I'd follow what these guys say - LCHF does work. Though I will note something, too. When you first start low carbing, follow it through - there's something, which if I remember correctly, is called a Low Carb Honeymoon - during which weight will tumble, but when you go off it, the weight loss is...

Just read this... And have been wondering why the heck my sleep has been so bloody awful. I'm on Statins, do they really cause insomnia (I know, I mean, is insomnia a vside effect...?)

Given that there's supposed to be an epidemic of Diabetes in the UK, you'd think that doctors & nurses in hospitals would have at least some diabetes knowledge - or perhaps a central contact team who DID have!

Well, I did have the aubergine instead of pasta - and it really worked well... really tasty. But so was the cheesy pasta... I must admit to trying a couple of forks, just to make sure there was enough cheese in! Today, omelette and cheese, coffee Lunch - the very last of the braised oxtail (Can...

I want to be treated like I'm NOT a problem... Even by a Doctor who is supposed to be the practice expert. I know the dangers of high bg levels and need help in bringing them down - NOT "You're at an age where you'll suffer an episode. I've seen it happen" I would go more often if I wasn't so...

Hi there Ickihun - Just read your post... I've suffered the shoulder thing, ended up with a frozen shoulder. I'm NOT wanting to add to your troubles,,, Just keep a eye out for reduced mobility - gentle exercise will help (but a frozen shoulder hurts like a B'STRD!) On other stuff - I don't know...

Good Question! I'd like to know that as I'm having it as a savoury element in morning omelettes. I'd also recommend walnuts and/or pecans as tasty snacks thatkeep you going while lunch

Oh I see, I asked because I had a chest infection and cold 4 weeks ago and my bg is still over 10 most of the time no matter how good my diet is. Doctor said to just be patient and that it can take quite a while to go down. It's all so exhausting and worrying :banghead: I've cooked the...

Notned - we don't buy sauces - I tend to make them, as I've never really liked not knowing what I eat - My Dad was a chef. I love to cook, I relax by cooking - Infuriate my partner with the pan use, sometimes though!!!

The only thing is, the rice I had was the first time I've had any in months, I've discovered butternut squash, which I can fry, or roast with plenty of garlic and rosemary, I eat plenty of veggies. I had sourdough for breakfast the other day. The rest of the time I'm eating omelettes, or an...

Thanks for the thread opening... No, as the Dr, though the practice specialist, is all about the medication, rather than me doing something... Catch-22, eh? I eat low carb (mostly). I've just scored 20 and that's after a brisk lunchtime walk! I had home-made pork ribs with a sauce made of tomato...

Hi Chris - you sound just like me. Now! I was diagnosed about 10 years ago, too - just before my 40th Birthday - I've just turned 50. My Gran,(lived well into her 90s) Mum & Dad all had diabetes and it killed them in their early 70s - so its in the blood (sorry for the pun!) My bloods are not...

I'm a long term T2 - diagnosed just before my 40th Birthday (I've just turned 50) a few months before my Mum died of diabetic complications... I've always been on the high-side - I think my lowest reading was about a 5, after a lot of hard work! Now I'm three stones lighter, 14.5 St, I stand at...

Hi there - the UK version, if you can think of it that way is from Dr Micheal Mosley thefastdiet.co.uk/‎ This came out of a BBC documentary, last year. Speak with your Doctor about it may well be the most common theme you'll hear on here... I'd recommend Mosley's book & if you can catch the...

Yorksman - Thank you... I'm yet to understand fully the sciencey bits of diabetes. It's enough to get your head around the complexities of carbohydrates - working full time doesn't help, either. You need a blooming medical Phd to get anywhere close to understanding it all... Which isn't helped...
