I started to get too many injuries, I kind of thought it was my body telling me to give up. I did go to a private physio who helped but I still got a lot of aches and pains. I exercise now but don't run.

I totally agree but the fact remains that the op's gp is ignorant and prejudiced. I dearly wish it was that simple.

To be honest I think your gp is talking out of his backside and it really makes me mad! I was diagnosed pre diabetic as a runner with a normal bmi. I now have lower normal bmi, can't run but exercise and although I have normal hba1c's I still have to low carb to keep this way.

My ldl went up high when I first low carbed, I tucked into cream and cheese with enthusiasm after a lifetime of dieting to keep slim! I was worried so I upped the oily fish, nuts, avocados, lean chicken breasts, extra virgin oil and cut out the cream, butter, fatty meat and moderated the eggs...

Mine went up after exercise when I was first diagnosed prediabetic, I ignored it and carried on exercising it did seem to stay lower for the rest of the day after the initial rise. It doesn't go up so high now when I test.

I low carb probably less strictly than some, I'm under 90 a day but that includes lots of green veg and salad vegetables, with occasional berries. My teeth and gums are excellent according to my dentist, she says the low carb is good for teeth. I only get warned about my red wine as it's acidic...

I keep a few carby bits for family members visiting and I sometimes make something for my grown up kids. And a packet of nice biscuits to offer visitors with a cup of tea. I'm never ever tempted now.

No, nothing. I low carb in that I eat no obvious carbs (pasta, cereal, food in breadcrumbs, floury sauces, cakes, etc., etc.) but I do eat lots of green veg, salads and nuts and have less than 90 carbs a day. I do lots of cardio but not much strength. I've edited to add I really don't stress...

I've never ever been overweight, always exercised and was only prediabetic in 2009 and have had hba1c's under 35 for 12 years but my fasting bg's are still often in the prediabetic range!

Under 90 but that includes everything, I eat lots of above ground veg and salads which bump up the carbs considerably. I eat no obvious carbs like flour, potatoes, pasta etc. I was pre diabetic in 2009 and have remained with normal hba1c's ever since, but my response to glucose is still...

Hi, try not to worry, I know easier said than done. I know quite a few people double jabbed and they have all been fine, very similar to @Rachox. Get an oximeter to monitor your husband's oxygen levels. My friend who had covid when unvaccinated found it very reassuring to check that her oxygen...

As your wife has such a good hba1c I would add in a few more carbs in the form of avocados, peanut butter and macadamia nuts, really calorific and healthy. I've been in a position where my bmi was starting to get too low, it dropped to 18.5 quickly so I made an effort to eat breakfast, early...

I would definitely add have a breakfast and snacks at this stage is not healthy to have that low a bmi and eat even if you're not hungry to get that weight on.

Elenas, I was pre diabetic and had problems keeping weight on when first diagnosed and commencing low carbing. I have also more recently had gastritis and a hiatis hernia diagnosed after losing a lot of weight, so much weight that my gp put me on the two week cancer pathway. The way I maintain...

Yes I find it easier too maintain weight this way

It is difficult, I lost weight which I can ill afford to even with my husband bringing in food. It is all down to costs. I feel very sorry for people with no one to bring them food.

I've just got the kit, but yet to do it, but I fully intend to do so.

I'm currently doing this via the zoe app. However my friend had what she thought was covid very early on, when you weren't tested unless in hospital. She paid for a private antibody test last summer and had loads of antibodies! She's retested recently and had none of the antibodies that...

Well done you've done a great job! I wouldn't worry about stopping the metformin until I'd got my hba1c consistently to 35 or below.
