low carb

Hi I am 23 Years old and have Type 1 diabetes. I have had diabetes for nearly 4 years. I am desperate to lose weight and have noticed since being diagnosed as Diabetic I find it hard to lose weight (I also have a underactive thyroid). I have trued losing weight previously but want to try losing...

Hello, was anyone else invited to be apart of the "Type 1 Program"? The last email I received from the team on 8/11/2018 stating that access to the digital platform would be available mid-December? I've sent a query to diabetes.co.uk a couple of weeks ago but I have had no reply. Anyone...

Not necessarily, no... There have been media stories recently about how beef production causes carbon emissions, like section 7 on this page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46384067 where it says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change "says we need to: buy less meat...

Has anyone tried this Low-carb ketchup recipe? https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/ketchup Any other suitable alternatives? I still find bacon and eggs could do with ketchup after 5 months doing Keto. I've been feeling deprived! Many thanks...

Well, not really 'permission' as I don't need it, want it or looked for it. But I suppose I've kind of got it now :angelic: My diabetes consultation last week was a surprise to me. I was all set to argue how well low carb/keto was working for me and how fasting from breakfast to dinner also...

It was refreshing to watch 2 heavy weights discuss sensibly topics concerning diametrically opposed positions. No insults or cheap shots. I / possibly we, need more of this, as there is much which can be learned by having both low carb / keto / carnivore and vegan experts state their cases...

The holiday season is here. Decided I want to dig out the molds and make Springerle cookies this year. The regular ones need time to fully develop their flavor so I would make them weeks in advance, like now. When searching, I couldn’t find any low carb versions. Before I ruin a few batches...

I have read such mixed reviews about whether a high fat low carb diet is beneficial for type 1! I am already putting on weight after 4 days of taking insulin and don’t want to put on any more. Has any one got any advice on what diet to go on?

Fellow Low-Carbers, what do you do if you get a cold/sore throat and require a cough sweet, please? Thanks in advance...

Hi All! Just got my latest results back at 6.8 (in Canada) so was quite pleased (last one was 6.6) as the summer is always harder for me to keep things under control with our anniversary, birthdays and such an awfully hot one this year!! Also just finished having two cataract surgeries and now...

so on Friday I was at the hospital to ask about getting a libra and they had the results of my genetic tests and I don't have type one after all. so I have come off insulin, now I have been taken very small doses and have a low carb diet, they have changed me onto diamicron. Today was the first...

It's absolute **** to be honest... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45195474

SUMMARY: T1 for 30 years with insulin resistance. Recently started on metformin. Low carb the only carbs coming from veg (very rarely including potato). How do you count carbs? This may seem like a pretty dumb question considering I've been type 1 for past 30 years and have always...

Diagnosed almost a year ago. Switched to a low carb diet and started hitting the gym pretty hard. I've gained weight but lost body fat which I think is ok? My first A1C dropped drastically with diet and exercise after the months but after six it shot way up (no changes to diet or exercise). I'm...

It's my husband and not me. I want to help him especially as he has been my rock over the last 6 months. He is already on 5mg ramopril once a day but doesn't want it to go up. He weighs 14 stone 13 and is 5 feet 11. Apparently according to Google that's 3 stone over weight! So he is joining me...

Does anyone know if there is any truth in an article written by David Mendosa stating that Chana Dal does not spike BG and can therefore be included in a low carb diet? Is there any evidence for this? Before starting the low carb diet I used a fair amount of lentils and pulses so if that is the...

https://health.spectator.co.uk/the-bbc-is-promoting-carbohydrate-hysteria/ It would be interesting to see other people's opinion of this joker........no qualifications in anything other than a degree in history, but feels he's expertly qualified to spout his drivel at us all. All anecdotal, no...

Hi, I've just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I'm trying to get over the initial shock and have decided to try and up the exercise and go low carb. I'm also vegetarian and I'm finding it a bit hard to get enough to not feel hungry all the time. One of my worries is that I work 13 hour...

Hi, I'm going to ramble a bit, sorry. It's all very new to me. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on Friday. It was a bit of a shock and a bit upsetting, since I've been losing weight (due to being more active) and just started trying to look after my health better. I had been checking my...
