Take your point @bulkbiker but lets remember the good bits as well as the not so perfect elements of NHS care

Very helpful thank you @There is no Spoon. I think the 'high fat' does spook some people especially if they have associated cholesterol issues so 'healthy' fat woks for me :) I recall when new to diagnosis reading posts on here about Bullet Proof coffee and when I looked up the recipe I felt...

Thanks @Mbaker, I like the 'Healthy' fat branding much better than 'High' fat :)

Thanks @Brunneria, just thinking the seeking 'High Fat' message isn't quite correct, it's more don't unduly worry about the fat content

Hi, LCHF is promoted on this forum and with excellent results but I was just wondering why does the fat content have to be high? As a T2 I struggle to tolerate sugar and carbs so this is what needs to be addressed, not sure why I need to seek to increase fats over and above those naturally...

I'm not a fan of the GP / DNS bashing element of this forum but then everyone I guess is basing it on their own experiences. My experience of both is good (my DNS still wants me to eat porridge which I ignore but some T2's are ok with it so I'll let her have that one) The nutrition guidance...

Mine's a similar story, shock T2 diagnosis - forum - low carb - lose weight - better numbers, sounds simple but as we all know it is not! ....and on-going maintenance is now the focus. Good that you are Med free :) my DNS said that we'd talk about coming off Metformin in the new year.

Thank you @jayney27 Your numbers are pretty **** good! keep it up

Thank you @sandypath and glad that you have taken the leap and posted on a what is a very helpful forum. You've done great with your approach and it shows in your results :)

Thank you @Sprocket 2 keep the positive outlook and you'll be fine :)

Thank you!

Interesting thread, I'm on Metformin 2 x 500mg per day since March this year and have drunk alcohol on a social basis as per pre diagnosis and haven't noticed any issues. Does anyone know if lactic acidosis is something that someone would suffer early on in their treatment with Metformin if...

@Moggely if the forum's not for you leave, no need to make scene

Like @rhubarb73 I'm new to the forum and new to diagnosis, this is perhaps the most disappointing thread I've come across

Hi @Debandez, I personally prefer 'c) Controlled' with my latest HbA1c being 40. Remission also makes sense as a term because it suggests a current state rather than cured.

Thank you @Kentoldlady1 Great find. The positive sharing ethos of this forum is commendable:)

Thanks @Ian_Laye never thought to look for sugar free ketchup, assumed I would do without or just occasionally in those 'what the hell' moments

The non-seeded Hovis one is the most bread like low carb option I've tried but it had pretty much the same effect as standard bread on my blood sugar. Shame because it really was a great bacon sandwich! maybe the ketchup I added wasn't a good idea!?... I plan to try it again sometime as if...

I'd say a win too considering you had two slices. not tried this one myself as I tend to have the Hi-Lo bread that Sainsbury's stock which is 5g of carb per slice. I have one slice toasted out of the freezer with butter for breakfast when I've had enough of egg & bacon etc. or running short of...

You got your timing right this year with the weather!:)
