I too had similar results until I moved to a new practice. New Doctor said vitamin D levels were in my boots. Took vitamin D tablets with calcium and liver function tests were normal. Was warned that the liver may still be fatty etc just not showing up in blood test anymre

I don't test through choice. The diabetic friendly bit is unique to each diabetic. I made a conscious choice to go with the flow of SW after discussion with my diabetic nurse. Losing 3 st and eating a wide, balanced diet made my numbers and weight drop considerably so for me the plan works...

I have to say that the 5/2 diet is probably going to be why many more will be diagnosed as diabetic in the future. The body needs to be fueled regularly to keep blood sugar levels even etc Peaks and troughs, Seesawing, We,re not cavemen anymore. We live a modern life. We need to eat healthily...

35g choco shreddies and semi skimmed milk and a banana/ What SW call FREE. I made rice pudding using diet cream soda and candarel= scrummy A frittata type thing. Spring onions, mushrooms, onions, peppers + ripped up 100% beef beefburgers , Sprayed with frylight and all in a foil covered dish in...

I would recommend SW to anyone. It is not a diet. It is a way of life. Filling one third of a plate with lots of veg, eating fruit, potatoes, pasta, rice, etc nothing is banned. There is a fantastic support on the website. Don;t worry about low carbing. My diabetic nurse told me if you are...

Hi See my post. I lost 3 stone with Slimming World. I used to Low Carb. I no longer do so. I follow the SW way of eating and enjoy ALL things in moderation. I will follow this for life now. I never feel hungry or deprived and can enjoy social eating and drinking.

Haven't been on here for a year or so. Used to low carb but could not maintain this way of eating.Started the Slimming World way of eating (it is not a DIET) I lost 3 stone and never, ever feel hungry. I eat all the things I enjoy including fruit , bread, pasta, cheese, wine even chocolate...

I read your post and I felt angry on your behalf and all the other diabetics she sees who get such equally bad and dangerous information but don't know it.... I hope you are on your way to feeling 100% better now . Good Luck XXXX

Hope u find the answer soon. It can be very worrying. I have persistent atrial fibrillation and before they completely sorted my meds out I used to say that I had an overactive whale in my chest whose flipper kept trying to exit the left side of my chest. With the right meds this subsided. Good...

Get to feel your falling apart sometimes? Still something wrong with my glands. Blood tests for anaemia and infection clear. Now on a hunt the stones scan that I have to wait 6 weeks for. Good news is no antib's so I can use brandy as a mouthwash. SOOO much better than the proprietary brands.......

3 weeks of antibiotics and I still have it. The last week I took 2 different types of antibiotics to try and clear it up. Back to docs and then it looks like the max fax clinic at the hospital. Can't even drink while on on the tablets either.......I'm sure the odd brandy or 2 would make a...

I love coffee especially COSTA coffee. Drink it strong and black. AF seems unaffected as yet. I drink the odd glass of water and el vino too.

Thanks for the info. I too will be buying! Much cheaper for me.

Evidently because we have compromised immune systems / endocrine disorder we can get parotitis. Has anybody else developed this? Mine appeared on Friday out of the blue. Looked like mumps on one side. Dr said it could be a stone/ infection. Antibiotics haven't started working yet. I now have...

Thanks for your reply Judith
