Hi, not been on here for a while, so I hope everyone is doing well. I thought I would tell you that I have now lost 1 and 1/2 stone and I'm delighted with myself. i've never managed to loose so much im all my life even going to slimming clubs. I know without a shadow of a doubt that it's the...

Thank you Librarising, very helpful Kate

Thank you both. It really is that simple then. Kate

Hi, I have been low carbing for almost 12 weeks and seeing results. My BG readings are down, way down, I've lost almost a stone in weight, feel as if I have a bit more energy and not feeling so down as previously. My husband tells me that he sees a big difference in how I am and my...

Yes sounds good to me. I've been diabetic since 1999, but only in the last few months really had a wake up call and learning so much from this forum, and I'll continue to learn, Your Idea od a book club is good as it might encourage more folk to research/read up about and generally educate...

Yes it is swimmer, A few years ago I received a letter from my surgery saying that i was to be changed from the statin I had been on for years, Atorstatin(something like that), to simvastatin because it was a cheaper statin but just ass good. I came off statins about a month ago after reading...

Well done you :clap: yes you do need to test, to make sure you stay at the great bs level youve reached. Also if you drive it is a legal requirement that you test before driving and during a long drive. It's about cutting costs for the surgeries, nothing at all to do with you sucessfully...

Thank you both for replies, and yes I might well have to reassess what I'm eating, but I'll keep going Kate :thumbup:

I attended an appointment at the hospital to see the diabetes nurse, in this case it was two of them. and although they were a wee bit concerned that I might be going too low with BS, they listened to what I was attempting to achieve. Of course they couldn't endorse such a low carb diet, but...

well done! :clap: :thumbup: Kate

Hi Jo123, thanks for your reply, no it isn,t easy but i'm pleased to say i managed to stay on track not too badly. Sometimes it's such a thought to eat another bacon and egg breakfast though, and I found myself looking longinly at the cereal packets which is my favourite kind of breakfast. But...

WEll done you :clap: So good to read your post it inspires me especially as you have not been on the diet that long. Great stuff!! Cheers kate

Hi all, I have just returned after a weeks holiday around the Lake District and Borders of Scotland, had a lovely time but oh how difficult I found it to keep to my Low Carb eating. The world revolves around carbohydrates. I'm still really new to it all and still learning so i didn't want to...
