Spiders, peas and most of all diabetes!
Woohoo! Started LCHF on Saturday (3 days ago) and BG down already from 8.0 to 6.3. Also lost 1 and a quarter pounds in weight. Absolutely delighted with myself and with the LCHF plan. Starting to think I can really do this!

Well done thus far, Helen. This style of eating really works well for many folks on this site.

Keep going!

Keep it up. I'm on week 3,bloods down from 15 to 5-6 with no insulin anymore. Got keytones but this good as it means my body is burning the fat. Managed to loose over a stone in weight to. Only thing I've noticed is headaches and mood swings for the 1st 2 or so weeks lol. Keep it up.

Good for you, Helen. LCHF really put me back in control. I'd recommend recording what you eat alongside readings (before and 2.5 hours after) as it helps you see patterns emerge and it arms you with evidence to hit your GP over the head with (if required). Good luck.
