This is really good to hear. I really like eating LCHF, however after 8 weeks (not tracking calories but just carbs) I have gained 3lbs. Wearing a CGM my blood sugars have stayed in a good range. So starting exante for 8-12 weeks to give me that weight loss boost too, then back to keto/LCHF to...

I’ve been looking into these injections, may ask my GP about it.

Wow, this is such a positive start to the morning and great advice for a newly diagnosed. Type 2 can be dangerous when uncontrolled. But by learning and becoming empowered with what to do to reduce blood sugars it doesn’t have to be the end. Freedom from what may I ask? Yes, may not be able...

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I am hoping that eventually that will come down if I keep the day in check and lower. I suppose that before diagnosis I don’t even want to imagine what my numbers would have been post meals as I’m now on 20g carbs a day.

Good Morning, Any advice will be appreciated... T2 diabetic, diet controlled. Keto diet and intermittent fasting either 16:8 or omad. Diagnosed 4 weeks ago, HbAc1 of 51. I have have been using a freestyle libre CGM to monitor. Thought I would buy a couple for 6 weeks to help see what I...

Thanks for the response. I have to think that is the reason. I’ll stick to it as I don’t want to go too low calorie as I’m trying to have enough not to get hungry and want to snack, which hasn’t happened so far.

I am having 2 meals a day. Eating between 12 and 8. My fitness pal says I’m having around 2000 calories, so maybe my metabolism needs fixing. So if I stick to what I’m doing (I’m not gaining weight) then hopefully my metabolism will get better after years of very low calorie diets.

Please can you give me some tips for the weight loss part. Eating LCHF my bg is great. No spikes and nothing over 7. But weight is staying the same. Thanks x

Thank you so much for your support. This forum is amazing!!

That’s amazing! I hope I can be as successful! Well done!

Thank you. I think I’m just in that old calorie mindset. I’m worried that the cream in my coffee or the cheese with my bacon or chicken will not assist in the weight loss too. I suppose I need to trust the system? I’m fasting from 8pm till 12pm at the moment so 16/8 at the moment. Hoping to...

The food you ate to lose weight as well as control your bg please? Thanks.

Thank you so much for your reply. So overwhelmed with all the successful people on this forum. It really is an eye opener. I know what you mean about low calorie high carb, I’ve done every diet in the book and lost short term weight but stalled or put on when I was in deficit. Now reverting...

Thank you so much. This forum is amazing and the support is immense. I like your comparison to the egg or peanut allergy. My body just can’t tolerate carbs/sugar/fructose. Do you have an example of what you would eat on a day so I can compare what I’ve been having? Thank you.
