Hey, I'm fairly sure I bought two batches of my test strips some point last year but when looking at both I believe the expiry date was 11/2025. These are Gluco Navii ones, I currently dont have the funds to replace them right now, but was wondering how inaccurate they will be if the date im...

Hey, Just back from my yearly review and my Doc continues to be happy regarding my Blood Sugar levels basically in normal however they are concerned about my Triglycerides and Chol/HDL Ratio and looking to start me on Statins. I'll be honest im a bit confused as I had thought long term Low...

Hey Resurgam, yeah I will stay on course and hopefully see results then over months I know that when i was off course for that period when i randomly tested I was hitting 18.0 and other scarily high numbers which prompted me to get back on track so that is quite possible. I had thought it might...

Hi guys thanks for the replies after the above testing and feeling a little disheartened I made myself some Scrambled Eggs with Butter and 1 Cumberland Sausage with a dollop of Mayo, ate this then went to sleep for 6 hours. When I woke up I tested again and firstly got 10.4 and a minute later...

Hey guys, A while back I was diagnosed and managed to get into normal levels with diet alone, I very recently messed up my diet due to stress and other things going on. I attempted to get back on track a couple of months but fell off again but I've been back on my low carb diet the last 2 weeks...

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...
