All my life ive had classic symptons of hypos and usually just scoffed sweets to stop the symptons. Now Im diabetic Ive been monitoring my blood levels reading up. Started low carb diet and lows are now 5.2 to 5.6 with no spikes after meals. Yet I still get the hypos(?), however when i measure...

so i only eat white fish, is this fatty? ie cod ,pollack etc. I dont like beef. olives and nuts , yuck. I for e myself to eat salad so I reslly cant force myself to eat one more thing i hate. I used to eat whole chickens for lunch and dinner, but now i find 100 - 200 grams of chicken fills me...

sounds like this may be a problem for, but i'll give it a go anyway!!!

Hi, I have a question on freestyle libre. I didnt realise this gets inserted. As someone who is very clumsy always catching sleeves and ripping them etc this is making me very wary of getting one of these as I feel like I would always be catching it and ripping it out. Is this a valid concern?

it wax easy/hard. stopped all snacks ie ping milk, 10 pkts crips a day and lots of coke. now only 3 meals a day. Hard because Im struggling to eat more than 1200 - 1500 calories now I dont snack or eat more than 100g carbs.

dont your go do yearly health chevks which include blood tests, so if you go back ovef it will be caught?

So I restarted low carb diet after falling off wagon. I am now averaging 5.2 before meals and at most I spike to 6.0 maybe 6.2 odd few times. Is this any good? The sticky post would suggest so but so many posts have people aiming for less than 5. The few times I am less than 5 I feel a bit...

that just makes me want to cry, is this what i've got looking forward to eating

bf bacon, lunch fish, salad, dinner will be turkey and salad. Im starving, im really, really trying to resist the temptaion to buy a load of burgers and hot dogs :(

So I'm a 30% risk, very high trigs etc. However I think that was caused by me giving up on low carb diet and gyms closed last year. I think I can improve without statins. I'v been reading watching a lot about cholestral , statins etc, but nearly all of its been one sided i.e dont take them...

you dont see the needles, even when you take lancet apart they are really small. I could never put a needle in my like say drug users. They feel flat to touch and you press them in like the end of a pen , at least the one i have. I originally thought they would be like syringes.

yeah ive been watching some interesting prorams from researchers into protein who say the 80g limit is rubbish and upto 220g will give you nutritional gains and after that just wasted. Look like I will raise the amount of meat I eat! the only downside fat will raise my cholestrial, and whereas...

does it really take a week for effect? I guess it depends on person, but if I stuff myself with carbs I can see spike from 6 to 12 which lasts throughout the day, but the next day it will be back in 5 to 6 range (assuming eat little or no carbs on that day).

but where does it all end, vegans not wanting meat, hindus not wanting beef, jews/muslims pork, nut allegies, celery allegies, milk allegies etc. The list is endless. You cant cater for everyone. Its the thought that counts, me I just say thank you and dont partake. I understand you cant cater...

well I for one feel totally burnt out and have given up over xmas. Everything I like has carbs in it. Of course this has resulted in me having the highest blood sugar recordings I have ever recorded and the last two days I have literally collapsed and zone out for couple of hours from diabetes...

I must be doing it wrong because low carb is making me feel hungary all the time :(

omg, I can't see how anyone could surive on that diet (and yes I realise you are actually probably eating the correct amounts), but me I would be starving hungary if I had that just for breakfast !!!
