I have been on the LCHF diet for 3 weeks now and the results have been very good. Now I can see how each food affects by BG I can look to get some sort of balance. I also live with my 19 year old son and have to balance meals for both of us. We had steak, with melted Stilton, salad and sweet...

I read a piece on reactive hypoglycaemia where the lady recalled how it all started for her, 2-3 hours after breakfast would feel shaky, clammy and disoriented. She explained as you do, that her immune system was constantly trying to get rid of the excess insulin, flushing it out through the...

Hi Lamont D, Yes, I have some reading to do. Thanks all

Hba1C test always under 7 for the last 8 years, whether I ate well or bad. Kept expressing concerns over joint pain, fatigue, brain fog... and was once told it may be ME! Got Tramadols for pain, blood pressure tablets, statins and acid blockers. Yes, I'm just happy there's a light at the end of...

Hi Daisy1, Many thanks for all this valuable information, which gives me every chance to work out the dietary requirements I need to access, to give me better health going forward. I have passed this on to my boss, who has been very understanding recently regarding the debilitating symptoms I...

Hi AM1874, Many thanks for the reply and links which I will definitely look to purchase. I must admit that I don't take BG readings and have thought I should be for a long time, but usually either feel too tired to add to the list of things to do, or just forget......... I remember whilst...

Hi Kristin251, Thanks for you reply and info. This will be very useful, as I am eating a lot of tomatoes at the moment, so will drop them for a while. Really need to start work on some recipes, so I don't get bored of just eating fish/meat with veg in butter....

Hi all, just registered after seeing some posts from googling the heading. I was diagnosed T2 about 8 years ago after an OGT, with symptoms ranging from numbness in hands and feet and constant urination. As the years have gone by, my symptoms worsened with fatigue, elbow and knee joint pain and...
