Mine arrived yesterday but I hear there can be problems if you don't do things exactly right. E.g. question. Is it best to shower first application and when can I bathe after application? I have a Samsung s5 phone as well. A pointer the relevant part of the forum would be great. My searches...

Great news! A bit of a shame that the they caused a lot of avoidable stress but at least they fessed up. Now you can enjoy Xmas and swan into the new year!!

One meal a day. Work up to eating a large amount of food at one time . I love OMAD.

Thanks, Nicole. I have a look at that stuff. I'm so loving this forum as there's so much experience and information with no cookie-cutter suggestions. I'll try to get my consultant team for the referral/tests. My GP has closed down the conversation. LCHFMP has at least moved my scales in the...

Congrats. This boosted my mood more than any Xmas present will! Here's hoping I can emulate even a little bit.

Sauce. Sauce? SAUCE!!? Drool. :). I miss some sauces, Ian. Seriously, I am a very basic eater and cook. Meat fried in plain fat with salt and low carb veg or stewed in a pressure cooker with a small portion of onion and water. Or homemade pork scatchings as snacks - only salt. I like fried...

Woot! Surprise delivery today of my Freestyle Libre well ahead of the New Year delivery date! I'm hoping to get some real world data rather than Low-carb as I don't think my sister is on-board with my dietary wishes for the Xmas break. Fingers crossed the sensors will work first time...

Thanks for the discussion and updates. I think too much protein is hampering my ownfasting BG but not enough evidence yet from my testing. I love stewed meat but it is much easier to overindulge in than steak or chops. :)

Hi Davey1644 I've been doing low-carb (high-fat) for two months now. I vary between 800 cal and no count (that averages out around 1600 cal daily but keeping protein low to less than 60g when I can as protein, FOR ME, makes a negative -ie raises- difference to my fasting blood sugar levels)...

I guess he did as I pushed for referral to Royal Free who has a specialist clinic within Rheumatology. I hear the Brompton is slightly more open about its process. I was subject to a barrage of tests and scans over several months as Sarc can only be diagnosed by eliminating other conditions...

There is no benefit for one of the major participants in this discussion; drug companies. Their bottom line is to sell drugs; this inevitably skews their motivation in the opposite direction to the self-heal/medicate with food. Doctors are quite stuck in the middle.

Mę too; just arrived... ... but still finding Huge value here as a bit overwhelmed with info.

A bonus to this for me is that Keto gives me 'sore bits' and this is mitigated nicely by juice of half a lemon daily in water. No effect on my bg either so far. YMMV

https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/36/9/2822 From the basic hints and small sample size, it tends to indicate an increase of ~8% in basal bg for low-dose prednisolone, if i am reading it right, which ties in with what I am seeing, generally. It also mentions metformin as a mitigator. This...

Bunneria. On steroids. Thanks for the pointer on what to research. I do get sidetracked a lot!

With the sarc, shown by a gallium scan, it creates inflammation and possibly fibrosis all over my body, along with other symptoms such as poor sleep and very low body temps (35.5-36.3C), I am worried about endocrine insufficiency and diabetes type 3C. I'd prefer to speak to a specialist earlier...

Thanks, all. Prednisolone looks like it's here to stay for a while at least at 7.5mg. Research... ...what haven't I read that's not behind a pay wall on sarcoidosis and a far bit on diabetes but there is so much conflicting info and opinions, especially in the detail; I get lost trying to put it...

Thanks, Urbanracer. Guess ill need to be extremely disciplined, if i can best cravings and pressures. Information overload atm :) I'm thinking to try 2tbps vinegar before eating and walking after as part of an 80/20 approach as they seem pretty agreed upon to help. Not easy to implement for me...

Hi all I'm rather concerned. Background. Female, 56, 5'7", 109kg (was 122kg in July) Diagnosed with sarcoidosis 7 years ago. Meds - prednisolone 10mg (12 months) and spironolactone 50mg. Methotrexate and other drugs, tried but unsuitable for me. My weight has been steadily rising for 10 years...
