Thank you

Thank you so much. The weight just fell off! I really don’t want or need to lose any more though.

So this week I had a blood test. My last test was in June and my HBA1c was 49 so I was officially diagnosed as diabetic. I was gutted as I’d been pre diabetic for years. I was given advice from my diabetic nurse, most of which I disagreed with as she was referring to the NHS Eat-well plate and...

I have recently attended my first one to one Diabetes awareness programme. The follow up sessions are once a week for eight weeks in a group and then possibly monthly. I believe it’s for a year. I’m fairly sure they will not be promoting LFHC. It will be interesting to see what is promoted. I...

Thanks all.

I am pre- diabetic with a reading of 46. I’ve been following the LCHF diet since October 2018. I’ve lost some weight and recently bought a monitor. However I’m confused as the Diabetic UK web site encourages pasta rice etc albeit in small portions whereas this site completely discourages all the...
