Hi all, I would like to join the Friday weigh in if that OK. I was 238 lb when I was diagnosed a year ago. Quite quickly found this site and went low carb. Weight down to 214 lb this morning, so 24 lb lost so far. Trouble is, I am beginning to 'lose it' and having more and more 'treats', so...

Wow, well done.

7.0 this morning.

My first experience of Diabetic Clinic review yesterday ... left feeling a bit underwhelmed!!! This was the first time since my diagnosis in March (made over the phone) that I had actually seen anyone to discuss my diabetes. Thankfully, in the meantime had found this site, started LCHF and...

Hi, Can I ask your gender and age? I have had a similar sensation in my legs for about 2 years. I can only describe it as feeling like something is crawling along my nerve at the front of my thigh. I have asked at the GP who was at a bit of a loss but then said that he had heard that...

Hi all, Diagnosed two and a bit months ago with a HBAC1 of 57 and thanks to all the info on this site started a LCHF diet. Today got my latest result and it is down to 46 - yay!! A bit of a fight to actually get my result from the GP receptionist as she just kept saying 'It is OK, but I...

Hi, I used to have an allotment. Used to pop in everyday on the way home from work, but when I changed m job a few years ago it was a bit too far to travel and so I gave it up. However, I have now dug up half of my back garden and am growing fruit and veg there. I have rhubarb, gooseberries...

7.2 this morning.

Hi, Newbie here, just started testing. 8.5 this morning following a 6.5 at bedtime last night.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have had a look at Dietdoctor.com, lots of information to digest and some good recipe ideas, thanks for the links @Lindy1706. I have decided to treat my week away as a relaxing health 'spa'. Lots of swimming, walks along the beach and hopefully some healthy...

Hi, Received a call from my GP surgery a few days ago to advice me I am diabetic. I had not had any symptoms so bit of a surprise! Had been send for blood tests as I am on steroid inhalers for asthma and apparently these can cause diabetes (had never been told this before).. Anyway, my HbAc1...
