Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I guess a bit of experimentation wont hurt. Could try a bit of resistance training...never thought of that. I forgot to mention I can only increase fats to a certain extent due to no gallbladder but 12/12 maybe a happy medium too.

Does anyone has any advice whether fasting is detrimental if you are a low weight to begin with. I am interested in 16/8 to reduce morning blood glucose readings but dont want to lose weight. Current BMI 20. Thank you!

Those are great numbers. Would be interesting to know how you get on. What are your recent hba1c?

Would sound a sensible plan if that's what you're prescribed. Your next blood tests will show if this can be reduced down and maybe stopped altogether if your numbers drop enough. Wishing you all the best

Sorry about your diagnosis, I think for most of us it was quite a shock but as soon as you realise there are positive things you can do it will get easier. I'm fairly new in my journey, diagnosed earlier this year but there are lots of people here who I'm sure will offer you some great advice...

Impressive results, hope I can keep it up that long. What foods were you referring to when you said moderate carbs that you grew up on? Really interesting!

Very Very true! I'm sure I'll get a bit better at finding a wider range recipes as time goes on. Well done on getting your family onboard!

I had gallstones a few years before diabetes diagnosis, had to avoid fat then as it set off symptoms seriously. Will probably depend on extent of your gallstones, whether lots of small ones or a big one. Unfortunately I increased carbs so I could eat enough and now I'm diabetic It is likely a...

Great achievement, well done! It's always an encouragement to hear success stories as having diabetes is such a rollercoaster at times

Sorry about your concerns. It feels scary when you kind of know what your own diagnosis may be. I'm not a doctor or nurse but am a HCP too and diagnosed type 2 earlier this year. There are lots of lovely people on this site who will be able to tell you their success stories and help. I reduced...

Thankyou for replying, I'll keep going and hopefully speak to gp when covid settles down

Hello Everyone, I was newly diagnosed as type 2 in Feb 2020. Thanks to you all on this site I was able to pick up tips right from the beginning so hba1c 54 in Jan 20, 47 in Feb, 40 in April. As I am small current bmi 21 (23 in Jan) I've never had to worry too much about weight and so never...
