Hey, During lockdown was diagnosed with TYPE 2 diabetes and managed to get this under control using diet alone sticking to low carb and testing. I started a new job a few months back and this approach went right out of the window and went back to mainly eating what I like and didn't order test...

Yeah 12 hour fast, been low carb since diagnosis and tests since then have had my levels around 8.4 Doc said 4 is the healthy level.

Just had recent blood tests done and received the following letter. Many thanks for coming up for your blood tests. I am waiting for some of the more specialised endocrine blood tests but we discussed your cholesterol and I would like you to know this is still quite raised at 8.6 with a hadl...

When you make the switch to very low carb is this a common side effect ? been getting terrible cramp in my calves and ankles with restless legs when in bed at night and a lot of urination... peeing constantly.. soon as i've been to the toilet i feel like i need to go again.

Thanks guys, IS NAFLD damage reversible or just maintainable once it has progressed as i'm hoping in time some of the symptoms that came with it might improve also. Thanks again.

Just curious if anyone had both and what approach they took to their diet, did they still just stick to the keto/low carb or was there anything else they did with this?.

Hi guys sorry for the late response, it's mainly due to money and also convenience as supermarkets deliver and cheap. But I think the culprit are the meats I get with some flavour.. spicy chicken wings etc.. as I eat a whole packet in a go it must contain a decent amount of sodium. I've also...

Hi, Hoping someone may be able to help me. I've always been either Salt Sensitive or Low potassium but noticed it much more since switching to low carb. Since going low carb as mentioned in previous a few things had been worrying my gp and one of them was my elevated blood pressure... and this...

No but I think i'm salt sensitive as they are most prominent after eating a salty meal and I've had issues with water retention for as long i know, so either salt sensitive or low potassium would be my guess.

I am with you in wanting more fatty cuts, Apart from my Chicken breasts I also would prefer my red meat to have more fat on it. The yellow sticker stuff in supermarkets is great when you catch it but so hit and miss and not dependable, Plus would prefer to get everything in all at once to save...

https://www.musclefood.com/pay-day-hamper Was one offer that looked pretty good but wasn't sure if I'm saving with what I'm getting compared to buying in a supermarket... butchers nearby offer similar deals but doesn't look as if you get as much as offered above.

Just ordered myself a table top freezer as I want to buy bulk meats, I keep slipping due to running low on stored food. Does anyone use any of the online bulk meat buying options ? £50 for example and do you get a lot more than ordering £50 worth from local supermarket ? any preferences ...

Thanks for the replies guys, that was actually the reason I asked as I had read from a few posts on here that trying to keep the spike around 2 is ideal and going from 5 to 8 was a bit larger than this. As for the taste was lovely but it was more the I didn't need to prepare/cook anything...

Hi, Tonight I decided to have a cheat meal, this was routine for me pre diagnosis after a heavy weak of training. This week I had hit the gym very hard and thought I'd see how I get on after being strict for a long time. Tonight's meal was a Meat feast calzone ( meats/cheese/Kebab sauce...

Similar story with my own GP and as others told me at the time, they like to tell you that you don't need to check daily as this means they don't need to supply you with the equipment needed... instead they tell you the routine checks can tell them if the changes are working or not... from test...
