:) I definitely meant high fat low carb!!

Hi, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted help for my question about cholesterol - you're all stars as far as I'm concerned for the time and care you've taken to help me and others. I've followed the links, read the articles/watched the videos you've sent over this...

Thank you Ian, it is good to have ideas and food changes to play around with. Good to see you had a long 'honeymoon' period too - I will keep my fingers crossed for similar.

Fantastic, thank you!!

Wow, thank you to everyone - I feel overwhelmed that you've taken time to reply to me with the information you have all sent - I have some serious reading ahead of me, but I am looking forward to trying to get my head around everything. Coffee will be needed, yes!! Cocosilk, I can imagine how...

Hi, Bulkbiker I will read those through - thank you very much for that link. Daibell, thank you: that is interesting. Previous to any problem I ate like a horse, anything I liked ( mostly what I considered as healthy) and never put on weight - I assumed because I'm very active - although I do...

Ah, thanks for the reply ...I'd not seen it as I was busy typing. Yes, maybe a wait and see scenario

* keto treats that should've said: cocoa/coconut brownies etc.

Also, I had been doing the HFLC diet since around December if that helps? Initially, I didn't eat enough fat and lost over a stone in weight in a matter of weeks, so I upped my fats intake probably around mid January. I was enjoying the diet very much and eating absolutely as much as I liked...

Hi Bulkbiker, yes - I had fasted for 12 hours before the blood test

Hi, Hope everyone is as safe and as well as possible. I was diagnosed with Type 1.5 in Feb. I'm currently still producing some insulin and I'm controlling blood sugars using the High Fat Low Carb diet. However, my last blood tests showed my cholesterol had increased to: Overall...

Hi, DN said today that if blood sugar well controlled then effectively its the same risk as a non diabetic....however, I know I have read that diabetics are more prone to/struggle with any infection/illness more because their immune system responds differently - I understood this to mean...

@KK123 Thank you! Have I used the '@' correctly?!!

Hi KK123, thank you so much for your reply and your very sensible advice. I had to go back this am to GP for more ketone strips and, as ketones were up at 2.6, I have also had a further chat with the GP. I then came home and read your post. You might be interested to know that we had...

Hi KK123 and Barb McD, Hope you are both well and happy?! Just thought I would post with what happened yesterday....my GP phoned to say could I come in to surgery to pick up a glucose monitor/ketone monitor and see the diabetic nurse. I almost asked to postpone as I was coming down with a...

Hi KK123, thanks again. I had a different GP today who was brilliant....she listened and agreed that something wasn't right and we should begin the process of trying to find out what was going on. I was able to mention that I'd had a reply on here from someone sounding very similar and your...

...also, I am running out of the house now as late to meet friends, but do want to know if you are well and have things sorted out now. How does being type 1 differ? Thanks so much again

thank you so much. I will print this reply off/type it up if necessary and take it to my GP as I think this is what is what with me.
