hi experts , time for more guidance and clarity...brief summary
3 years of type 2 denial, I am a ‘fat diabetic’ , meaning I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t carrying excess 2 stone I would probably be pre diabetic .....attempted LCHF whilst I have seen BS come down from 15+ down to a bit lower I haven’t succeded in getting the magic below 7 , ever. Recently a good friend said why don’t you do the michael Mosely 8 week? I said no having already bought the book and if memory serves I didn’t like the recipes ....but in the cold light of day I went and dusted off the book and speed read some bits and more importantly saw the pictures of the size of meals I should be eating to lose weight! A real wake up call!!
I also realised the LCHF plays to my weaknesses and i have been eating way too much of the HF!!
I am on metformin twice a day, I should have been on additional diabetic medication but It had an nasty side effects, so I stopped taking it.
For the last few days I missed brekkie, have stopped snacking and have lost 4lbs, which is fab, but having been testing myself a lot As I really want to get my bs down.
On one day (as an example ) I started on bs 12.2,no breakfast , just black coffee and lemon water, and other pills , at 12.35 I was 10.2, had 2 hard boiled eggs, avocado 1 tbsp coleslaw and some pork scratching....at 3pm I was 8.6 .... had sips from a cup of tea and water but at 5.25 mybs was 8.8 ....at 6.30 before eating my supper it had gone to 9.5 ... I read something about liver dumping....could someone please explain what that is, Is that what it might be be? And how do I prevent it? Thanks in anticipation
