Was that a slow decline or did you just wake up one morning and it was gone? And why did it happen, do you think? Is your liver no longer fatty? ( I have just thought that this forum can be a weird place, I have just asked a stranger about his fatty liver!!)

I use fibregel because I find it really difficult to eat enough fibre from real food. Even before t2d I had problems. It tastes OK as long as you drink it quickly! Tbh I find it very useful.

Hi, just seen this. How is the fast going? Are you having anything at all? And did you decide on a set number of days or just see how it goes? I've only managed 48hrs so huge respect!!

Mentioned in despatches!! I agree with you absolutely about the fibre. I would say that at the beginning of my t2d I was trying whole meal every thing. It didn't seem to make much difference to my numbers which still stayed high. For me, I have decided that I need a lot more fibre than...

I am afraid I am a bit if an old tart and go for any chip. Even the ugly ones.

Hello and welcome. Another vote for getting a metre. You really will need one oryou will be doing this in the dark. My first hbalc was 53 in june this year when I was diagnosed. Last test 2 weeks ago was 39, so it can be done. Good luck with it all and ask any questions you may have and read...

Chips are food of the gods. Going to try all the good ideas on here. Thanks everyone.

Didnt work for me. I was 101kgs when dx in june this year. I used lchf and was 80kgs by September. That is more than 15%. Unfortunately, still diabetic. A messy incident with some scones proves that. But my hbalc is now 39, I feel much better and would not go back to my old way of eating. As...

Morning all. 5.5 today. Grandchildren all day, stress levels rising already!!

Hello all. It is so.helpful to belong to this group. 73kg this week, down 1 kg from 2 weeks ago, when I last weighed. Definitely much harder going than in the beginning. Still, as ickihun says, onwards and downwards!

That all sounds really complicated! How long did it take you to get to grips with it all?

So, not a lot involving chips? B****r! I really miss them. If there is one thing that would make me fall off the lchf wagon its chips. I asked because I have seen some posts about other ways ( not lchf) of bringing down a hbalc on a permanent basis, but have not seen any posts about how...

I am so sorry tohear of your troubles, especially the death of your brother. I am sure that is still so hard to deal with on so many levels. I am not t1, so cannot comment on your health, but didn't want to read and run. I am sure that others will come along that know a great deal.more than I do.

Hi, pinkorchid. I am fairly new to all this, dx about 14 weeks ago. I would love to be able to eat carbs. Ireally really miss chips. Dont mind giving up the sweet things, bread etc but miss potatoes. I most certainly would not post anything negative about a different approach and would love to...

Done. As already said, t1s and insulin using t2s use the metre for different things. I dont use it as much now as I did even a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to put meals and end of day etc, but couldn't. It is not really a big deal if I go out for a meal without it. And I find the metre very...

Hello and welcome!! So much to learn. Take a breath because you are among friends who have all been there! Regards the pooing, yes it's really scary at first. But the more you learn the better it will be. Have you had a look at the jason fung website? I don't know which books you have, but Dr...

I am 4.9 today. I had more carbs than usual at the weekend and its taken this long for the numbers to go back down. Hope everyone has a great day.

Always beautiful. Thankyou.

Hello geoff, thanks for the reply. I have been looking at thiroid, but am too scared to make the leap. But the tiredness is stopping my life so I think I might just give it a go. My tsh is 3.2 and in range, so apparently the tiredness is not thyroid related. My gp says I have cfs! They have...

Just stopped by to.wish you success with it all. And to ask a question, if I may? I too am hypothyroid on levo. But would also.like to use ndt. How do you go about this? I would happily self fund, but dont know where to start. Many thanks.
