I haven't exactly loaded carbs at any point but i have had really bad cravings for the bad bad stuff, like I had a jam donut last week and hated myself for the rest of the day, sent my BG up to 11.1 .. I feel for you, I do, it sucks, fingers crossed it gets better! xx

Light headed, headachy, a little bit sick to my stomach, ..irritable

Thank you. I didn't really eat too much today, skipped breakfast, was out for a meal for a friends birthday and had a steak and mixed green salad and thats really it ... am nibbling on a square of 70% dark chocolate as I type right now as I was craving sugar ( that makes sense now after what...

Ok so when my BG is around 7 or even 8 I feel fine, but when its in the 4 to 6 range I feel like death on toast, makes no sense because the lower it is the better its supposed to be, but it appears to work in the opposite way for me. I have been on a LCHF diet for a good while now but the yucky...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has experienced this and if they have discovered it is related to Diabeties. I have recently ( since diagnosis ) taken up running again. Because I haven't really done much running since last winter I have been taking it slowly but an issue has came back which I had...

Thank you, will give that a look!! x

I havent Not noticed a difference in how I'm running now compared to how I used to before changing to a LCHF diet either, but I do think I might later on, however this thread has given food for thought on that. Yes, i think the trouble with running is its so addictive, I do have to stop myself...

Aye it is, a lot of runners plan meals up to a week prior to a big run, and some eat directly before...maybe a protein bar or a banana ..and some cant ( I cant ) because it will make them feel sick. It is all just very individual. Ive seen something recently that is a sugar free strip...

Aye, I felt bad all day yesterday about it and ended up having a really bad experience actually which Im sure must be related so lesson learned there, won't be doing that again lol... this sucks so much some times but I guess it could be worse!

Just found your blog from in here, wow...you have some scummy looking recipes on there, and I have a feeling you've just made life a whole lot nicer for me lol! x

B - 9 Bar. L - Lidl high protein roll with two slices of smoked cheese, mustard, red onion and mayo. D - 4 Mushrooms, 1 small red onion, 3 cherry tomatoes in a small amount of tikka sauce with a small spoonful of rice mixed in. 1/2 a Lidl roll. S - Strawberries and 1 small scoop of Glace Soy...

Thats really interesting and good to know! I haven't looked too deeply into it yet because its a few months off , if i follow the plan really before I'm going to need to worry about it really. Just back in from a 3 mile run ( up hill all the way, half killed myself lol ) just take a small amount...

Thats really interesting to know! I have recently re-taken up running again. Currently not doing loads of distance, usually about a 2 mile run... 4 days a week as part of a 0 to marathon training plan so it will increase weekly. Always had the worry in the back of my mind about the way carbs...

Thanks for the replies folks. I think I was meaning if i perhaps went out, a birthday or something and had something then. If the BG goes up to a bad level i understand thats damaging but...is it not the case that its only very bad if it stays consistently high over a period of time (...

I am currently on a limited carbs diet ( most of the time when I don't succumb to weakness ) my question is , is it ok to take those carbs in any form I see fit. So rather than spread them out via veggies/fruit/nuts throughout the day, could I eat something very carb/sugar heavy and make that...

Hi thank you for replying ( yes, my bad...lol ) ...and actually I still feel a little out of sorts but the shaking has gone. x

Hi folks, wonder if someone could shed some light on this. I was a little naughty earlier and had a jam donut after my dinner, I tested before i ate and it was 6.2 which seems about usual for me now, then i tested an hour later and it was 10.1 ...the highest i have been since i was diagnosed...

lol, love this post, cake and cream for breakfast sounds wonderful. Though after having the doughnut with dinner i took my bloods before 6.2....and hour later 10.1 ( oh my gosh ) then I went for a walk... came home feeling a wee bit shaky, roughly an hour after i got the 10.1 reading i tested...

B- peanut 9 bar. L- Sausages, bacon, low sugar beans, egg, mushrooms, a lidl protein roll. Ummm .. and a Lidl jam doughut. ( needless to say bloods stupidly high (10.1) D - will be a small portion of Skyr yogurt and raspberries. S - 2 squares of 70% .. Do you guys think its ok to treat yourself...

This just happened to me too! Unlike others here though my BG was high ( have had a very carb heavy naughty day ) 10.1 ...was a little disturbing to say the least!
