Ah, thank you! As soon as I got diagnosed I knew it was the biggest kick up the behind I’d ever received in my life. Something just ...clicked. Low GI Cobb from Lidl helps haha. I think I’m too regimented. I eat 40 carbs a day and rarely go over 7 but it’s a tussle. Sometimes when I’m getting...

Thanks for your comment, Paul. I know 100% I can get back on it. Letting it go beyond those designated days is not an opinion in my mind it won’t happen. I don’t care how bad cravings are. I think for me, it’s just having those 3 days of not worrying makes the other 362 of strict LCHF and...

@AdamJames Ah, thank you for your replies, Adam. I so much more get where you’re coming from from further explanation. Opinions are wonderful! More opinions the better (preferably constructive lol). I am very mindful of the getting addicted quickly part again and thank you and others for...

Thank you for sharing @lowedb

The last part of your comment, wow, I so agree. I don’t want to know. I just want to do what I know works long term and allow the blip. Btw I drink quite a bit but just spirits and Diet Coke. I have no spikes at all. Am I doing diabetes wrong lol?

Relax is more positive haha, I guess I can’t relax about it so the word didn’t enter my head ;)

Thanks for the input everyone! I am so afraid of getting complications from t2 that I will never allow myself to spiral. I would become severely depressed and it’s just not worth it. I’ll be taking Christmas Day and Boxing Day and my Birthday and that’s it for the year. I’ve found so many...

Same! I’ll not cane it, I’ll be watching and measuring and won’t over do it but I want to taste the tastes and not worry. I was thinking of doing quite a few fasts in early jan as well, more than usual to counteract it. A couple of days out of the year will hopefully not do anything, it’s...

Hi everyone, I’ve been t2 for a year and a half and my last a1c was 5.1. I follow a low carb diet and have lost 13 stones so far with 6 more to go. I keep low carb every day and last Christmas I was too scared to eat so I had cheesy sprout for Christmas dinner. I’ve come to the realisation...

I'm suspicious of Noakes. In a few tweets today he said Cholesterol doesn't affect women and hardly affects men. I don't know if I believe this as others have showed strong sources saying otherwise.

@Terryrhino @Resurgam Thanks for the info and kind words, guys. Appreciate it. I'm going to try to do low carb versions of things. I wonder if there's a Yorkshire pudding recipe that is low carb. I'm sure there'll be one out there somewhere. Yeah, mum has gotten better over time but she's angry...

I'm struggling with this, too. I live with my mum at the moment and she is not very understanding about my new way of eating with LCHF. Very impatient with it and angry all the time that I'm not gorging (which I've done my whole life and why I got into the state that I did). Part of me wants...

I was diagnosed T2 3 months ago. I have lost 3 stones and a1c went from 91 to 44. Doing LCHF. I hope t be off meds within 2 years, diet controlled.

Hey Ross! It's lovely that you asked me how I'm doing ^_^ I'm working on accepting my diagnosis and not to overanalyse it (for I am the queen of over-analysing things lol). I've also found more things to eat and have also found an awesome online low carb store - www.carblife.co.uk I went on a...

Hi everyone! I've been having a snoop about Amazon looking at the low carb stuff and saw the low carb Tortillas. Does anyone else use them? What are they like? Does anyone use anything else low carb off of amazon? Also, does anyone shop anywhere else online for low carb stuff like specific low...
