weight loss

Hi all, in a previous post I mentioned that I’ve been experiencing some hair loss as I’ve got into my keto diet. I’ve lost a fair bit of weight and I put it down to that but I had bloods done to check for deficiencies. Most of the numbers came up pretty normal - except for Vitamin D and Zinc...

Hi, I am losing weight and its probably because my blood sugar are high, I have called 111 and they told me that if you're on insulin then you need to inject and recheck your levels, which I did and I was still high, then I was told the dr would call, and the dr called and told me that I will be...

Eran Sagal in a TEDx talk shares his research study on 1,000 (healthy) people over 1 week. Although this is from July 2016 I had never seen it before, but it matches with the collective experience of us T2 Diabetics - that there is no single best diet for everybody.

Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure everything out When I eat, blood sugar goes up, its suppose to come down 2 hours later but mine will keep rising, and even till the next morning. I'm not sure what to do anymore, even without carbohydrates I can still be high throughout the day, I'm not...

Hello! I’ve always had really good control of my blood sugars and a good Hba1c. But now I’m trying to lose weight I notice my sugars going low overnight or in the morning. I reduced my basal insulin (Trisiba) but am hesitant to reduce it more because of noticing my levels being a bit higher...

Hi guys, I have been researching the internet for too long now and I can only seem to find helpful information for type 2's and not type 1's! I have recently bought some meal replacement shakes from Nutribuddy, they taste lovely (unlike some shakes my partner has used in the past) and keep me...

Hi all! So I was warned this would happen. I have PCOS and should have been taking better care of myself. Over the last week I've noticed I'm having a lot of type 2 symptoms. Needing the loo constantly. Always thirsty, numbness in fingers and feet/ankles. Blurred vision. I started taking my...

Hello! I was diagnosed with T1 just before my 21st birthday back in October 2012. Until diagnosis, I'd always been very slim - on the underweight/healthy BMI borderline. I actually went many months with undiagnosed diabetes, and I assumed I was just losing weight because I was stressed about...

Hello all, I am a 59 year old male and was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in Sept 2014. I was put on Metformin and HbA1c went down to 62 to 65, but not further. After diagnosis I was eating a healthy diet, no more fizzy drinks, lots of fruit and veg, few sweets, but I like pasta, potatoes and...

Back in October 2017 my life was in crisis. I had constant brain fog, memory lapses several times a day, ( not sure how I continued to work ), feet hurting like hell and a thumb infection that would not go away even after 2 lots of antibiotics. I thought I had dementia so the T2 diabetes...

An interesting article from CNN... https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/26/health/intermittent-fasting-jared-sklar-wellness-live-longer/index.html Could have been sponsored by Dr Fung (but wasn't).

So I finally got a sort of diagnosis. I have gastroparesis, and it's "borderline" So basically my food isn't digesting as fast as it's supposed too. So when the food finally reaches my stomach that's when the sugars spike. At 4 in the morning my blood sugar was 18.0 and when the nurse finally...

Hi Everyone, I want to switch to Keto diet. I have done a fair bit of research into what I should eat what I shouldn't eat, meal prep, macros etc.. What I am really looking to find out is how people managed there insulin intake when switching to this, did regular hypos occur when doing this? I...
