Thanks Lamont, will check. Cheese seems to be my 'go to' food for meals as well as snacks! Regards.

Thank you for your reply. Very interesting to see the results. Medical advice keeps changing and it now seems the thinking is that high HDL is not as good as previously thought. Regards. Atlantico

Thanks Lamont. No, I have never had insulin checked or C Pep/GAD tests. These are now top of my list. I feel that my overall cholesterol is a bit on the high side but I have such painful joints I don't want to add to it by taking Statins. I have been eating quite a lot of cheese so thought I...

Thank you Lamont, as always, very helpful. I have only had the 4 hour GTT and the radiated meal of scrambled egg on toast with the Rapid gastric emptying result. Other than that just the 3 treatments mentioned above. When I see the Endocrinologist I am going to ask him if he will check my...

Hi everyone, I have an appt with an Endocrinologist on 1 April. I was diagnosed in 2010 with Post Prandial Reactive Hypoglycaemia with lab reading of 2.1. In 2012 I was diagnosed with Rapid Gastric Emptying. I am having trouble with energy/muscle shakes followed by my thigh muscles feeling as...

I bought some Freekeh and found I can eat this with hardly any increase in my BG. As I am trying to eat LCHF and the fact that the Freekeh didn't adversley affect my BG is it okay to eat this quite high carb food as part of LCHF?

Thank you Resurgam and Kitedoc for your replies. I have been LCHF since Aug 2018 and have tried to keep my carbs around 20-30g per day and a typical day's food would be: Pre breakfast 5.1 Breakfast 2 poached eggs on slice of cheese. Black coffee. 2 hours post breakfast 5.5 Snack. 1 fat bomb Pre...

Hi, Well I went golfing on Monday having had a fried breakfast, no bread and a coffee with cream. I managed 3 holes and was so exhausted I had to come off the course. I had a good drink of water before I teed off and a drink after I finished each hole. When I got back home I had high protein...

Very pleased to hear that you are now going to get some much needed help. Please keep us updated. Thinking of you. xx

Thanks, will do. I seem to have tried all other combinations, I will let you know how I get on.

Thank you to everyone for your replies, especially Bulkbiker. I am working my way through all the information. Unfortunately I haven't been too well the last couple of days, trouble keeping my BG level. One day I can manage 1 small slice of Bergen bread and the next day I can't. If only there...

Since I started eating LCHF I have put on 3/4 stone. i am seeing my Dr on Thursday and think I may have to have a cholesterol check, If my lipid profile has gone up and I am offered statins I am nervous about taking them and wonder if anyone on here has any info, good or bad about them. Thanks.

Hello Lamont, so sorry to hear you have been in hospital, hopefully you will be back to normal very quickly. Kind regards and a virtual hug. Atlantico

You are in my thoughts, it must be awful to feel so dreadful. I keep checking your thread hoping you have got some help. I find it so sad that you can't get help NOW. I have sent you a virtual hug xx
