Is it normal to get slight palpitations after eating in first stages of LCHF diet? And feeling lethargic? It hit me today!

Thank you :)

Thanks Eddie, I've read your reply a few times - has really helped when my mind is spiraling out of control :) x

Well my doctor has agreed for me to try to sort myself with lifestyle changes and no meds for the time being. My blood pressure and cholesterol were quite high though but shes happy to see me again in 6 weeks. She's also booking me onto a course and the DN will be in touch too. I've got glucose...

Thanks, I will. I am still confused as to why the blood test they did came back as normal but a few days later the hbA1c came back as diabetic.

Thanks for your reply tigerlily72. I'm seeing my Doc on Tuesday and hope she doesnt push meds on me. Fidning the low carb diet pretty good and starting to feel better already :) I was under the imopression that a HBa1C reading of less than 48 was pre-diabetes? Did you have a higher reading...

Thanks to all for the replies and helpful information. I am so grateful for all the support and information i have been given on this forum. If I had only the NHS info to hand I don't think I'd be feeling as confident as i do that I can sort this. 2 days into the low carb diet and its not too...

Me again!!! Having just been diagnosed with T2 Diabetes, does the fact that I am menopausal have any bearing on the condition or the LCHF and fasting diets or any medication I may have to take. I also read that Vitamin D deficiency can cause T2 and I was deficient earlier in the year but am now...

Good point Geoff and thanks for your welcoming words. I am feeling pretty scared but part of me is grateful for the warning and the chance to turn my life around. i hate feeling ill and being overweight. Hopefully this is my wake up call. Just want ot do it right and I'm pretty sure that I need...

So if your blood sugar level moves down to normal levels are you then clased as cured? Obviously having to keep up with diet and excercise regime

Annieok, look up Jason a Fung on youtube. He talks about curing diabetes and it really helped to calm me down. Was only diagnosed yesterday and still coming to terms!

Brilliant, thanks so much, this is great stuff. I am finding it quite astonsihing that the NHS/GP's are so happy to just give out meds and insulin and only promise a lfietime of this condition. Even the Diabetic nurse is advising a low fat diet, not low carb, incredible.

Many thanks for you advice. I have spent the last day trawling the internet and agree with what you say - Diet and excercise can sort this. I just need to get my head around it but it maybe a blessing in disguise as I hate being fat and feeling unwell. Hoping this will give me a better...

Thank you Becky, Must be scary for you too. I'm back at Docs next week and have been researching loads - Knowledge is power :) Take Care

I was told today that i have a 49 result on the blood test which makes me diabetic. How does my doctor know if I'm type 1 or 2. She says that I am most likely to be type 2 and wants to prescribe 2 types of medication. How do you know which you have? I want to deal with this with diet and...
