Around the menopause (joy of joys) I was diagnosed with type 2 DM. I then low carbed my way from an hba1c of 63 to 39. But at the same time I developed extreme exhaustion which got worse and did not improve at all with the keto diet even though I lost over 40lbs and maintained an ok hba1c. It...

The gift that keeps on giving

Aldi do one too

I'm not a newbie - type 2, diagnosed in 2015. My hba1c was 62 on diagnosis. Through keto I promptly got it down to 39 over the next 6 months. I used the Abbott libre for the first few years. But recently I started the libre again and was horrified at my glucose levels. Even when strict keto I...

I'm in a similar position. Diagnosed 6 years ago, Hba1c of 62, went low carb and got it down to 39. Wore the freestyle libre a lot which really helped. But the last 2 years I've got complacent. Lots of diet coke, artificially sweetened cakes, fish in batter. Put a libre on for the first time in...

Other options might be: Greek yogurt with some berries/nuts/seeds. I sometimes make homemade keto olive and feta bread - yum! Sometimes I buy low carb wraps and put cooked chicken and avocado in. Sometimes I make pancakes with almond flour, egg, almond or soy milk and top with berries and Stevia...

Cut out the carbs ie Weetabix and dumplings. Go to bacon and eggs for breakfast. If you are desperate for cereal buy or make some low carb muesli. It's quite expensive to buy but you can make it yourself with ingredients like coconut flakes, low carb nuts (almonds, pecans etc) then add soy or...

Is he counting grams of carbs? I would guess that several portions of fruit in the way you describe is not keto.

I guess I am not sure why the bs levels are so high given my diet and why they rocket so much with the tiniest amount of any exercise or stress. I thought exercise would be good for diabetes (though it doesn't help the M.E.)

Was diagnosed 3 years ago and overall have kept bs down with keto low carb. Lost 30lbs to start with but put a stone back on. Have kept 16lbs off. Have been pretty strict the last few months but am struggling to maintain good bg control and am not losing weight. Have at least 30lbs I need to...

How do you mean?

Thanks everyone! Just means a lot to me, your understanding means a great deal!!

I eat a keto diet and usually control my type 2 diabetes by diet. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome so my opportunities for exercise are limited although I do a structured weights routine for 10 minutes each morning. Just recently I had a university essay deadline followed by a family party a...

Might put a bit of chopped 90% chocolate in. As mentioned, will sub erithrytol or similar for sugar and decrease raisins drastically

Trying it again this year!

Oooohh nooooooo had Chinese last night, BG malingering around 9.... after a horrific rise...When will I learn... Still, 5 weeks since anything like it..

Wow! Just looked at those prices!!! Can't think many people will go for it at that price!!!

I'm so sorry.

The 'blurb' says it lasts, potentially, for up to 180 days, but it's hard to tell without trialling. I guess the only advantage for me might be: a) price, if it's cheaper than the libre b) only having to change something every 6 months c) it may be more accurate. They are certainly not keen on...
