lol @Indy51 yes do let us know!

@SlimLizzy not sure we have the preventing course is available here but it is a great idea to fight it from that end, rather than wait for people to be diagnosed! They are slowly catching up which is great. Yes I continue the fight forever :)

Thanks @Guzzler thats great, it is how I see things, but medical profession havent given that hope to us - i guess they arent ready yet!

Thanks @DCUKMod I guess we just keep going!

thanks Richard that makes sense. I have lost about 7" from my waist but still need to get rid of another inch or 2, which seems rather stubborn! I will have to look at I.F., but I tend to feel dizzy if I dont eat, so I have been putting it off so far

thanks Rachox, yes thats a good way to see it, this is all a relatively new way of dealing with T2. That helps me see it more clearly thanks and well done on your numbers!

Our local GP has recently added a diabetic dietician service, which is great news and a good step forward. I saw her about 3 weeks ago and she wanted to know how I had got my hba1c down from 93 to 31 - 33, which she said was "fantastic". When I told her low carb I could see a veil coming down...

Hi, I cant find an answer to this question so hope you can help - my Hba1c started at 93 almost 2 years ago, but I followed a low carb diet from day 1, so it went down quickly to 31-35 and stays around that level. I keep hearing diabetes is "progressive", but if I stay in remission, eating low...

thanks for that - Im having aubergine, courgette, red and green pepper and carrots (for hubby I just have 1 bit of carrot). I sometimes add asparagus for the last 15 mins but i dont have any today. with that we are having high meat content sausage - i cant wait!

thanks Rab, well ive had nothing since breakfast today and not eating till about 730 tonight (roast veg) so I will see if that counts - maybe not! I will for sure try this as I need to kick start my weight loss again thanks

lol that is a very good question to which I have no good answer! I guess the word "fasting" reminds me of diets I would go in in my youth where I would be starving for days - I just havent looked into IF so I need to understand it - it is on my radar now thanks for asking which has given me a push!

hi, I am keeping IF as a last resort - if I dont eat something within a certain time frame it makes me really dizzy/sick. However I havent looked at the full info online so will do that thank you

any weight off is great - keep at it! I was reading recently that too much protein can also store as sugar if you eat too much? My protein consumption is probably very high as my go-to's when I am stuck for a meal or snack are olives, cheese, eggs etc. So, I am trying to re-think my diet now -...

thanks for that and good luck!

thanks for that! I agree, and I cant imagine a time when I wont be careful now. I just hope I caught it early enough that I can avoid complications
