Aren't we so lucky to live in a democracy - I have been following this thread with interest. Great to see so much passion and, in the end, people will vote with their heads and hearts tomorrow and, whatever the result, democracy will have won and we will all have to accept the decision and see...

Breakfast: berries, yoghurt & flaxseed Lunch: low carb roll with corned beef Dinner: tonight I tried the fathead pizza from dietdoctor.com - never thought I could eat pizza again, but this was just like the real thing. For the topping I used mushrooms, pepperoni and red pepper. Accompanied by...

Hi @alunke82 , sorry to hear about your problems. Not wanting to "diagnose" you, but you did mention a tick bite. This can lead to Lyme Disease which can cause excessive urination and many other symptoms. Have you been checked for this?? Perhaps @Freema may be able to translate and guide you...

Hi @lindiloo62 - a good place to start low carb is on this website. If you go to the home page you can click on Join the Low Carb Programme which takes you through each week giving tips and recipe ideas. I did this and then moved on to further lowering the carbs on the dietdoctor.com website...

They are a really good bunch this year aren't they? Was sorry to see Anita leave, but great to see Steve back on top. Love Giovanna and Saliha too - hope they all do well tonight, I wouldn't like to have to choose.

For breakfast today - the usual berries, full fat yoghurt and flaxseed Lunch was cheese omelette Dinner was Dietdoctor recipe for Chicken Caesar Salad (second recipe I have tried from the website and it was delish!)

Well done @SuzyQ2 on what you have achieved. I do love a success story - inspires us all!

Hi @Henry126 and welcome to the forum. It takes a while to absorb all the information you will find on this site - but it is worth the effort as it pays dividends in the long run. We are all individuals and there are many different diet options to choose from. It is good that you are testing...

Hi @steph81170 - I would suggest arrowroot it has 13g carbs per 100g but you don't have to use very much to thicken sauces,

For breakfast - berries and yoghurt with flaxseed Lunch - corned beef sandwich with bergen bread and a few nuts Dinner - the diet doctor's low carb meat pie and green salad. (was really nice) Had plenty of exercise mowing the lawns and gardening in the beautiful sunshine - all in all a pretty...

An absolutely disgraceful and unnecessary way to deal with a person. If it were anywhere else they would get the sack, it's so depressing when this sort of thing happens. It seems that some in the admin department forget that they are dealing with real human beings who have been through quite...

Hi @Providence 62 I can understand exactly how you feel. 3 years ago my beloved Dad died and a few days later my elder brother had a couple of mini strokes that put him in hospital. I also had the task of arranging the funeral and dealing with probate - my brother had to go in for an op on his...

I found this very interesting and what left the most lasting impression was the importance of avoiding grain and sugars, can't argue with that. Also his point on triglycerides made good sense to me, so overall it rather enforces the appeal of the low carb diet and the avoidance of...

Hi @john ag - sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I had to read your post a couple of times just to make sure I had read it right - you have lost 10 stones in a year!!! that is a phenomenal amount to lose. Have you stabilised now or are you still losing? Also are you on meds at all? Hope...

Hello @Dooley-Bird and welcome to this fantastic forum. I have found it really helpful in gaining awareness about how I can control my type 2, and am constantly learning even after 3+ years. Be prepared to do a lot of reading, and then try and find out what suits you best as there are a lot of...

Hi @h884 I have been on Dapagliflozin (Forxiga)for 6 months which I believe is similar - being an SLGT2 inhibitor as well. I have not had any side effects so far. I would recommend adopting a fairly low carb intake (not too drastic though) which will help to prevent thrush outbreaks (I keep...

Hello @Oldandbold - Brace yourself!!! You will soon receive a swathe of good advice from this wonderful forum. You have made a good start in cutting out the sweet stuff and exercising more. To achieve even better results you will probably need to reduce your carb intake somewhat - you may...

Hi @sunflower27 - my thyroid is borderline underactive now - it was finally resolved about 15 years ago with radioactive iodine after years of yo-yoing with meds. I was allergic to carbimazole so went on to propylthiouracil. Sometimes the thyroid returns to normal after medication, but...

I can empathise with you @sunflower27 I was diagnosed with Graves disease about 25 years ago and lost 3 stone in weight without trying and felt constantly hungry despite consuming plenty of food. I remember feeling pretty crotchety too. I had a bg level of 33.3 when diagnosed with type 2 and...
