Hello, I was diagnosed three years and for a year I was the ‘poster child for low carb’ - anyway last year I fell off the wagon - wife diagnosed with serious illness etc so no doubt lost in a bit of depression. I tested my bloods last week and they were 17.3 - my skin has been itchy, the thirst...

Thanks - yes back to the nuts for me

Yes it does thanks - done a bit of reading on fruit today and remembered I also had a couple of tangerines - mindless eating really - another lesson learned

hi, I've been following low carb for four months and happy that my results are usually within NICE recommendations- however today I has cauliflower rice and curry - low carb and bloods went up to 14.3. I've had three pears today are they to blame? I've already given up on apples which had a...

Hi thanks for that - never heard of the Dawn Phenonemon so that's very helpful. I've only been testing a few days and have no pattern yet - not testing very much - so no idea yet how long it lasts - I probably do have a lot of protean - five eggs for breakfast etc so that makes sense - thanks...

Well I've been diagnosed a T2 for nearly three months - lost two stone and I'm dating more - so that's jolly good! Also I like eating healthy, I've started running again and I've cut out growing potatoes on my allotment - looking for more interesting food to grow. I do wonder if I hadn't been...

Thanks - yes that seems to be the consensus

Hello - I appreciate that detailed reply - more reading for me - Ho hum!!!

Thanks - I think I'll stick ultra low carb for another month and see what happens

hi - I was diagnosed a type 2 diabetic at the end of last December. Today I had my first meeting with the dietician. I explained I was following a very low carb diet and as little sugar as possible. His advice was to increase my carbs, eat whole meal bread and pasta eat some potatoes - basically...

Thanks very much - they did do the test but I forgot to write it down but I'll take your advice on targets - more reading for me I think !!!
