Hi, I really fancy making pizza. I've just heard about fathead dough. My question.... Is this OK for T2s? Will it raise blood sugars? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've had an eye infection since 8th December. It has cleared up once and returned 5 days later. I'm being monitored daily at hospital but wondering if this is T2 related. It's herpetic keratitis. I just don't seem to be able to heal.

Hi, Can I ask.... Does sleep have a big impact on bs???? Im a teacher and feel quite anxious and stressed in term time. Now the holidays are here I'm sleeping much better.... 8 hours without waking and sometimes an afternoon nap. Feel very relaxed. Normally I wake every couple of hours in term...

Hi. Utterly confused. I tested 4.3 tonight bebore dinner. Then ate a roast pork dinner with 4 roast pots, veg and gravy. I took 1000mg of metformin. Admittedly, it was a good size dinner. After it, I went for a 30 minute quick walk. When I got back, I tested and was 10.2. Never experienced...

Thank you for your kind words. I feel great this morning. I was exhausted yesterday - the job is demanding and sucks every last drop of energy from me. x Plan to have steak and chips tonight!

Hi everyone, Thank you for your replies and I am so sorry for my late reply. I have been so busy with my job demands that I haven't been on here (am a teacher) but wanted to let you know how I got on. So my new levels are 42. I had a telephone conversation Tuesday of this week with DN who says...

Hi everyone, I have been so quiet of late - felt like I needed to focus on so many things and just so little time. Well, my journey ... I was diagnosed 3rd June (on my 48th birthday) and was very shocked - I think I spent 2 weeks crying! Not sure why I was so shocked as I should have seen it...

Hi all, Quick question, what is the exact relationship between T2 diabetes and problems with the liver? On diagnosis my bs were 86, but liver function completely normal which I know is a good thing. Just intrigued. I thought the 2 went hand in hand. I'm very curious to know how I can have a...

Hi. I'm a T2 and was diagnosed 3 June and put on 2 x 80mg of Glic. I'm 5.3 and was 10.2. Now lost a stone from low carbing. I never took the Glic. I felt it was too dangerous for me. My levels were 86 at diagnosis and 6 weeks later were 60 just from diet changed. I then agreed to take...

That's amazing. You did that without meds right?

Hi everyone, Been on slow release metformin for 4 weeks now and today marks a week on full dose. My priblem: since I introduced the 4tj pill.....have moments of feeling very nauseous. I can't focus.... Need to lie down and grab a sick bowl in case I throw up..... Normally passes after half an hr...

Thank you for replying. I was a bit nervous so I ate 2 x rich tea biscuits and a slice of cheese. I probably didn't need to do this then. I'm on the Lchf way of eating since diagnosis 3 months ago and it's my preferred way of eating now. Mind you, I did walk up and down the garden for 10 minutes...

Hi everyone, My readings have suddenly dropped since I introduced my final 500mg of Sr metformin. Not heard a thing from gp. Tbh, don't think they're interested and never told me what my 'target' would be. My before breakfast bs are about 5.5 and before meals now about 4.3 to 4.7. Is this too...

I've had no advice from my gp.... Just lots of my own research.

I'm lchf too.

Thank you. I didn't take Gliclazide. I started metformin 6 weeks in when levels got to 60. This was consultant advice as no other advice other than to take Gliclazide from my gp. Do people come off metformin if levels go into remission?

I'm still doing lchf. Absolutely. I'm also taking metformin but wonder if I could have done it without meds.

Hi everyone, I need some personal experiences please. I was diagnosed 10 weeks ago T2 and a hba1c of 86. Offered Gliclazide, I refused and started Lchf. 6 weeks later, managed to get them to retest and its 60! Then persuaded (after eye test result revealed some background retinopathy) to take...

Hi, I'm reading your post and it's giving me hope. I'm T2 now for 10 weeks and started at 86, after 6 weeks of lchf diet.... 60 and no meds. At this point I'm persuaded to try metformin. I do wish I had done another 6 weeks of diet now. Wondering if people can stop taking metformin. Not sure if...
