Hi Winnie My friend is still trying to help me, we still walk often but I think it's a relief to him that it doesn't take as long. We were talking about it on Friday, it used to be unbearable, but you know it did me the world of good. He's a healthy eating nut to and has come up with lots of...

@Joshmax123 I'm really lucky, my doctors brilliant, I had a review on Friday, he's astounded that I've got my levels do low so quickly, but it was him that recommended me to go straight to low carb. There are apps out there to that you log what your eating and they tell you the sugar and carb...

Hi, I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago, my BS level was 54 and my ther one if the charts... I got a call from my doctor saying her needed to see me urgently and to come straight into the surgery. Ok what he recommended was, I ate no fruit, fruit juice ir cereals. No bread, potatoes, pasta or rice...

Hi @Mynameiskez. I have the worst needle phobia going, I never get bloods taken drives my doctor nuts, have no tattoos or piercings and had real troubles when I've been admitted into hospital. I've tried to get out major surgery saying I can live with the pain, and generally have a really bad...

I'm desperately trying to convince them... All I get is mum can't eat my diet because she has high cholesterol (so do I) and she can't eat fat etc... However, I have tried and I think I'm starting to get through to my mum that she really can't have cereal, toast and jam and orange juice for...

To be honest, it's hood to have peopke disagree with you on occasion, for one it makes good conversation and for two it can make you stop and question why you disagree.

M ines dropped... It was a small celebration time :) It's not going back up I tell you :)

I went to visit a friend tonight, and ended up in Asda trying to find something to eat until I got home.... Picked these up as well as hotdogs... Somebody should start a thread... What's the strangest things you eat on low carb diet :)

It's just another hurdle fir you to over come isn't it? I just wish they would take those horrible hurdles away thanks... I'm getting fed up with just about coming to terms with one medical problem and running smack bang into another :)

Hi, I've read your threads as I've found them both entertaining and informative, this forums like a breath of fresh air to be honest, I don't at the moment have anything to compare my first bloods with, I go for those in a couple of weeks, I know that they are going to show a significant...

Thanks everyone, @AndBreathe you make a valid point along with @Energize if I was allergic to any other kind of food they would be a lot more sympathetic. It's only a couple of friends but I suppose they think they have my best interests at heart in a screwed up way. It was my doctor that...

Farmer, I've been to see my doctor today, long story short. I've been concerned that my morning readings are slightly higher than my last readings before bed. He saidwas nothing to worry about, but if my readings start to rise without an explanation, then he wants me straight back... There...

Chalup, The more I research, the more I'm starting to understand, the more I'm understanding the easier this is getting, it's been really difficult to stay positive, and my poor therapist, we completely changed what we are working on to try to come up with a strategy to stay focused and...
