    Proteins in my urine

    Hi All, I have experiencing swollen feet for the last 3 months which has been really annoying and uncomfortable. I have been told I have high blood pressure and after a routine urine test they have told me I am passing proteins. My Doctor told me that he will pass my results on to the renal...

    Can a one-off meal really set back and ruin your results?

    I go to harvester sometimes. I tend to stuff myself up with the salad and have the grilled salmon with veg. To be honest one off meal won’t do much harm but it can set your bloods off for a good couple of days so i don’t think it’s worth it xxx

    New and worried

I am not going to lie, it is a bit of a head whirl fist of all but you do get used to it and you learn to adapt to a slightly different routine. It just takes time. Everyone on...

    Decision to abandon LCHF just for Christmas

    Hi! I have done the same thing. I was only diagnosed with t2d in August and have been on the lchf diet ever since. My bloods didn’t like me for it and had to take 2 of my pills just to get them back down but I am an angel the rest of the time and just for a couple of days I want to enjoy...

    Floaty friend!

    Yeah it is exactly like that she moves with my eye and to be fair she isn’t as bad as yesterday I’m calling her Catrina the catapilllar now! I have spoken to the eye clinic and they said it should go away in a few days but if not I’ll call them back up! Not mucking around with my eyes again!

    Floaty friend!

    Hi all!! I have just had my second lot of steroid injections for my eyes this Saturday gone, everything is fine but I have had a weird black stringy friend appear just off my centre vision.

    Feeling really low

    Hi everyone, I have been recently re diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and feeling pretty low as my bloods are still far from perfect. Don’t get me wrong, they tend to flare up at this time of the month due to hormones but still not it the right range even when I try really hard. I’m already on a...

    Injections Next Week

    Hi everyone I thought I would just give everyone an update. Had the injections today and they didn’t hurt one bit! It felt weird when the injection was in my eye but it just felt like a pressure test. Pretty sore now and been sleeping most of the day - more due to the fact I take diazepam for...

    Christmas At Costa!

    Hiya everyone! I have just tried the new gingerbread latte at Costa (with soya milk) and I found out that it is sugar free! Not sure on the carbs but it hasn’t spiked my bloods which is a great sign! Be careful if you order it though as it comes with cookie crumbs and a gingerbread man...
