Hello everyone. I just wanted to share something with you that to me proves that non-diabetics are interested in T2D and how we manage it. I've been doing a weekly blog on my facebook page for the last few weeks talking about T2D and my progress, and LCHF (in an advocacy rather than zealotry...

Brilliant- so pleased for you! when I got my results back (also fine) a couple of weeks ago I got quite emotional- my eyes watered more then than from the drops. Only then did I really feel my destiny was completely back in my own control

5.9 which is virtually identical to the 6.0 for yesterday but somehow seems so much better. The tricks the mind plays.

Hi - You've a lot going on and it takes strength to ask for help. Well done. This forum is privileged to be part of your team and on your side, but with so much happening in your health and well being it is important that you take whatever you read here in the context of what your health care...

The article contradicts itself massively- the same diet which increases diabetes risk cannot simultaneously been an effective treatment for it. The article acknowledges that it is an effective treatment thereby undermining its own central argument.

I love it that listening to your patients and looking at relevant evidence gets you innovation awards in the NHS (a criticism of his peers not Dr Unwin). Interesting that he quotes Dr Briffa. I’ve met Briffa a couple of times and even had a 30 minute 1-2-1 with him a few years ago where he...

I live between Barnsley and Huddersfield- lovely part of the world.

@shelley262 don’t listen to him -Yorkshire is a beautiful and fine place. Whereabouts in this enormous county are you heading?

I have read Dr Unwin’s paper carefully- it is very compelling. I note though that in his conclusion he chooses his words carefully saying he understands the internet enthusiasm for low carb. It’s like saying in the medieval court that he understands why there are some radical people saying the...

Hi - great idea to go low carb and keep the BG down. Are you already someone who enjoys baking a lot? If so then deffo worth trying lo carb substitutes. If not then your new diet will be easier if it involves less effort rather than more. I bought some coconut flour a month ago but it has so...

6.0 again today. We are into the downhill stretch of the week. We can see the weekend but we can’t touch it yet. Have a good day.

A question for your Dr is how many T2s has he treated who have managed to get to normal Hba1C within 12 months and how did they do it? Followed by “don’t confuse your dusty old lecture notes with real live evidence of thousands of LCHF pioneers”.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Thank you for explaining- I don’t really understand your condition. I barely understand my own.

Oh go on then. I’ll leave you to find the right backing music- something by Elgar perhaps

Converting these into mmols the range is I think 5.5 to 8. These are the tramlines I operate in and overall they are ok. If the Hba1C score is coming out below 42 then all is good but you will get fluctuations in that. I think using the MG/Dl measure makes the swings seem larger - just a...

I think you have the balance of bolds and capitals about right. And frankly you should be shouting (just not in an angry way). Looks like it is going to be a great event – good luck to everyone going. I won’t actually be far away as I will be travelling back from Cornwall with my family and...

Great stuff and well done. You are doing the right thing setting your own targets – you clearly have the motivation and commitment to meet them.

Congratulations!

Well done. Fantastic achievement. Also brave and so helpful to come out in the media and tell your story. Opens you up to good and unfortunately bad comments from "the bottom half of the internet" but absolutely the right thing to do. It is understandable but slightly a shame that the media...

Personally I try not to skip meals. I know some find it, or longer fasting helpful but I set myself some rules one of which is to try not to get hungry- a diet plan where you lose weight without getting hungry is a winning strategy for me. I’m getting close to BMI normal healthy weight now. I’ll...
