very low carbs for me, a newbie T2, didn't work and set back my motivation to do anything at all for many months as i couldn't follow it. I hear that LC works for many ppl but we are not all the same. I am making a new start with 100gr carbs per day abd i ll give it 3 months. I find the tone of...

some ppl had excellent results on very low cards, well done to you and i m kinda envious, tell the truth. But guys did u read the bit about some of us feeling very tired ALL THE TIME and also not seeing great improvements?

going for a 20mile walk? Someone else doing 20 lengths of swimming! In my mind this is activity at a level of training for marathons, in my sad reality. But it probably explains why LCHF for me (and like the person who started this thread) is not shifting my weight nor my BG. Bad news for...

Ppl use lancets more than once?! But there will be deposits of blood left on the lancet and (air borne) bactreia are bound to start feeding/reacting with the blood! Anyone in the forum with medical training to enlighten us?

Hi Maggie/Magpie, what a tough card(s) u ve been dealt with. I hope things get better soon. I m also newly diagnosed and i have been helped a lot by regular testing. Last week i had 2 really bad days of high carbs (i m also depressive). I put what happened behind me -otherwise it creates a...
