I don't know how to send a hug but I hope things improve for you. Stay strong and do what you can to look after yourself, things can get brighter. X

I have been enjoying the butter and cheese and especially the cream. Maybe I have been over indulging a touch. The mince I had yesterday was quite tasteless, possibly because I just shaped it and banged it in the oven, no fat or seasoning. I was ready to give up this morning, I get weighed...

No, no exercise. I've been much less active since just before Christmas. I'm waiting for a start date for my new job. I don't think that I am coming down with anything, I feel fine.

Well done, you'll get there. X

I have been trying to follow lchf for a few weeks now and I certainly don't feel hungry. My fbg has stayed in the sevens and eights but I have been happy that two hours after eating my levels are pretty much back to where they were before eating, usually around 7. My lowest reading has been...

9.0 this morning. I have been testing before bed and it's usually between 7.5 and 8.5 and usually a bit higher in the morning. I am just going to carry on and hope I start to see the same results as other low carbers. Are you seeing good results?

Well I got up this morning to a fbg of 8.1. Had a fried egg for breakfast, no coffee, put a tin of tuna into a lock and lock box with 100g mayonnaise and set off to Manchester for a training course. The croissants and Danish pastries looked fab but I refused them and had black coffee. At...

Thanks Kristin251. I do like avocados. I am happy.

6.5 before lunch, 7.1 two hours later. This is good isn't it?

I think things are going in the right direction Kristin251. Two hours after my fried egg I was down to 8.1 and when I tested at 2.30 before having lunch (200g shredded cabbage and 20g melted butter) it was down to 6.5. I live with my sister who is vegetarian but eats fish and I didn't eat meat...

A quick update. I weighed everything yesterday and calculated carbs. Total for day less than 14g. Fbg at 5.30am 8.1. Coffee with cream at 6.30am and 2 hrs later 9.7. I ate an egg fried in butter and will test again after two hours.

Thanks Trebor2516. I may try broccoli again this evening. I'm just going to stick with lchf for the moment and keep testing. The more knowledge I have about my reaction to a whole range of food the better.

8.9 today. Lower than yesterday. I will be monitoring protein today so I hope that this is the start of a downward trend.

Thanks Kristin251, you are right but I will stick with it. Going down...

I have never been prescribed medication. I reduced my levels after diagnosis by sticking to the Newcastle diet for eight weeks and losing over two stones in weight. I bought a meter and have tested my fbg for over a year now. They are usually in the sevens. I started to put weight back on...

I'm new to the forum as well as to diabetes. Don't know if I should be replying to individual replies or if I can just say a general thanks for the advice. It feels good knowing that people will take time to point me in the right direction.

It is all very new to me. I thought I was pretty clued up about nutrition in a do as I say not as I do sort of way but it appears I am not as good as I thought. Back to the drawing board. Cut down on the cheese and weigh everything. I will get there.

Okay, I'll try broccoli with cod and butter sauce for dinner tomorrow. I like broccoli and Brussels sprouts lol.

I only cut the end off and ate most of the stalk.

This made me smile Freema, I am definitely not eating too few calories. Yesterday I had an omelette (2 eggs) with cheese and chorizo for breakfast and after 2 hrs level was lower than when I started. I had cottage cheese at around 4pm and then for dinner I sautéed some leeks in butter and...
