name it they'r all lying. I am somewhat of a conspirital theorist I admit, but it is difficult not to get angry and frustrated by all the...

Well Done on your weight loss :clap: and good luck with whatever treatment you have......maybe not much if you cobtinue like this :thumbup: Kate

OMG!, although I have been diagonsed since 1999, i now realise how uneducated i've been all these years about the condition and have learned more in the few short weeks from this forum than I ever did from DUK, GP, clinic at local hospital. This is such a valuable site. Even your explanation of...

Welcome to the forum stueys! yes your right so many pitfalls for diabetics, all the food that is branded healthy and really isn't so you have to be careful. However you have found this site and there is masses of info here and some very knowledgable folk who will give you some guideance on...

Thank you both for replying, and sorry not to have replied sooner. I have taken your advice on board and reduced my insulin and hoping that will make the difference. Don't worry CarbsRoc, I always test before driving anyway, but thanks for the reminder. Because I am in the process of change at...
