I was eating about 200g before I have got down to 100g eating lchf this week but I'm sure it made me ill. Sorry I didn't mean 15g, silly phone. I meant 150. How low are your carbs and do you eat high fat? Thanks for the link.

Thank you. I don't have a meter as my gp said my hba1c was fine at 40. Even though I was worried he wasn't. I have anxiety so I think blood testing myself would just become a habit and something to worry about lol. All of this has made me have health anxiety for sure. My gp just wants to test...

Brilliant advice, thank you. This week I did lchf all week. Carbs halved to 100g. My fatigue hit around 80, down from about 40. Protein high battery 90 plus. I felt so ill by Thursday. I've gone back to more carbs to see if I feel better but I know I need to reduce them. If I reduce to 15mg...

Thank you so much. I did lchf for 5 days and felt so ill. Is it possible to just reduce carbs without going too low? Can that benefit a hba1c result and lower it? My carbs were about 100g a day this week, fat around 80 and protein 90 or above. Very different to my usual diet. I eat well but...

Well I did the lchf all week and felt very unwell by Thursday. Weak and fatigued beyond belief and I have cfs. I felt so poorly and my head was throbbing. I've increased my carbs to see if I feel better which I am slowly. I'd cut my carbs to 100g fat around 80 and protein was 90 ish a day...

So I bought the book The Great Cholesterol Con. Had a little read through. Can't say I agreed with alot of what he said. He mentioned FH. I couldn't understand what he was saying about it, but he did say something about 5 year olds dying from chd. Well this alarmed me. My uncle at 51 had a...

Hello. I posted on the intro board earlier this week. I am not diabetic but my HBA1C was 38 in September and 40 in December which caused me concern. I have no family history and I am 36, 116lb female, I do yoga and i thought a good diet. My cholesterol results were high which alarmed me but...

Thank you Lindy.

Thank you so much. I just bought the Great Cholesterol Con for 99p on kindle. I shall give it a read. So are the plant sterol drinks a bad idea? I have been drinking those for a few months.

Thank you. I hope so. Maybe i have just been eating way too many carbs as I was unwell and eating easy things I could grab. I am hoping it's just a case of lowering my carbs and things will get better.

Thank you. Yes I've been concerned as my gp told me to go low fat to get my cholesterol down. My LDL and triglycerides where both high. I read about the LCHF diet and have been trying to follow it but concerned eating fats incase I am damaging my cholesterol even more. I've found it very...

Great news. My hba1c is almost pre diabetes. My cholesterol is 6.9. My LDL and triglycerides are both high. I'm considering the LCHF diet to help my sugar levels but hight fat worries me. Can I ask how you get your fats? And when is your go re testing your cholesterol and hba1c? I can't wait...

Thank you. My gp said he didn't know why i was worried because 40 is normal range. I think I was worried as it was 38 3 months earlier. My gp says he will test annually and the same for my cholesterol. He wasn't concerned about my cholesterol t my age but I know triglycerides are dangerous if...

Thank you for your help. My gp said under 42 is non diabetic. 42-48 is pre diabetic so he told me at 40 I am fine. At the time I had that test I was eating alot of carbs. I'm trying a low carb high boat diet and hitting around 100g carbs a day. But I am worried all the coconut oil, full fat...

Hello. I'm a 36 year old female. 5ft and 116lbs. I had tests in September for diabetes due to fatigue (turns out my thyroid is subclinical hypothyroid). My hba1c was 38. In December I was unwell with stress, my son was being bullied and was suicidal. Life was hell taking care of my son crippled...
