    Fed up with feeling so tired all the time

    Thanks Guys, Yeh I won't be 'adding' more complex carbs as she suggested, I'm trying to keep my intake at under 20g. I've felt tired this week but I've been at work which is quite full on and stressful at the moment. I think I will get some of the chelated magnesium supplements thanks just...

    Fed up with feeling so tired all the time

    Hey everyone, Thought I'd come on and give a bit of an update.... I'm feeling quite motivated and good, having this week off work has probably helped, but I'd like to think its due to my diet. I have been doing a more keto diet the past few weeks and am hopeful its a change for the better. As...

    Fed up with feeling so tired all the time

    Thanks Nosher, no I haven't tried fasting, not sure it's something I'll be able to do, keeps cropping up on the diet doctor website and I keep meaning to look into it a bit more but haven't got round to it. So I've done well this week and had lots of snacks on hand, I've also not eaten any...

    Fed up with feeling so tired all the time

    Thanks for the welcome back :) The GP did actually pick up on low vitamin D levels a few years ago, not long before I was diagnosed I think. It was very low and I was prescribed tablets, I do remember feeling better and seeing improved skin, but it didn't seem to last. I haven't taken the...

    Reactive Hypoclycemia, acne and low carb

    Thanks for all that info @Brunneria I probably do have some underlying thing as I've had this since I can remember, there must be a cause and yeh I can't fight with the Dr's anymore they don't have a clue, so I can only research and try things for myself. I was once told by a gp that I will...

    Help keeping on track

    Thanks for the welcome, I just can't believe I've suffered with these problems for years, no doctor could give me answers, only referred me on to an endocrinologist after my bs dropped to 2.1 one day. And the advice they have given since has been wrong for me. I'm having to find everything out...
