Fascinating. Actually now that you mention it, when I first spoke to the diabetic nurse all those weeks ago she SEEMED like she was talking about bringing down my carb intake (that's actually how I found this site). But I only had 30m with her that one day. Since then, the Prevention people are...

Thank you, I actually needed to hear this.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I feel a little vindicated. I don't understand why they're so focused on carbs being a good thing. I was trying to tell her that I've been a yo-yo dieter in the past and although I lost weight on an old form of WW, I felt hungry ALL THE TIME. It was a real...

I got diagnosed as pre diabetic around 4 weeks ago. I’ve really overhauled by life since then and am on a low carb diet, trying to transition into keto. I’ve lost weight and I’m feeling good. But today I got my call from the Diabetes Prevention people my GP put me on to and it threw me for a...

Brill thank you!

Yes I've found myself doing that too.

Hi all, new to counting carbs. Just wondering what the best database/app there is out there? For iPhone users if it matters. I downloaded Carbs & Cals but it seems a little buggy.

That’s amazing, well done! I’ve made so many changes based on everything I’ve read here that I almost can’t wait for my next blood test.

THANK YOU!!!

Hi guys! I'm currently on Day 2 of tracking my carb intake and I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their specific success stories on Keto or LCHF diets? I'm trying to get myself motivated!

Thanks guys!

Thank you - that's actually really helpful. I think I do get this!

Thanks, I’m already pretty low carb though not doing keto... yet!

Hi guys! I have a question, if you guys have an increase in blood sugar - not necessarily a big spike, just a notable increase - are there any symptoms (however mild) that you feel? I have an obsessive compulsive and addictive personality and with the help of my doctor have agreed not to be...

Does anyone here have any amount of dark chocolate as a treat? If so, which kind and how much do you have? I'm a newbie so I'm not sure whether I can occasionally have a bit of chocolate or not...

Ok, I may take this advice at least for the foreseeable future! Btw, I was reading your journey by the stats in your signature and I'm floored. The way you've taken control of your health is inspiring.

Ok everyone here is so LOVELY! I'm a bit scared to buy a meter - don't love the idea of pricking my fingers - but having seen all your posts I've realised that doing it will help me figure out which foods really hurt me and which are ok. I will probs take the plunge... eek. I should also ask -...

This is intriguing. Would you say that’s a good target to aim for if I want to control carbs but not necessarily give them up? Do you count vegetables in that? Obviously you would count the starchy ones like potatoes etc. but what about say aubergine or squash? I just calculated that my...

You make an excellent point. It's one of my last little luxuries but I am going to try a few replacements (like cauliflower rice) and see how it goes. I'm a little apprehensive but also excited! Hi, it's lovely to meet you! Thanks so much for the tip. I would love to know what kind of meters I...

Hi!!! Thanks so much for sharing that post. Just devoured it lol. It is SO empowering and I too am thinking about doing intermittent fasting. I am also cutting my carbs down but a little wary about that because I find I need a small portion of something like couscous a few times a week...
