I’ve just looked them up, they do look very similar

Ooh, I haven’t heard of them, please tell me more. Where do you get them from?

This is a really interesting post. I’m a type 2 with insulin resistance, my GP has referred to it as metabolic disorder. It’s my weight that’s the problem - I carry it all around on my tummy. I’ve lost 3 stone in the last year. Blood sugars haven’t improved at all. Glad I’m not the only one...

just thought I would let everyone know I have had and very much enjoyed some low carb noodles from Lidl. 5g carbs per half pack. They were in the refrigerated section and looked and tasted very much like fresh egg noodles. They are actually made from fish but you would never know. Made a lovely...

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone else has been to the insulin resistance clinic at Addenbrookes? My local hospital have referred me there as we know I am producing twice the amount of insulin I need. Despite losing 3 stone, eating low carb and exercising regularly the blood sugars won’t...

hi, A little bit about me , I was diagnosed type 2 aug 2014. Been on various meds, currently on metformin, gliclazide, trulicity and humulin I insulin. Try to LCHF with no more than 50g carbs per day. I exercise regularly. my gp has come to the conclusion that I’m very insulin resistant. I’ve...

Many Thanks Seacrow, I have a GP appointment on Monday to discuss it. Its odd that the GP said the results were abnormal where I viewed them online. Part of me will be relieved not to have it, but the other part of me wanted a positive diagnosis so I knew what was going on.

I've recently had a dexamethasone suppression test for cushings… anyone under stand the results of <11nmol/L (185.0 - 624.0) is it a high or low reading for cortisol? I know most of you guys aren't medically trained, but I'm struggling to find any info regarding levels online.

I was on victoza for around 6 months, I do have a bit of a sensitive tum but I never felt nauseous. Instead I had every gastric problem possible that varied on a day to day basis.

Thank you, can you buy it in the supermarkets, or do you get it online.

I had a C-peptide test around a year ago, 1769pmol\L.... Not sure how high or low that figure is, but my GP said it was ok.

Glad I'm not the only one who has failed with coconut and almond flour :rolleyes:

Thank you so much for your reply. I've definitely decided to give the Orlistat a miss for the time being. Since October - I have got fitter by going to the gym, but no weight loss. My blood sugars for the last couple of weeks have been 15 - 25 as you all know way above where they should be...

Thankyou so much, I'm going to have a good look at what I can do.

Its a diabetic dietician, I'm hoping for some help to get some weight off. To be honest I'm desperate for some sort of help to lower my blood sugars and lose some weight. I also hope she might understand LCHF. I'm struggling as I've stuck to 50g of carbs a day on LCHF since October and...

Thanks Energize, Think you have hit the nail on the head.... I tell my GP and nurse I'm LCHF and they tell me to eat carbs! Grrrr I will continue LCHF.

You are correct about the drug! The counterintuitive bit is why I asked the question. :) I have an appointment with a dietician in a couple of weeks and will find out where she wants me to go from there. Thankyou.

Many thanks for this Brassyblonde900, I have considered fasting, but I haven't quite got there yet. I think its something I need to put my mind to. Ive never heard of Carnivore WOE, but i will certainly look into it.

Hi there, has anyone who is LCHF been prescribed Orlistat? I’m worried about how suitable it is? Any experiences please.

I had a cpeptide test around a year ago and I’m still producing insulin. When I was at the hospital, the team decided I was very insulin resistant.
