I was backed up for a day or two but that passed last night.

So I was diagnosed two weeks ago, threw myself onto a low carb high fat diet instantly and by last Thursday had lost roughly 12kgs (mostly water weight I know). My usual weigh in day is a Sunday so to keep it scientific I weighed myself again. I was up from 191.2kg on Thursday to 193.4kg on...

I'm new, diagnosed 2 weeks ago and don't self test yet as the thought of more pokes and prods after the year I've had is just too much for me. My opinion is don't beat yourself up for the odd slip up, you're human at the end of the day. We all like things that are bad for us. Me personally...

Feeling a little deflated this morning, Sundays are my chosen in weigh in day, I'd weighed myself early this week because I was excited to see what was happening. So between now and then I've gained 2.3kgs it seems. Not sure what I've done wrong tbh, apart from the zero calories fruit creations...

Fair enough

Is black pudding low carb? Sorry for asking dumb questions

I've only been on the lchf for about 2 weeks now, seems to be going really well so far in terms of weight loss, 12kg lost so far. I'm still drinking these, but once they've gone they're gone, even then I'm only having a glass with my meals, everything else is either green tea or water and I...

Breakfast was 2 eggs fried in olive oil and 4 rashers of bacon. Lunch was lean 150g rump steak and half a portobello mushroom, my appetite disappeared. I've had a slice of ham and am now waiting on a low carb korma.

I'm not quite phobic of needles but after 5 months of daily injections, pokes, prods and pricks the thought of doing anything like checking my bloods fills me with dread. Are there other options?

Hope you guys don't mind me joining in. I'm in my 2nd week since being diagnosed and have lost a good 12kg using a high fat low carb diet. I'm really pleased but have a long way to go yet. I want to lose another 86kgs, currently 191kgs

Ah ****... I thought he may have been on to something with these. I drink a lot and find water very boring. What drinks do you guys recommend that have some flavour but won't effect my blood sugars so much?

Again I apologies So I'm doing my absolute damnedest to stick to a LCHF diet and my future father in law who is also type 2 suggested Robinson fruit creations as a healthy alternative, with no added sugar and personally for me no Aspartame. I guess its okay only having one glass a day but I...

Thanks guys I just found it curious. And I promise I'm not looking to dump the blame on anything else just trying to educate myself.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I was curious if anyone knows if Aspartame can cause type 2 diabetes. I've been diagnosed just over a week and know my blood test had a level of around 32 only 6 months ago, now 56. I absolutely loved fizzy drinks and about 6 months ago decided to...

Sorry accidentally hit send there... Nice lady but didn't really tell me much I wasn't already aware of. She did reduce my meds telling me to skip my lunch time Metformin and I felt so much better in myself yesterday. She does want to keep an eye an eye on my blood pressure though, as it was...

Again thanks for all the advice guys. I got to meet my diabetic nurse yesterday, nice lady

Thank you guys for the warm welcome and information, I will be sure to check out the links. Also wasn't aware of the Greek yogurt or the berries in small amounts. I love strawberries in particular and have been craving something sweet all week. Just hope I can find a good recipe for salt and...

Hi Guys, I was diagnosed type 2 last Thursday and prescribed 500mg Metformin three times a day. I had a score of 56. I'm not surprised I've become diabetic, I've had a rough 12 months. I was savagely attacked at work on fathers day last year, my leg broken in 12 places and now held together...
