I don't think I'll be following him.

My Mum used to do the three course Yorkshires for our family, with sugar sandwiches too, no wonder we have type 2 diabetes

You can I have Moser Roth 85% cocoa chocolate from Aldi.

Answers :- 1) I took myself off them from 3/day to zero over a 12 month period, dropping them one at a time, with colusion with my diabetic nurse, metformin gave me very loose bowel movements and lots of them !! :-( . 2) Dr sent me for ultra sound on a visit for a strained rib as I had been...

Thanks Jim I'm trying to persuade myself to give it a go, thing is I enjoy my breakfast and dinner so missing lunch gives me probably 9 hrs fasting at most and then 13 hrs between dinner and breakfast at most.

I think I'll have to give IF a go, I was diagnosed 12 years ago, started on low carb diet (from 20 to 50 gms carbs/day) 18 months ago, my HBA1c has come down from 66 to 46 and I am off all medication, but my early morning BG figures often as high as 9 !! During the day my levels drop to around...

Thanks for your response, I have a phone app't with Dr this Friday am, only had the ultra sound test last week, bloods seem O.K. Trigs 1.44, HDL 2.1 LDL 2.6, not tested for ALT or GGT, have to see what he says on Friday, lady who did the test pointed out the light clour and said it was fatty...

I had an ultra sound scan a weeek ago and have been diagnosed with an enlarged fatty liver, non alcoholic, I have been on LCHF for nearly two years now HBA1C 44, BMI 20, so thought I was doing OK, had a pain in my back which turned out to be muscular, from throwing weights around but doctor...

Sorry Keesha this doesn't answer your question, but I am guessing that you have high BP and are on LCHF. My blood pressure September 2017 = 120/82, had a blood test last Friday with DN =156/90. I have been on LCHF since September 2017, eating between 20 to 50 gms carbs/day. My BMI is 21, so I...

Big companies also try not to pay in my experience. i.e. I had travel insurance with Allianz ( a huge company), my mother died the night before we were due to go to the Canaries on holiday. I had to cancel the trip and it took the offices of the Ombudsman, lots of phone calls and correspondence...

I really don't know, right or wrong. A nutritionist told me that we don't need carbs at all and that we can live quite happily on fats and protein. I get my carbs pretty much solely from veggies. My energy levels are fine, I run an aerobics class which includes HIIT sessions, tone with weights...

Some people are down to 20 gms carbs/day, and you are right I find 50/day plenty low enough for me, but I have found that this is a level at which my BG numbers range between 5.2 min and 8.0 max when I increase carbs then BG levels increase, so it's been self discovery for me and lots of testing...

I had background retinopathy diagnosed two years ago, last December's test showed Clear, so for me it is at least in remission if not gone altogether, I've also dropped Metformin from 3 per day to zero, HBA1c from 66 to 44 in just over two years, I eat approx 50 gms carbs per day. (With...

I had prostate cancer seven years ago, I didn't have a dribble problem then, but did afterwards, doctor told me I should take at the very least 2 mins to have a pee, I was always in too much of a hurry to wait that long and dribbled! Now take the fully allotted time, no more problems. (Think...

Well done again, this is really good.

Well done but how are BG numbers doing? (so far this info' looks like a weight watchers type announcement).

I'm with you Resurgam, I have gradually dropped down from 3 x 500 Metformin in September,2017 , to zero as from 9/4/2018 HBA1C down from 66 to 49, as far as I can see low carbs + excercise is controlling my blood sugar levels, and reduction in medication has reduced my trips to the loo, which...

I talked with my dn today and she is happy for me to drop metformin altogether when I get below 42.

My dose was increased as my HBA1C levels increased, so I went from diet control to 1 pill/day to 3 pills /day as my HBA1C went from 47 to 54 to 66. My HBA1C has been dropping since September 2017 since eating between 30 to 40 carbs/day so as HBA1C has dropped over time to this last reading of 44...

I'm really in trouble then, eat lots of bacon, ham and Polish sausage to help make up my daily fat quotas :-(
