Sorry, I didn't look to see if they were T1 or T2. I know nothing about T1!

I had a similar problem. I discovered that I need to keep the carbs in each meal to below 10, ideally below 8 and I don't get spikes.

A vegetarian diet is healthier for you and the planet.

Anyone done this? I'd love to share ideas, support etc. I'm just starting out. Week 1. Full support from my medicals. It's a tough start.

I am posting this to forewarn others so you don't make the same mistake I did. This company provides spice mixes to use when cooking at home. https://www.simplycook.com/account The meals I've cooked have been tasty and quick. But they use a VERY high level of sugars and sweeteners like glucose...

Are you planning to come to Gloucester or Bristol? We have a low carb group meeting in the Stroud District and would love to have a chance to reach out to a wider pool of people affected by either T1 or 2.

Great result! Evidence of your hard work. I also got a 36 this year after 3 months folliwong a low carb regime. So came off metformin and tried to continue however... I was overcone with a sense of achievement that led me to abandon my discipline and up went my BG readings! I've been too...

Yes. Sorry, I got his name wrong. We had pur intro session last night. He was so good and so was Collette, the facilitator. There are still spaces on the course which will start in October. Sent from my CUBOT_NOTE_S using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

GL11 Community Hub is piloting an 8 week course for Type 2 diabetics. Its aim is to support people to learn how to make long term changes in how we live and adopt healthy lifestyle habits so we can manage our condition, stay healthy and minimise the use of medication. The focus will be on...

I have the second problem with beans, especially chickpeas. They send my bg way up. I have to go very easy with quantities. Black beans are best. Lentils are off as is and hummous. Loads of veg and salad is working for me.

Follow up to my opening post. I saw the DN yesterday. She was pleased and I came off Metformin. I'm going back for another HbA1c in 3 months to see how well I'm managing with diet alone. She said if I continue managing my diet she will expect an average reading of 7.5 mmol. On Metformin I'm...

Absolutely fantastic! I'm having the same results as you. Low carb is absolutely the way to go. I am now drug free and managing my type 2 with diet and exercise. It has taken me 4 years to find the right life regime and attitude to manage this disease. Isn't it a great relief!

Just been to the Doc for the results of my HbA1c test. It was a piddling little 38 which she said is a good reading for a person without diabetes. I'm over the moon about this. Last year it was 98. The low carb diet is REALLY working. I'm so so happy. Thankyou to everyone here and the 10...

6. At 6am.FBG seems very volatile. This is one of the better ones today.

Started low carb just over 3 weeks ago. I weighed 99.9kg. Last Saturday I weighed in at 94.8kg. I'm pleased with my umpteenth good start but hoping this time I can sustain it. Last year I lost 13kg and put half back on so I'm moving towards my best weight loss mark again. Ho hum. But low carb is...

Your recipe has my partner drooling!

What level of fats and protein should I be aiming for each day? I've recently started low carb diet, aiming to stay below 100g pd and I've cut out grains, potatoes and other carby veg. etc. All my carbs now come from vegetable sources and legumes. I eat meat, fish, beans and dairy. About 8-10...

I completely agree. Mental and emotional challenge to change is what I find the hardest. Incorporating exercise into daily routine has been hugely successful. I took redundancy from teaching and set up as a self employed gardener this year. It keeps fit if poorer but what a difference this...

I've recently read this book and also find it an interesting read. We enjoy some of the recipes too. I bought some of the supplements to slow down carb processing but haven't been taking them yet...... so I can't say if they're effective. I doubt I would know if they were working anyway...
