    2019/20 Football season

    Interesting to hear your perspective on it. I am hugely biased as well as I’m desperate to see football but obviously I wouldn’t want to put anyone at too high of a risk. But risk is everywhere and footballers will be afforded much more protection than the general public. Stay safe mate

    2019/20 Football season

    I’m glad they are trying to restart and I believe they will have in place some decent protocols to ensure high levels of safety for the players involved at the top level of the professional game. Of course, nothing is guaranteed here. They may crash whilst driving to the ground or they may...

    3 days in

    Welcome mate! Hope you’re feeling ok. I’m about 12 weeks in since diagnosis. Been a rocky ride so far but my highlights..... Lost a good 12/13kgs and counting. Diet has been very easy - so much great stuff you can eat! Test, test and test again - test blood sugar before a meal and two hours...

    Is this RH?

    I’ve found that since going low carb, high fat.... I’m not even hungry anymore. Especially in the mornings. I can easily fast until around 1-2pm. I would never had thought I could feel this way and obviously it is hard to give up things I have loved for so long. My point being, you have to...

    Has anyone noticed a drop in blood glucose levels after giving up Diet Coke?

    Doesn’t surprise me. The advent of artificial sweeteners and sugar replacements over the last many decades has done precisely nothing in solving the obesity or diabetes epidemic. They are best avoided if you can. I used to drink loads of Diet Coke and Coke Zero. I loved it. But am glad to have...

    Type 2 Alpro Coconut milk

    I’ve only found one version of this product thus far. Is it alpro the one you refer to? Edit: I’ve found it. Thank you I will try and find some way to buy it! I hope it is doing some good!

    Type 2 Alpro Coconut milk

    Hi all, I started drinking this milk, in the hope that it would help replace lost electrolytes from low carb diet. Someone kindly recommended that to me. Now, i realises that perhaps the coconut milk I should be having is the stuff you find in tins and not in the fridge in shops. Does anyone...

    Hi, newly diagnosed Type 2

    Totally agree with you. Shocked by the blase nature of doctor coupled with zero advice or following care. Coronavirus notwithstanding, the diabetes pandemic has been happening for many decades.

    Newly diagnosed Type 2

    Welcome! Glad to hear you are already in the right path! I only diagnosed about 6/7 weeks ago and thanks to this forum I feel I am headed in the right direction. Already lost well over a stone in weight. Diet is now going well thanks to the advice from here.... no thanks to the doctors!!!!! I...

    Not enough data yet

    So true. And the diabetes seems to be mentioned a lot today in UK news. In particular the reports that covid-19 is having a disproportionate effect on black and south Asian sufferers. They implied that could be down to higher levels of diabetes in that community. A lot of unknowns and very...

    Knew and Know Nothing

    Wow, thank you for that reply, really appreciate it. My doctor did highlight I was slightly low in vitamin d.... Also that I was anaemic.... but he didn’t offer me any advice or treatment to solve it. Metformin and 45-60% carbs per meals was the suggestion which I’m have since found to be...

    Hello, may I ask how you solved the vitamin d deficiency and to what extent that affected your anxiety levels? Thanks
