So Agree with HSSS, Erythritol (so hard to spell..) has this odd cooling taste on your tongue, but taste is acceptable. Havn't tried Xylitol as was worried about it affecting my tummy :( but the stevia drops I bought were absolutely vile!! Very chemical taste, they were relatively expensive, so...

Hi - well done on your amazing HbA1c reduction - this is fantastic. 110-70 on your own.. don't underestimate that. I'm not T2, but my hubby has been for about 12 years, he's been low carbing for the last 2+ years, and brought his levels down from 101 to around 50-60. However, at his last annual...

Definitely an acquired taste, and don't give up! Keep trying, your palate will change and most importantly - NOT ALL YOGURTS ARE CREATED EQUAL!!! Try others, mine costs pence and comes in a bucket from Lidl, or the full fat one from Aldi is nice too

My hubby has been T2 for over 12 years, and is stick thin!! (he's just over 6' and weighs around 12 stone) HbA1C of 101 before he started LC, now well under control and HbA1C hovers around 50-55. I think weight is more of a side effect, rather than a cause

It's the winter cold!! making us all eat more. I've been terrible the last couple of weeks, since September really. I need to get some lovely homemade soups in the freezer to take to work

I think Brunneria is right, there is definitely a period of adjustment and learning. I spent quite a while throwing vegetables out of the fridge as they'd gone off - it takes a while to realise that you don't need the same volume of food any more. Early baking consumables can be expensive, but...

I'm still not quite used to that weird feeling in the supermarket where you cruise through sections and don't even look at anything, still feels odd! Cereals, crisps, chocolate etc Go me :)

Hi, bit late to the conversation, but your DSN IS a healthcare professional :)

NHS England are running national courses for pre-diabetics https://www.england.nhs.uk/diabetes/diabetes-prevention/ perhaps it is that? NDPP (National Diabetes Prevention Programme)

Ewww! garlic with honey.. :) I love both, but I'm not sure about the mixture!!

I also used to live in WW, Hi :) I am not a T2Diabetic, but my husband is. He has followed low carb since Feb last year and I did this with him to support him and for ease of cooking meals. For me it has meant I have thrown my anti mad pills away that I've been off and on for 20 years. Low carb...

to add, his HbA1c was 101 last Christmas time, but now down to 56 - all through low carb, high fat diet.

My hubby is a T2 (10yrs), and diet controlled with insulin pen at night if needed. There is so much sugar/carbs he has to avoid anyway, drinks are easy - no sugar. He does however have semi skimmed milk in his coffee which he seems to tolerate. BS around 5.8 in the morning and about 7 or 8 by...

Hi. if you have been advised that you are pre-diabetic, I'd say that it's likely that you are T2 Diabetic - this is by far the largest percentage of diabetics. However, it's important that you know what type of diabetes is ailing you. Ask your health care provider to clear this up for you. If...

Wife of T2, HbA1c of 101 last Christmas reduced to 50 - yes 50 by August 2017 - Low carb all the way
