I think I'm losing weight. I've avoided the scale for so long as I found it so discouraging. But if my doctor's reading from September is to be believed, I've lost around a stone. Will be tracking it frequently going forward.

I was diagnosed with T2D a month ago, and have been on keto for three weeks. My blood sugar has dropped from 10-12 to 7s and 8s, but obviously I'm keen to get it down into the 5s, if not the high 4s. How long does it usually take to get there? I'm anxious about living with high blood sugar...

Yes I've only just started recording my blood glucose. The nurse actually told me not to bother as he was more concerned with my ketosis making me unwell. I'm actually feeling pretty horrendous at the moment. I feel like I'm getting what might be a false hypo every afternoon. Right now I have a...
