I have been low carbing for years and I had the worst day yesterday. Breakfast Large mug unsweetened soya milk Two pieces 90 per cent chocolat Lunch Two bowls home made broccoli soup About 30gm almonds Dinner Raw veg crudites plus dips 6 dorito crisps Chicken with tomatoes, olives, garlic...

My cholesterol went up when I first low carbed and ate very modest amounts of saturated fat. I brought it down by taking sterols and only eating 'healthy' fats, nuts, fish, avos, extra Virgin Olive oil etc. Very frustrating I love cheese, cream etc.!!

Well the supplements have arrived!! I have to be honest and say we haven't tested but I do intend to start to see if I see a pattern, not going to carry on if no effect on my BG. My husband is taking them to as he had prediabetic BG reading some time ago. Although his last Hba1c was 32 but he...

@Winnie53 thanks for your reply. I have stopped monitoring my bg levels as they have been very good recently, in fact I think my tolerance for carbs has increased although this is not something I do often! I intend to monitor mine and my husbands bg levels before and after we take the...

Sorry to ignore the recent posts, but just wanted to say that I have ordered two pots of the B vitamins as used by the OP and will be interested to see if it has similar results with my husband and I, who both have Prediabetes, although with low carbing we now have 'normal' blood sugar...

Oh my gosh so sorry to read this, what a shock to you both. Hope all goes well with his treatment. X

omg Devonbear, you just about gave me a heart attack! What a relief.

I drink the supermarket own blend on its own as a hot drink or in cocoa with xyltol. But in coffee I much prefer the alpro fresh unsweetened. For tea I have the merest dash of ordinary milk. I don't find it affects my blood sugar at all and I have grown to like it.

Please tell me your secret of how type 2 can be reversed? I would love to know!

Agree with above, I worked in a nursery for 12 years and we all did regular paediatric first aid course, but they only touched on hypo symptons so I would not rely on this.

I would ask your consultant why he has suggested you start taking Canagliflozin, there may be a good reason. From what you say it sounds unneccessary but there may be good reasons.

Can't speak for DeeJayr but I have curry with veg no rice, it is really nice once yu get used to the difference!

Nice hot mug of unsweetened soy milk with spoonful of xylitol, two bits of 90% chocolate, spoonful of peanut butter, bowl of home made broccolli soup, all hit the spot when I fancy some comfort food.

I find a mug of unsweetened soy milk fills any gaps.

OMG panic over! Got my husband who has his own meter, to check his bg on mine and his was way higher than on his own taken seconds before. So I opened a new put of strips and everything back to normal thank goodness. So relieved as I didn't know what to do. Also I went to gp and he thinks I...

Well I don't run anymore, knackered joints, just walk! Before these higher reading I would get the odd 6 but not consistently high. With the fat I just don't know. I have had problems with earache for ages, I went to an ENT specialist last Tuesday who thought it was to do with my jaw, but my ear...

Well at the moment my diet is a bit weird as we have had no kitchen for 8 weeks, hopefully all finished this week. However my blood sugar has been fine until this last week. But for today, for breakfast two bits of 90% chocolate, lunch half a raw pepper, half an avocado and a large handful of...

No my trigs went up too I did post about it on here at the time and couldn't really find a reason for it, they were still within normal levels but went up from the previous readings. I am going to focus on cutting down my carbs as previously my readings have been so good thinking about it I may...

That's interesting because I have earache which they don't think is an infection, but I am not so sure.
