Thank you. I'm trying to cut my carbs slower this time starting at 150g. I dropped below 100 from 200g and felt very fatigued and ill but of course not everyone reacts this way. I am not trying to put anyone odd lchf it was just my experience. Also eating eggs and full fat dairy just didn't fit...

I was always mostly vegetarian until recently, I ate some tuna and salmon, but mostly ate veggie meals. Never been an issue. I had a HBA1C in September due to fatigue and it was 38, in December it was 40. I was going through a period of high stress as my son was ill. I was living off toast and...

Thank you so much. Well I was a veggie then went back to fish and chicken. I've always wanted to go fully vegan but now I'm trying to eat mainly plant based but maybe still eating salmon twice a week for health reasons. I've given up eggs because of my high cholesterol. I am missing dairy but...

Hello I want to go back ton following a vegan plant based diet. I was doing this previously and felt well but after my hba1c was 40 (gp said all ok no need to diet change as I walk going through immense stress at the time ) and cholesterol high. I decided to go on a lchf diet but I felt...

Thank you for your help :-) I just hope this high fat isn't damaging to my already high cholesterol.

That's reassuring. I'd like to try lchf again but not keen on how ill I felt doing it. I felt so fatigued and weak.

OK. Breakfast- Low carb oats. 300 oats, 22nd flaxseed, 22nd chia seeds, 30pml almond milk and blueberries. I put some full fat Fage on top. Snack - babybel. Lunch - omelette with mushrooms, spinach and cherry tomatoes. Or tuna with veggies with a dollop of full fat soured cream. Snack -...

Thank you. Very helpful. It's only high fat that concerns me due to high cholesterol. Right to try and do this diet without feeling ill again is the challenge.

Great thank you so a veggie diet night not be as high carb as I thought. I shall do some more doest research as I'd like to stay veggie. The only carbs I was eating that weren't from veg were glrej free bread and brown rice pasta. I've cut out bread altogether now. I will limit the brown rice...

Thank you. I have health anxiety due to all my tests being off so testing my own sugars would freak me out I'm sure lol. My gp says he will only test me annually u less I develop symptoms. So I can't get it tested every 3 months. I have asked and they tell me 40 is fine and there is no need...

I meant normal not moral. Silly phone.

Thank you. I've tied 2 Gps anxiety both said I had nothing to worry about with a high thyroid result. High cholesterol and high end of moral hba1c. I've been made to feel like a hypochondriac lol!

Thank you that's really reassured me. He said my LDL was 3.9 so only slightly raised. I'm not being tested for FH but nor have my mum or sisters they just have cholesterol testing like I do. I hope this is ok. You've really helped. Thank you.

Thank you. I certainly felt like I had a virus I felt awful. Yes I love beans. I make chickpeas roasted or my own hummus and I make chilli with kidney beans but I've been afraid to eat them incase they're too carb rich.

Brilliant. Thank you. I really want to reduce my carbs.I certainly did feel fuller eating high fat low carb this week. I just feel very concerned with my high cholesterol is it safe to eat fatsome. I worry alot. I may have FH which is anot inherited cholesterol problem.so I fear eating fats...

Hi At the time my hba1c was 40 in was going through a very stressful time. My son was being bullied and felt suicidal. It was awful seeing him like that and I became ill with stress. I was eating toast, oven chips and oatibix. I usually have a very healthy diet but I became so ill with fatigue...

I have no advice but just wanted to send strength and I pray your daughter is well soon. Big hugs to you.

Thank you I agree about carbs. If I cut down 1 meal a day no carbs other than from vegetables. Try to keep snacks low carb and eat mainly my carbs from oats at lunch and a carb with dinner is that enough,? I find it hard to go full blown low carb. Yes for now I will avoid testing my own...

Thank you. Yes I saw on my form pre diabetes is 42-48 and my gp said I'm fine but I'm still concerned.

In September I saw my gp about fatigue. My thyroid was tested and I have a high tsh of 7.51 but FT4 is normal at 15.8 so my gp says I don't need treatment. He tested my hba1c and it was 38. My finger prick test 30 minutes after eating was 9.2 which terrified me but my gp said 38 is fine and I...
