Hi, It sounds as if you are an ardent noodle and pasta lover. Have you tried a more healthy alternative by getting a spiralizer and using courgettes to make a noodle-like vegetable alternative? It tastes really good, takes minutes to prepare and is great with all sorts of dishes including...

Hi I purchased a 2in1 Smart Glucose Monitor to go with my iPad and I want to confirm how accurate it is. The problem is that although the user guide mentions the 2in1 Smart control solution to go with it I can't seem to find anyone who sells it. Has anyone else got this meter? Has anyone else...

Amazing results - well done. It is so inspiring to hear about achievements like this and it thoroughly endorses the LCHF approach. Well done also for not bowing to the medical "experts" who just want to pump you full of drugs at the first sign of high blood glucose. I had exactly the same...

Hi Maggie, There is a website called Smiling Mind which gives you access to meditation downloads which could help you to relax. https://smilingmind.com.au/ It is free to join and then you can access all the programmes on the site. The course is very well constructed and I found my fellow...

Well done on your results although from what you say your success has not hit home with you because of your depression. Having suffered depression myself I think that the counselling could, in time, guide you to look at your situation from a different perspective rather than spiraling into...

Hi all, Thanks again for your insights and thoughts. I will keep testing pre and post prandially as Lamont D suggests so that I can work out which foods to avoid and see how it goes until my next HbA1c. Will let you know how I get on.

Wow lots of thoughts! Thank you so much for answering my query. So it seems that I have a possible combination of dawn phenomenon and stress/nervous adrenaline glucose rush. Is there any way to stop the liver from dumping glucose into my bloodstream at dawn or should I just ignore these...

Hi, Just had my blood results after 3-4 months on the LCHF diet and I'm a bit confused. My HbA1c was 6.1 which translates to an average of 109 mg/dl (a bit higher actually than last time at 6.0). However my fasting glucose count was way higher at 131mg/dl. This was taken at 8.30am. The last...

Thanks Brunneria. I live in Cyprus and the doctor was only at my surgery for two weeks over from the UK. She is a diabetes specialist and has close ties with this site, she told me. How lucky was that! Sounds like you are doing well too. Good luck and keep up the good work! :)

About 5 weeks ago I posted a thread on this site saying "confused over conflicting advice". I had just been told by my doctor that I was T2 diabetic. I had no symptoms and had undergone a simple yearly health check. Needless to say this came as quite a shock. She went on to say that I must...

Thank you. You already have made it easier just by being there. :happy:

So, I went to see the diabetic specialist doctor today and she was a strong proponent of the low carb, high fat diet approach to managing blood glucose levels, which was a great boost. She was very helpful, explained everything very clearly to me. She confirmed that with my readings I am at...

Hey well done on your results. It gives me hope to hear a success story like yours. Keep up the good fight. :)

Thank you all so much for your caring replies. By the way chalup and daisy1 - just love those kittens as I'm a real cat person. Yes I will read all the information you have sent to me with these links and will be prepared for my appointment tomorrow. Will get back to the forum after that to...

Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies and advice. I can see that I'll have to do my homework on all this and just see what works for me. I have an appointment on Monday with a diabetes specialist doctor so I will see what she says and get back to you. PS can stress play a part in all of this...

Hi, I have just gone through an annual health check which revealed a glucose (fasting) result of 142 mg/dl and a few days later an HbA1c result of 6.0. My doctor has diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes and wanted to put me on medication. However everywhere I read about these tests it tells me...
