    Bacterial vaginosis / Thrush control

    Hi ladies - there’s a lot of threads on thrush but I have found that I have BV ( there’s a Canestest you can buy to help you work out which one you have). Doctor is prescribing antibiotics but a few days after I finish them, it’s back. Anyone else experiencing similar? Found a good way to manage...

    Any tips for boosting motivation?

    The fear propelled me into taking quick and great changes right away and I do appreciate that I am lucky to have a condition that I really can control. Thank you.

    Any tips for boosting motivation?

    Hi - I am 4 months in to my diagnosis as T2 and have got my blood sugar well under control with diet and more recently exercise. All is going well & I know I should be motivated by the success but I’m actually finding it hard now to keep to the LCHF diet and just stay on track. Any tips on how...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.4 for me. Lowest in a while. I think it’s because I’m back in the gym:)

    Just Diagnosed Pre Diabetic

    Sounds like you might have keto flu. I had it for a few weeks when I started LCHF eating last Nov. I felt AWFUL. But it does pass - as your body gets used to the new diet. Btw - favourite brekkie for me is a cheesy waffle - chaffle - made with almond flour. Just google keto chaffle for recipes.

    HbA1c results are in! Thank you!

    Great news this morning. Diagnosed T2 in November with an HbA1c level of 98, three months on I am at 42!! Totally DELIGHTED! Couldn’t have done any of it without this forum. You were my guides and inspiration when I was trying to get to grips with this. LCHF diet has been amazing. Lost 21lbs, 5...

    11 Week in T2 Update

    Well done! I am also about to receive new data from my bloods being taken this week - 12 weeks after my diagnosis. Your blood sugar change is fantastic! Am stunned by your weight loss too. Did you do 22kg in those 10/11 weeks too? I have started doing gym work regularly in the past couple of...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Bit surprised to see a 4.2 this morning. I have been high 5s and 6s since New Year. I started gym sessions this week - entirely new to me - and it’s since then that the numbers are going down - a lot! No change in my diet. Do other folks get that impact from weights exercising?

    Weekly weigh in - Fridays

    Crossing fingers for you that you get the go-ahead to swim! I don’t so much have a target weight as a target waist measurement;). I am aiming - long term!! - for my waist to be half my height. That means losing another 9 inches off my waist. But I find tracking the weight loss gives me...

    Weekly weigh in - Fridays

    Weekly weigh in Fridays - great idea! I was diagnosed type 2 in Nov. I have gone LCHF and got the blood sugar levels under control. It’s been a nice reward to see some weight loss too. Started at 85kilos, now down at 78. The loss is slow but I just signed up to an exercise group today. Hopefully...

    Type 2 Blood sugar levels and colds

    Hi - I’m 2 months into a keto diet, after a diagnosis of type 2. All has been going well and my blood sugar levels have gone down quickly. In the last week they’ve settled almost a point higher (instead of 5.4 or 5.8 I am at 6.4 or 6.8). It doesn’t feel good to be flirting with the upper limits...

    One minute Keto muffins

    Hi - I tried the 1 minute microwave muffin today. I thought it had potential but mine was too dry and dense. What’s the answer to that? Less coconut flour? Add some water? I love coconut so it would be great to get this working!
