Thanks for the reply @ianf0ster its much appreciated. tbh I’m so confused about next steps. I was doing protein breakfasts to flatten the dp and it was working just like you said. Then I had a 4 week weight plateau and was reading Jason fung’s diabetes code which seemed to be saying just let...

Firstly, I’m doing way better than I thought I was! My finger pricks were picking up dp, and the top of the curve fluctuations, the rest of the time I’m 5-6, with an average of 5.4. The blips for coffee finally convinced me to switch to almond milk - it was my last bastion of carbs so now into...

I decided to get a libre2 after 1. Not losing any more weight. 2. No energy in the evenings to do any work or after 3 hours activity/ exercise. To cover my bases I got a private thyroid test too with family history. I was really pleasantly surprised with my readings. Between 5-6 mostly apart...

So this week lost one pound after 4 weeks of net zero! Fingers crossed it’s a resuming of weight loss. And nope didn’t do anything differently as I bought a libre to see if my sugars were the reason I wasn’t losing and kept the faith in the process. Just kept to the same lchf diet, more...

I get massive liver dumps when I skip a meal @coby. There are so many times I just haven’t wanted to eat as well I know it’d be so easy for me. Do you think I should just ignore the liver dump and push on for weight loss? I go up from 5 to 9/10 and get nauseous but could power through! Gah just...

Stayed the same this week. Looks like a plateau has arrived so will try some resistance exercise...

Thank you for the reply, I’m totally overthinking everything I know. What an odd result for yourself! Maybe you’ve become less insulin resistant which has impacted mysteriously on thyroxine levels? I honestly can’t believe how little is really known.

Hi, With no family history of diabetes and a strong family history of hypothyroidism I wasn’t convinced by GP who said no need for testing (hit a wall after 3 hours activity and very very tired after). So I used letsgettested. Results are high for antibodies (TPEX and TGAB), TSH high which is...

5.3 :) A weekend of gardening sees a welcome return to the 5s!

2 pound gain this week boooo! But I have started period today so fingers crossed just water retention. If not, my plan b is high intensity resistance training. Bit scary so I’m keeping it for when I start to plateau! Hope it’s not a plateau caus I have another 2 stone to go...

That’s a great outcome I’m so pleased for you. And yes you’re worth it!

Conniecar it sounds like you’re juggling a massive amount. You absolutely need the support of your school. I also work in a school and know how hectic it is. There are things they can do and reasonable adjustments that can be made. If you feel like you can’t speak to a senior member of staff...

Oh wow. That sounds very full on! I’m sorry it’s happened to you and thank you for enlightening us. I hope you’re managing it ok and well now.

Everyone is different (meter is your friend), but if I had those goals and was seeing dp I’d eat when I get up - assuming with your shifts that’s the same time? For me, it stops the rise, and it would just go up and up till lunch otherwise. I think it depends on how good your primary and...

Everyone has been there feeling scared and overwhelmed. Like the other posters have said tell us what you like to eat. The cravings for carbs actually disappear after a while and you don’t miss them - promise! Well certainly for me and I loooved sweet things and a lot of others too. Have you...

Thank you Slimlizzy! I hope you feel better soon too.

I had one of them last week they don’t last forever honest!

2 pounds lost this week so my first full stone lost and 13 stone 7pounds now, woop woop! It feels like the hardest won 2 pounds ever with odd liver behaviour, blood sugar lows and highs this week. Fingers crossed for a less dramatic one pound and no swinging bloods sugar this week!

Thanks Andydragon. Hopefully it was a one off - it just freaked me out a bit as I wasn’t expecting it. If it happens again I will speak to someone!

Oooo maybe! Although up in the north east of England it isn’t as much as a heat wave as everywhere else!
