@CherryAA HI Cherry I've seen quite a few of your posts and you have done really well with the weight loss and getting your bs under control. I do have concerns for you though with what you are eating all the time. I done very similar with eating bacons eggs, fatty meats and all the other high...

I really can't face eating any more fat, I'm already pretty certain I have messed up my arteries (blood pressure now above 150/90 whereas in January it was 130/80) from eating more carbs, butter and meats and nuts cheese etc to try and gain weight. I'm actually putting more fat on my stomach and...

All I can say on the matter of testing yourself is to not get too hung up on it. Record your data over a week or two but don't radically change too much as you could easily end up not consuming enough calories and it isn't the right thing to do long term. Get yourself a balanced diet that you...

Hi there, don't rush in to anything, you don't need to lose so much weight in such a short space of time believe me, I have just done it and it is not to be advised. Change things slowly over the space of a few months and don't go on any mad crash diets. Just make sure you start to get a lot...

hi littlegreycat, I am ending up having eggs for breakfast almost every day even though I don't really want to but I can't seem to have force myself to have anything different. I have also started having weetabix first thing around 7.00 am. I am forcing myself to eat all the carb stuff to...

Hi Legendary life, oh I think absolutely everything you have said is 100 per cent correct, unfortunately I think your advice might be a few weeks too late to save me from total disaster. I am about to lose everything from becoming obsessed about carbs over the last few months. Can you give me...

Had an appointment with the endocrinologist and the oral glucose tolerance test went from a fasting of 9 all the way to 19 ( yes 19) before coming back down to 7.8 I am devastated as I have been put on glicizide and obviously have full blown diabetes and they are doing more tests to see if I...

HI seagal75, Please don't put yourself on any diet that consists of bacon/egg and the same few meals as you will well and truly screw yourself. Yes you will lose the weight with ease and you will feel better than you have done in a long time (for a while). You will think you have this disease...

Yes it came back ok. Think I have given myself heart disease and stiff arteries as my blood pressure is now around 148/90 some thing that I have never had showing so high in the past. I really have messed myself up, not enough muscle left on my body to absorb the sugars from food and I'm unable...

What an absolute mess I have made of all this. Please don't anyone else ever try to get your hba1c down to good levels in a ridiculously short period as you will seriously mess yourself up. I have only been getting 2 hours of sleep for around 4 weeks now. I'm not consuming enough calories as I...

Hi all, Feel as if i've been getting worse over the last few days, sleep is worse than ever, now started waking up at around 3 in the morning and getting very anxious, also getting more pain on the sole and heel of my right foot which is starting to add to the worry as i'm getting concerned...

Hi Carol43, Can i ask where you pay for these blood tests please? i only ask as i would like to do the same as my doctor seems very reluctant to give me any more tests at the minute. Thanks

Hi Paulins, I don't have any problem losing the weight when doing low carb, i'm struggling to keep it on. I would love to carry on with the high fat part of the diet but i'm concerned about my blood pressure not coming down from 140/80 and my recurring episodes of light headedness and feeling...

Hi Brunneria, I understand all of what you are saying and I have read so much from all these websites and it makes sense. I feel i did have really good control in January and felt great for it but once the extra weight came off and then i started getting lightheaded and dizzy at times it worried...

@lindisfel is it possible to get these tests done anywhere but at the doctors surgery? he thinks i just have health anxiety but i really do think there is something else going on and he is very reluctant to give me any more tests. Again in January i felt better than i had done in years but now...
