Hi. So we had 2years of trying & failing to conceive that led to IVF for unexplained infertility as both had no issues however it was during the IVF process I got diagnosed with type 2. I'm happy & grateful to say I have gorgeous lb who is a dream come true on so many levels but I can't help...

Hi. I too have recently started the LCHF/keto diet. I too recommend diet doctor website that also has app & a website called ditch the carbs. Like you I have sweet tooth & struggled with it but despite the initial side effects low carb is defo best decision I made. I've been on about 2 to 3...

Hi Don't know if too late to answer but just saw this. I am type 2 & was diagnosed during prelims tests for ivf & I had to put ivf on hold few months but when we resumed my HBAC1 was between 50 to 60(can't remember exact as over 2years ago) I now have 21month old LB after 1st ivf cycle...

Thanks so much. Yours words of assurance are great help. Touch wood but things looking up I feel better, less fatigue or high spikes, less trips to bathroom at night & I am starting to feel sweet tooth less. Just now trying to find balance between eating enough & food choices without losing too...

Aaw thanks. Good to know am not alone & this may just be blip in my journey . Like many am thinking about post lockdown activities like eating out. I will get back on track as I'm encouraged that some of the issues I've had may have been body adjusting & doing 'keto flu' . I'll plod on I'll do...

Thanks everyone for your help. Sorry I went silent but Up until yesterday(had foods body didn't agree with either), I had few days of normal with 1 dip in that time that I could explain(had high carb snack for convenience) . From my research my good eating was reason for feeling/doing better so...

Hi again. Thanks for your input again. I do not have any intolerances & I thought brown bread & peanut butter was strange allowance but it was listed on low carb meal Plan suggestion so did it for first time today like I said in comment on other thread I have felt normal for past week exc...

Hi All. I am type 2 for over 3 years & take 4 metformin a day & have had good HBAC1 results. I don't test (I suffer severe anxiety especially health so doing testing induces it so trying to avoid) In last 6 weeks I have been trying extra hard to eat better & follow low carb diet & drinking...

Thanks I will genuinely consider it. Yeah low carb has made difference as I feel more alive though I am suffering with my anxiety especially at night so could be better if sleep better. Today's dip showed me it does seem to be food dependent-low carb is best but like I said I worry what be...

Oh I understand & wasn't expecting to be diagnosed by u & I too would be rushing to gp if not for lockdown. I just wanted you all to know how things went. I've seen it as positive & will plod on with my better eating. Thanks for the reactive hypo tip I wouldn't have noticed it & it does sound...

Thanks alot. Happy to report that I've been fatigueless for past few days & that's by following low carb eating however today not so lucky today. I needed something quick for lunch so I had a 50g per 100g carb food for lunch snack as, well as 2 boiled eggs & apple for lunch itself & I had a...

Thanks u make me feel better. I got diagnosed with type 2 during blood checks for ivf so can't blame pregnancy but would like all to be good as would hate for bg levels to be reason another pregnancy didnt happen naturally. Just generally wanna feel fully normal. We've all got better things to...

Thanks. I will consider what you said. I feel I'm doing similar self work as I gave myself good talking to when I realised I lost my way & bg now affected. L honestly feel great since changing my eating habits It's just these dips in energy at 3 to 4hrs after eating not 2hrs when u would test. I...
