I absolutely am! I'd considered it when I was first diagnosed but was a bit worried that not eating would have a negative effect on my levels (I experienced the dawn phenomenon early on and also high levels after excerising so was worried that these were linked to not eating enough), but after...

Hi, I followed 5:2 for a little while prior to my T2 diagnosis. I've since been doing LCHF, but thought I'd try 5:2 again and started yesterday. I ate breakfast and nothing else for the rest of the day. I tested my fasting levels this morning and it was at 5.9!!!!! This is amazing for me, I'm...

Hi all, thanks so much for your replies. The good news seems to be that I can incorporate running into my fitness regime and not be too scared of the BG levels. Originally I started running as a low cost, inexcusable way to exercise and lose a bit of weight - i got to choose where and when...

No, no medication. I don't usually eat until around 8/8.30 most evenings, but generally limit dinner to meat and veg/salad.

Hi all, This is my first post after being diagnosed in November. I've been following LCHF since the first day of diagnosis and have just had my first follow up test where my BG levels fell from 7.3 to 6.6. I was quite happy with this and have been allowed to continue trying to reduce further...
