Experience. Some bodies don't respond well to it. We all respond differently. I mean if it works for you, great but it made me very ill. And I’ve tried a few times.

It amazes me that people on here think low carb is no carb. Before even attempting this people should get their kidney function checked. It’s not for everyone.

I have Stage 4 kidney disease.and um not likely to take risks. Low carb high fat makes me really really ill. And high protein and processed meat would be a huge risk. I still might look though.

I I love how this is made to sound so simple. I eat a reasonably low carb diet, around 30grams of traditional carbs per day. I dint eat fruit, sweet potato, pumpkin to corn either. After 30 years of this I have no heart disease. But I do have cardiomyopathy, probably viral, chronic kidney...

I'd be cautious. Certainly not good for your kidneys.

Assuming it is restless legs and not neuropathy have you tried iron supplements? And if you've been on metformin any length if time B12 can be an issue. Both of these worked for me.

Crikey. And I find it hard to exercise. I’m thinner in this photo. I’ll give up if I can’t control my weight. I can’t imagine going back to where I was. Twenty years ago.

Geez. I'm not too sure Low carb high fat should include bacon regularly. It’s highly processed, full of salt and nitrites. Info from my endocrinologist said no, and to focus on healthy fats. Avocados, cheeses like cottage cheese, fish, eggs. I guess it depends how healthy you are otherwise...

That happened to me. I stopped taking it. With advice from my GP. never had swollen legs before.

Gosh that’s depressing. The just started and I’ve already put on weight.

I’m on 18 units Lantus before bed and 8 units before meals. They took me off gliclazide as I was having too many hypos which isn’t good for my heart failure (dilated cardiomyopathy). And off Metformin for my kidney disease. Instant insulin resistance. I've just put myself back on Metformin...

That wasn’t what I meant. Everyone I know has had to work out the correct doses according to food, exercise and them, and it takes time and adjustments (experiment). As an individual, because we're all different. I was not suggesting for a second accepting the doses, but getting help until...

I did this two months ago. After years of struggling with oral meds I’ve found it really easy. Much more stable bgl's. I have heart failure so my issue is insulin resistance and being weaned off of Metformin (also have kidney disease). So I now walk for an increasing number of minutes after...

To me that means you’re still diabetic. But then if you have room to lose more weught, get more exercise, he might get be right.

He’s more or less right, if you don't factor in other things that might go wrong as you age. Diet and exercise are critical. Plenty of books on it.

Are you having hypos? Regularly? The f not you’re not on too much insulin. Jystvread your thread against n. Sorry but tge first few months are experiments in working out what works for you. I don’t l understand ttge NHS but I’d be back t my doctor for advice. Mistakes happen and surely the...

My world. Low carb high fat for diabetes is bad for cardiomyopathy, high protein is bad for kidney disease. No wonder your confused. Just keep going, adjusting and watching all of your numbers. It’s early days and you can do it, the advice is so much better than when I started 30 years ago.

Been doing this for thirty years, though now insulin. You shouldn’t hypo on just Metformin. Though you may rebound and scare yourself. If it’s under 6 before bed have a small snack. Crispbread or low carb fruit. Also I fed apps useful for calculating carbs in food. I live MyFitnessPal...

To a certain extent you need to be your own doctor. My previous doctor missed my kidney disease despite being diabetic for nearly thirty years. All put down to stress and diabetes. Missed dilated cardiomyopathy, exhausted because stress and you guessed it diabetes (yes it was out of control...

Low fat high sugar = addictive and cheap.
