Berberine can react with prescription meds so take medical advice before taking this,cand any other supplement.

I'm on statins because of high cholesterol. I don't eat carbs (apart from ones in veg which I don't count) in every meal. My bg is happily sitting in the 6s and 7s. Statins needn't cause problems but it may take a few different ones before you find a match.

Agree you need medical advice. One problem with diabetes is that it's linked to a number of other conditions one of which could be the cause of these symptoms or not.

I take trajenta. I have kidney failure and apparently its the only one licensed for diabetics with kidney conditions. Im not overweight enough for ozempic etc

I buy sugar free Werther's in Tesco,I get riccola, and stula in Waitrose, I pick up sugar free polos wherever as they're widely available.Last Tim I was in Waitrose I picked up some stula gum bears, they were lovely ,a bit like wine time in texture.

Mike, my gallbladder did, if I eat any fat I end up in pain

I had problems with atorvostatin, simvastin etc I'm currently on Creator and it's working fine, no side effects and my cholesterol has dropped. Mine you through no choice of my own I'm having to follow a very low fat diet so that might have had a lot to do with it

I've been on nearly all stations and have reacted badly to some, I'm now on Creator which seems to be working. Incidentally I have been forced into a very low fat diet due to gall stones and contrary to the low carb is the only way views on here , all my numbers have gone down, hbac1, weight...

Nigella does a gluten free chocolate cake in her Christmas nook, it's so rich you only need a tiny bit

I am on 3 different blood pressure drugs, amlodopine, losartartam and indapamide, just taking one or two aren't enough

I also have some form of familial cholesterol disorder and many people on here will recommend LCHF it may not be suitable for you, it's not for me. I need to restrict my fats or my trigs go sky high but a LCLF diet is sooooo boring . I am still working on a diet that balances the two buy is...

Be careful big the advice given by Decongest re your cholesterol, I tried LCHF and my cholesterol readings went sky high, I now have a lowish fat diet and although they have dropped considerably they are still high. It's so hard getting a balance

Vinegar on green beans, lush would combat the vinegar craving

Most people on here will say LCHF but the HF can affect some people accessory, I thought I was doing OK but my last test wasn't good so I'm going to try reduced carb reduced fat to see if it is possible to control both blood sugars and cholesterol

Unlike a lot of people on Here LCHF did not suit me as although it did lower my numbers my cholesterol reached for the stars so beware it can do this for some people. If you don't want to give up rice etc precook it until only just done and cool. Reheated it may not affect you in the same way.
