I can't even begin to tell you all how much your posts have helped me. I mean that, sincerely. The support and fantastic information has been a godsend. Genuinely, thank you everyone.

Hi there everyone, I've been looking into different diets for diabetes as I don't feel like LCHF is good for the body. It just doesn't equate to health, to me. I can't see how all that fat and salt can help the body overall and even though it might lower blood glucose and keep diabetes in...

Thank you so much for the replies, Heretic! Funnily enough, I actually eventually bit the bullet (hope it doesn't raise my bs ;p) and started testing and I actually enjoy it now!! It was a relief. After starting off on a 10.4 reading 5 weeks ago on my A1c, I'm steadily in the 6s sometimes...

5.8, lowest I've ever been but I slept 14 hours.

I feel the same too. It's really tough. But it's what we have to do. We have no choice.

Haha thank you for the replies everyone! I appreciate everyone's input. Sorry if I came off in a ****** mood, I'm just terribly frustrated. I'm 6 weeks in, went from 10.4 A1c to steady 6.0 readings for the most part (sometimes hitting the late 5s). I have no idea how to do a low carb vegan...

Hi everyone, I recently saw a post on DiabetesDaily on Facebook saying that Dr. Neil Barnard says that T2s should be vegans, not on LCHF. I was just getting used to LCHF, so I'm pee'd off about this. Why isn't there straightforward properly tested information? Why are we always being made to...

OMG I hope so. I buy my rolls from Walkergate Lidl. Don't know what I'd do without them.

Hello everyone! So, I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 5 weeks ago with a reading of 91 at 31 years old. I weighed 31 stones at the time. I went straight on an LCHF diet, started exercising. I'm now 28.8, go walking, exercise most days, drink only water, not deviated from diet. Yes, I miss my old...

I'm actually REALLY struggling. Do you have a weekly food diary you could share please? I'm struggling terribly with LCHF/am a new T2 so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ooh could you share the recipe please?

Same. I'm still afraid but I have anxiety so I'm afraid of everything lol. Yes, I'm learning and giving myself time to learn. We are not meant to know everything immediately. Talk it out as much as you can. Feel free to PM me if you need anyone to talk to. Good luck to you too!

Welcome! She's lucky to have a boyfriend that cares so much! It is a wonderful community here, I'm sure you will find all the help you need.

How many times a day should a T2 eat and test? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Thanks again, everyone. I've lost another stone in a week as I haven't been eating much, scared to eat anything other than chicken, tuna and salad. I have a meter but I don't want to test. It feels too overwhelming. I just want to lose the weight and it'll all go away. I had half a banana and...

I am in this exact position; I do not know what to do. I've been given 2000mg Metformin and just left to it. No advice. I have to wait 6/7 months for the course. What do you eat in a week? What does your week with Diabetes look like? I have no idea what to do for the best. Thank you.

You are not alone. I've been very upset for 2 weeks but was diagnosed a month ago. Now on 2000mg metformin. It's terrifying. But we have to let ourselves just learn and eventually make our way to accepting. You're not alone. Big hugs to you xx

One person says no, a few say yes. It says on the Metformin packet no, but a lot of others do just in moderation and stick to spirits and white wines. I'm confused too, though, to be honest.

Oops, it posted the quote and not what I wrote. I'm just getting used to this app lol. I feel the same way. I am afraid to eat, afraid not to eat. I have no idea what I'm doing. I am newly T2D. What is your weekly groceries list/food diary, Kaz, if you don't mind me asking?
