Hi @NeeNee87 I've no idea whether what I'm about to say will make sense but I'll give it a go. Over the last couple of months I've gone from 90kg to 83 so I've lost about 13lbs but I'm 5ft 1 so I'm still significantly over weight and I absolutely credit low carb for the weight starting to come...

Thought it might be worth throwing in here that both my parents, now in their mid 80s were diagnosed as type 2 in their 50s and nothing much has changed for them in the last 30 years. They seem to get by with metformin and scowling at the sugar content on packets.

Hi @Nixterjoe I'm going for mine in an hour's time so I'll watch the responses you get with interest. I told my diabetic nurse I was a bit apprehensive about what it would do to my numbers and she said "yup but only for a couple of days, believe me flu or covid would do much, much worse" She...

Proud of myself I am. One massive pot of broccoli and stilton soup and it's lovely. My husband just tasted it and said "I'd eat that" which is high praise indeed. There are five or six good sized portions and only 20ish carbs in the pan. ( actually they are in freezer tubs now) Autumn work...

Aha..... Maybe mine knows I'm gearing up for the mad dash sprint to the loo!

You're probably right. I'm always under 20g mostly under 10g so my insides won't have the first clue whats going on.Lets hope, as I'm prone to saying about my almost grown children, "its a phase"

Thanks @catinahat . I do understand that and I understand the dawn and foot on the floor stuff (even though it annoys me) but there has been nothing at all different ( I sneezed once yesterday and thought aha maybe I'm going to be ill but no)and the past three days there has been a big rise...

8.8 from nowhere grr

Thanks @KennyA That is reassuring. I woke up to 8.8 this morning. These recent random numbers are absolutely the highest in the six weeks since I have been diagnosed and low carb so I suppose it is making me feel a bit defeated. Nevertheless I have lost 8lb and I am enjoying the food so onwards...

Over the past four weeks or so I've only had a couple of low 8s and they have been connected to dawn phenomenen so not really a problem. For the last three days I have had a peculiar mid morning rise. Yesterday it was 8.1 om waking at 6.30 then 6.8 at 7am before breakfast and 8.1 two hours...

7.9

8.1 at 6am (grr)

Now I want an instant pot too ! My tiny kitchen will burst. I had to put the toaster away last week to make room for the new airfryer.

Okay Paul. You and I are now in a first time soup makers challenge !

Thank you for this. I've been reading bits and pieces about fasting and thinking what on earth is bone broth.

6.3 at 6.30am

This made me smile. As usual my brain went straight from "I wonder how you make soup" to "ohhh I think I'll shop for a fancy soupmaker." Your post brought me back to step 1....... Try making soup

Thank you that is reassuring. What please is "A&E"?

Thanks for this. It looks yummy

Hi @Thornliebank Don't be too disappointed if they don't do the thingie again (I think you mean hba1c) I asked the diabetic nurse and she said no. I think they tend to do it three monthly and you have had one recently
