I drink loads of water but lack of salt is a possibility so will watch that. I don't feel a trip to A&E is necessary as my old ticker has always been reasonably strong so am not too worried about that, and if it's not, then I suppose I won't be around long enough to worry about diabetes!!!. I...

I thought about doing a test last night but felt too giddy so changed my mind. What you have said actually makes sense, I will see how I feel over the next few days.

Many thanks everyone, I appreciate your advice. I must admit that it scared me a little and I wondered if the way I felt meant that I was doing myself more harm then good. You have put my mind at rest so I guess it is onward and upward to a healthier me ( eventually )

Many thanks, I have been on the lchf diet since 8th Jan but it's only this week that I have a dropped to 10g carbs so yes the shock symptoms make sense for the big drop in carbs. I will also try the oxo drink before bed as I have stopped all food after about 7ish after the evening meal in an...

Am I being too extreme. I am trying very hard to lose weight and avoid my pre diabetes getting worse. I am trying to keep my food as 65% fat, 25% protein and 10% carbs +/- however for the last couple of nights I have woken feeling really ill. I sleep until about midnight and then wake with a...

I am grateful to you all for your advice, I think maybe getting my sleep sorted will be a good starting point. I'm sure my diet is more or less correct but the weight is a bit solid so will take an effort to get is moving. I have followed advice from Bulkbiker and today cut out brekkie and just...

No it is made from Almonds with no soya

I am 75 so this is not my excuse any more.......

I drink loads, I dog walk around 2.5 miles a day, however as the weather improves this should be more like 4 miles, I must admit I don't sleep well though, I seem to just have cat naps all night. I don't think I have had a good nights sleep for years. I still work full time so I should be tired...

Yes I could easily swap my lunchtime coffee with my egg meal ( breakfast is usually around 10.30am as I am still too full from the night before to eat any earlier) then coffee/ cream around 2.30 and then as mentioned dinner around 6.30. I will try having a coffee & cream in the am 10.30ish, then...

Many thanks for your answers. I really don't think I could up my calories as I am so full all the time that it would be impossible to eat more. I only have 2 proper meals a day, breakfast ( 2 eggs or kippers as main part) at lunchtime usually a coffee with fresh cream or a few blueberries with...

I have been on the LCHF diet since 8th Jan when I was diagnosed with pre diabetes ( blood test 45) At first I lost 2.5kg easily and thought 'cracked it' re the weight loss. Since then I have stayed exactly the same until the last couple of days when I seem to have actually put on 1kg. My...

Thanks for your answer. I tend to get up several times during the night ( maybe an age thing or maybe because I am drinking more water) so I washed my hands around 6am and then went back to sleep and did the test around 7.30am, so not sure if I needed to wash again. I don't fully understand the...

What can cause changes in the morning test as I am getting higher every day, but feel that my diet is much the same every day, so are there any other events that can make this happen? On 24/25th Jan I was 5.9 - 5.8 then yesterday 6.5 and this morning 7.1. The only difference that I think...

Can you get similar software for an iPhone please?

I also am a complete newby being shown as 45 3 weeks ago. I immediately changed to the LCHF diet. This was actually recommended by my Gp, she told me to read a book called the 8 week blood sugar diet by Dr Michael Mosley which I did. This was just the starting point for me and I then went on to...

kipper omelette

I suppose really I was looking for a substitute for my ' snuggling in bed with my book and a hot creamy chocolate drink' but that was my old lifestyle and accept that things have to change. I must admit that the stock cube sounds interesting, maybe not as luxurious as creamy chocolate but a...

Many thanks to all it looks like I have quite a few options to try out, yummy

I have been on the LCHF diet for 3 weeks now and love the food that I can eat after suffering years of hunger on a low fat diet given to me by my surgery dietitian. I believe the low fat diet was in part responsible for my pre diabetes as I lost no weight, was always hungry and didn't like the...
