Hi, I've also had the same issue and I do peak fasting as recommended by Dr Mercola on his website,, together with LCHF, I'm type 2 and don't eat for 3 hours prior to bedtime and miss breakfast to enable at least 16 hours fasting most days, to enable recovery time for my internal organs...

I just wanted to update you that my diabetic nurse actually gave me the option to come off metformin, as I had maintained below pre diabetes levels at my last HbA1c. So I need to carry on the good work and promote LCHF and intermittent fasting as a means of managing diabetes type 2 without...

I was advised that it takes 9 months for fat cells to be eliminated from the body after the weight has been lost, so this makes sense, although I'm personally no authority on the subject, but found it an interesting concept and well worth trying to avoid the ups and downs of dieting and...

I use the Aldi 85% and then melt it, together with some coconut butter to bring down the % carb content and also add nuts/seeds or a combination so that it doesn't spike my blood sugar.You may need to experiment to find out what works best for you. I then place it on a cling film covered dish...

Thank you all for your advice. I think the best course of action is to move to Spain and follow the Mediterranean diet and enjoy life in the sunshine, less stress and not craving chocolate would also help in lowering the levels:cool: I'll see what my HbA1c results are next week and then probably...

Please can the administrator please let me know how an account can be deleted. I already have an account but followed a link from an e-mail to a forum and replied. I hadn't realised that I wasn't signed in, but I now seem to have a 2nd account??? I have tried to find out how to PM the...

Thank you all for your replies. I've been back to my GP this week for test results from some nerve conduction tests and also my latest HbA1c. The nerve conduction tests are inconclusive, so I need further tests and to see a neurology consultant following the tests, but it is really worrying...

I am a recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetic. I initially went to the GP with tingling in my fingers and toes, but none of the other initial signs of diabetes. This has now worsened to more numbness in my feet and difficulty with walking and balance. I feel like I am wearing lead boots and walking...
