Yes, it is very depressing. I will be very careful from now on. I was sick and had eaten all my soup and other low carb things in the freezer and didn't feel up to cooking more. I just baked some flaxseed bread so I don't get caught again. I am also making a couple of low carb casseroles to...

Excellent!! I started this journey a year ago and I'm amazed at how quickly everything changed, especially at my age (70). Beginning journey, 2017-03-09 Weight 155.6 A1C 6.7 Chol 4.6 HDL 1.54 LDL 2.69 Ratio 3 TG 0.8 Fasting BG 4.8 Trigl 0.8 Now: 2018-03-21...

When I was first diagnosed T2 a year ago my Doctor and Diabetic Educator advised me to not give up anything, however, eat in moderation. OK. I tried their way and my sugars went up, so I researched and found the LCHF Keto lifestyle and changed immediately. Three weeks ago my Doctor said I was...

I've had a cold for the past month and yes, it's cold/snowy/raining here on PEI, Canada as I type. Come on SPRING!!

6.4, fasting. It's usually been in the 5s. Could having a couple of Keto Choc Chip Cookies/tea at 7:00 pm the night before cause this? Or, usual restless sleep, head cold do it? I must admit these little spikes make me nervous although both my physician and Diabetic Educator told me not to...

On Wednesday I didn't have much in the house to eat of LCHF, so I took a small muffin and a half out of my freezer and ate that with Peanut Butter/Butter and coffee. YIKES! I checked my bg two hours later and it was 13.4!!! I nearly freaked. The muffin must have been one that I made before I...

I had my 3-month appt with my Diabetic Educator yesterday. She said if she didn't know I was 70 she'd think my blood test results were those of a 19 to 20-year-old. I guess I do sweat the small stuff. And, I guess my lifestyle changes are working. She also said I don't need to come back for...

Oh, thanks, didn't know that.

Ooops, keep forgetting. And, Vitamin C to help metabolize fats and proteins.

They went from 0.8 at the beginning to 0.6 now.

My good cholesterol, HDL, was staying pretty steady since I changed to the Keto lifestyle last May/June. The results from March '17, every three months was 154, 146, 156, 157, and now 129. Does anyone else have this happen on the Keto plan? What would cause these fluctuations? My LDL has...

Way to go, everybody.

I am following the LCHF lifestyle (Keto) and it's working very well. Lost lots of weight, A1C is down to 'normal' levels, bad chol down, good chol up and things are going great. I gave up Metformin very early on because I didn't like it. Now I follow this lifestyle along with walking the dog...

I have found that if I eat bread or starchy veggies, beans, etc. that my blood glucose rockets. So, I have given up all grains, sugars, starchy veggies, beans, legumes, etc. since being diagnosed T2 March 2017. I began the Keto lifestyle and it was the best move I made. My A1C is now in the...

I have to confess, I did the same thing after being diagnosed in March 2017 and was put on Metformin. I didn't like it so I stopped after about 2 or 3 wks. I started the LCHF eating style and have reduced my A1C to the 'normal' range. This past week my Diabetic Educator said I'm an...

Way to go! Congratulations! I was diagnosed last March with T2 and started the low carb eating plan shortly after. I, too, have lowered my A1c to the good range. No metformin. Just exercise and low carb/high fat eating. I have lost a bit more weight than I wanted, but hey, maybe this is...

Thanks all for the input. No, they can't unstaple it once it's done and it's been 37 years, so would probably be too late. And, yes, I've been doing the Keto as well as having to eat reduced portions. That's what I was wondering. I did read on some diabetic sites that one should only eat 3...

Hi: I have been worrying about my weight loss for the past while. I am two months short of 70, have had my stomach stapled since 1980, have only one kidney, lost 35+ pounds since starting the Keto plan back in June and appear to be healthy otherwise. My next BG test is Dec. 21, but it's been...

This is the first time I've heard of Lidl protein rolls. I live in Canada, so probably won't be able to get them. Crying......
