Good point. I think the theory is to eat everything one would on LCHF but go for lower fat options. I guess that is why I'm asking the question.

After a discussion on Twitter where I celebrated the effect of LCHF on my blood sugar, it was suggested that with a lot of weight to lose, a low carb LOW fat approach may be advisable. What do others thing? Is it wise? Might it work? Is it heresy?

I have woken to possibly my highest ever B.S. at 19.1.

7.5 (though some comfort is drawn from the fact it was over 12 at this point last week) even though there is a rise from 6.7 yesterday.

Any recommendations on where to buy supplies for my Accu-Chek Performa Nano? Boots is VERY expensive and there are so many deals in eBay it's difficult to know who's reliable and offers fair prices.

Bless you and get well soon.

6.7

7.3 may sound high to many but down from 13.0 on Tuesday.

8.0 this morning (down from high of 13 on Tuesday when I started LCHF). Does warm weather affect BS levels? And, how long should it take for BS to go back to 'normal' levels?

8.8 (down from 13.0 on Tuesday and 8.9 yesterday).

*carbing*

Good Morning. I had my first low carb day yesterday and BS has gone from 13 to 8.9. Will it continue to drop significantly if I keep low carving?

Thank you both - I take metformin - but don't do low carb. I guess this is a wake up call. (If only I could feel fully awake!)

I'd appreciate some advice. My fasting blood sugar today was 12.2 and has varied between this and around 8 for the last three weeks. I've begun to feel really tired, listless and quite 'out of it'. Tonight, a lovely and warm one, I had thought about going for a ride on my bike or for a walk...

Hello Rixil - I'm not qualified to answer your T2D questions but I do hope you find the answers you are seeking. I'm a good many years older than you but I'm my youth had a lot of sweets, I guess you have been unlucky to be diagnosed at such a young age. Good luck!
