If you can, do try to turn that feeling of despair into one of fighting mode instead. You want to prove them wrong. Perhaps they're a bit envious that they don't have the knowledge and the strength to cope with T2 that you have, and that you're young and have everything going for you? I don't...

I don't know if I can give you any help, so I'm aiming for the support part. Please don't compare yourself with everyone else. Compare yourself with yourself, as you know, we're all different. 2 months is not a long time at all, so my rule #1 - patience. They do say that FBGs are the last to...

So sad :(

Hello metforminman, and welcome :) I see that Daisy1 has been tagged already, so let me suggest that you read this great blog post by Jo. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/

Even if I don't agree with you, I'll still advice you to read this wonderful 'nutritional thingy' by Jo. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/ It sums up dos and don'ts in a very legible way. I agree with: Do get yourself a meter to check your progress. Watch out for the ones...

Hello mileysmileley, and welcome to the forum. You write that you're on low carb, but we often see that people think they are, but eat foods that aren't really. Fruit and cereals, for example. That's why it's a great idea to read Jo's blog on nutrition...

They're easy and yummy. I recommend them, and on dietdoctor there's a button so you can switch from cups to metric. I can't work with cups either. This is how mine came out.

It really isn't that long. Only just about 7 years :D

Are you having T4 replacement therapy? I had a blood test done today as I've lost about 2/3rds of my previously rather thick mane, as well as all hair on arms and legs and a nice chunk of my eyebrows. Do you still have body hair?

Here's another very helpful blog post about nutrition. Please do read it. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/

I got carried away too. Cream cheese. :angelic:

I can relate to that. It's so hard to watch the decline of a person you love, especially if that person is a parent whose genetic make up you may have inherited. How old was your dad when he passed away, and did it happen recently? How was he treated for T2, meds? As I see it you're attacking...

It's not my impression that she's around much these days, but here's a link to her blog with the info :) A big welcome to you @res1492. Lean back and enjoy the ride. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/

Hello and welcome :) Apart from reading Daisy1's fabulous post when it arrives, I also warmly recommend that you read Jo's blog on nutrition. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/. Also, please do hop over on Dietdoctor.com and give it a good read.

I'll have to protest! You're referring to my dear OH.

Hello and welcome. A fast T2 here, I lurked for only a week or so :p

Dirty keto, is that when I don't wash my meat balls prior to eating them? :shifty:

Are you sure he didn't give you the suppository edition? :rolleyes:

Better give it a go. I need a good laugh this morning.:)

Well, curiously enough the Danish equivalent to BBC has this article today. https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/nye-advarsler-mod-kolesterolmedicin. I know, I know, it's in Danish, but it's not long and there's google translate, but it warns against side effects. Perhaps some of you have heard of...
