I know! *sob* and *sob* again...you can probably see how I got into this predicament to start with! I'd think nothing of munching on a big bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes for brekkie and then some for supper, it's definitely all my fault I got into this state! Hence why I'm desperate to reform my...

I have yet to hear back from the clinic (I'm certain they're just super busy) but I told them I'd not started the meds as yet, but totally understand if they want me on them, after me trying the diet, I'll definitely seriously consider it. Sadly, aside from swimming each week, which I love, I...

Ooh thanks for replying, this is interesting as I'm trying at 100g for a few days then onto 80g so sounds just about how I'm hoping to tackle the t2 diabetes and delighted to hear it's worked for you, not dropping down to the 20g/30g level I've been reading a lot about on instagram. I'm loving...

Yes, I did and I think I got Keto Flu with it, because I felt terrible; I did persevere for some months, but it was just too drastic for me to cope with. I was looking good but spending all my time in the loo, so noone saw my weight loss anyway! :meh::) The slower way I'm doing it now, is...

Hi there and thanks for posting to me. Sounds like the high carb way of eating doesn't really suit many of us at all. I can well remember the days when I probably knocked back at least 500 carbs a day! Thoroughly enjoyed them too, but all good (bad for you) things must come to an end! :arghh:

Wow! No that *is* a turnaround..crikey what a scary time you must have had and to see how you've turned it all around is nothing short of real determination! I do doth my cap! :wideyed: On the plus side, this is very good news for me, as it means I can just concentrate on getting those BS...

Thanks! I did some research last night on the pred link and was astounded at how much pred can cause diabetes. I'm still waiting on the clinic to get back to me (to be fair they did say yesterday or today, I'm guessing their busy), so will almost certainly be bringing it up. Yes, I think, if...

*lol* Spent most of last night watching a sad programme about twins on Netflix whilst nipping on Instgram and hashtag searching #ketodiet and #ketofood, lots of great recipes popped up; I definitely think I got this! :)

Now that is very interesting, because I assumed I'd probably had this a while and it was undetected, but I moved house 2 years ago, and so moved from the GP Practice to a closer one, and I'm sure the old practice would have detected any diabetes in me (I was with them for over 12 years), but...

Oh that's great to read! I'm just loving all these positive LCHF posts proving my point, all good evidence, I'm making the right decision for my body and health. I think I'll have to play around and find the right carb allowance for myself as when I went on 20g carbs (in the early years of...

Hi there and thanks for the reply! I have to say, I was wondering when my nurse was going to mention statins, my Mum wasn't a fan of them at all, and I'm sure that'll be the next thing I have to target. My overall hope is that going on the LCHF diet will balance everything out and get me back...

This is fabulous and just what I needed to read today. I'm still waiting on the D/N to get back to me via phone today, and haven't taken any meds yet, and really don't want to esp with the kids being ASD as I'm their main go to person. I want to be fighting fit so I can be there long term for...

I'm thinking the same as you, that I was undiagnosed for a long time and it's built up to epic proportions in my blood. I asked the nurse if the GP practice had done a full blood count and she told me they don't really take a blood test for diabetes as they only test if they think the patient...

Hi there and thanks for the advice; much appreciated. Yes, I was given a testing meter yesterday and this morning tested at 9.4 so my diet already seems to slowly but surely bringing the numbers down (started at 80mg of carbs yesterday from my normal 130mg of carbs, a bit of a shock to the...
