My Year Paul Hawthorne 72 years old Started late 2023 With an appointment to see my Diabetic Specialist at Warwick hospital. At the time of seeing her I was on Metformin, Toujeo and Trulicity. The specialist offered me a FreeStyle Libre 2. The best bit of tech I have received for helping me...

Chris24main Hi well I’ve been free from diabetic for two weeks. Initially no problem but my daily sugar levels are trying to rise. I’m fighting back. Trying to reduce my carbs keeping my sugar under control. Eating a lot of meat. Hard work but I’m hoping that in another two/three I will get...

Thanks I’ll bear that in mind

I’ve just had my blood test done at the doctors and as said previously spoke to the GP. I’m now trying to interpret the report. Which isn’t that easy. I think I will take a screenshot of each section. Then check it out on google. Or is there an easier way one of you can tell me. Hahaha thanks

Thanks for your advice. Pre warned is a good thing. Might stop me panicking if thing change as I’m now diabetes medication free. I do have a concern as I’m still loosing weight (very slowly). My daily calories (2100) keep coming out down(goal 2300). Protein, sugar are fine and fat is slightly...

Hi a few things I want to say today. First thanks you for referring Nina Teicholz’s. I’m finding it very interesting (audio book). I’ve just finished listening to the The Carnavor code by Paul Saladin MD. Very technical but well worth a listen. I’m very proud to report since loosing 5 stone...

Thanks

I’ve been reading all these comments and it’s interesting. I’m a little confused as I moved to cooking with coconut oil. Is this okay. Also should we all be moving back to cooking with lard as we did in my younger years??

Okay thanks I’ll try them

I’ve just cross checked it is only 1g on three sausages. That’s probably why it’s not listed. As it’s on three sausages (0.3 per sausage)

When I put them into my fitness pal (app) it showed up (a full days allocation). I’ve agree it’s not shown on the packaging ????

Hi [emoji112] everyone I’ve just noticed Heck pork sausages 97 meat. Have a lot of trans fat. As I understand one of the worst foods I can eat. Just thought [emoji189] I should share this.

Chris24main Well said sir we are on the same page. But it appears that the medical community aren’t there yet. Haha I carb loaded two or three times a year for special events. It was hard to do. But it really did work I would feel unbeatable. Funny it’s that feeling I think I’m working hard for...

Thanks chris24main. Your words are very interesting and appreciated. @Melgar - was also interesting. As in my youth I was very involved with sports ( rugby, canoeing, marathon running, cycling finally weightlifting. ) the running, cycling, and canoeing were all long distance events (cycling up...

Hi Chrs24Main Sorry reference my insulin. I was injecting 70ml twice a day at my peak. Under guidance from my GP and many books ( The Diabetes Code, Glucose Revolution, Living Low Carb and Blood Sugar 101 ). So with pressure from my daughter and son in law (whose father had died from type one )...

Thanks this is almost a mirror image of my experience,reading and life. I’m 72 a year ago after reading lots of books I started to reduce my insulin. I’ve lost over 5 stone and don’t have insulin. Still on metformin but thinking of stopping it. Trying to go keto but difficult. The morning spike...

Thank you all for your advice. I’m listening to the Glucose Revolution at the moment. Finding it very helpful and informative. As I’m listening to it I’m finding that I need the hacks and data written. So I’m probably going to buy the book again as a hard back. Have you any recommendations for...

Hi I’ve been type 2 for a long time. I now have a Libra monitor. Which I motivates me. I’m reducing my insulin. Was 74 now 44 and losing weight. I’m reading and asking questions. What I’m puzzled over at the moment is spikes. What is an acceptable spike after a meal ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️
