Hi Sixfoot, thanks for the info, I wouldn't have a problem with the meter, just the sticks. I don't know why they cost that much! I'll have a look on Ebay for now as I only see my nurse about once a year but I'm going to ask for strips too - I wont hold my breath, lol. I will keep that in...

Hi everyone, No I won't expect too much. I know this big loss won't last. I lost another 9lbs last week but weighed myself today and have put on 1 lb, lol. I also notice a lot is written about stalling and it seems this can happen quite soon into low carbing with some people, so when that...

Thanks for explaining that for me guys, had a look at the link too so I'm a bit wiser now. It's a learning curve this diabetes!

Hi Patch, Yes, I 've read that so many times. The first time gives an excellent result that is never repeated again, weightloss will be lower and take months rather than weeks. I think because I was aware of that I've been rigourous wheras on a normal diet I'd be slipping a few treats in by now...

Thanks Sue, I was shocked I admit , Ive lost a stone in a month many a time (and put it back on ) but never this much in a week but that might be down to two things. I'm a big girl so I lose more than someone slimmer would and I was eating tons of stuff I shouldn't have been which I haven't...

I'd tried for weeks to think of a menu but couldn't think of much and decided to play it by ear. I got weighed a week later _ last friday and wow , I'd lost 12 lbs in a week! My family...

Hi again, Just to say thanks to everyone who gave me some really useful advice and tips on my first post. Trinkwasser, the bloodsugar 101 was especially useful and has really given me the push I needed as I feel a lot more informed now. Boosh

This study is very similar to the Yudkin one I read on here recently. I was amazed to find that eating fat is encouraged and in such amounts! It's the total opposite of the advice most of us are given. I am planning to start in the next few days and hopefully will be able to report some...

Thanks Hanadr, the more I look into it the more I,m sure it's the right way to go!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and am hoping to start low carbing to bring my bs levels down. The problem is that most of the books I have bought or flipped through, while extolling the virtues for preventing diabetes, all without exception in the first few pages state that the book is not...
