5.2 Have a lovely week everyone

5.2 this morning. Surprising as had a bad night with poorly kitty so was up every few hours but I’ll certainly take it. Have a good day and week, all!

A fellow nhs worker! [emoji112] I was a mental health nurse now I’ve retrained as an nhs therapist! I get the prep but it’s a pain. I use shakes too a lot of days when I’m at work. I use the ‘purition’ ones as they are 4g carbs per serving and mainly natural ingredients: I have it with 300ml...

Hi, I am doing the fast 800 and am type 2 but waiting for results of antibody test as they think I might be LADA. It’s tough initially and I have kind of tweaked it in that I am normally around 900 cals or so - I found I was getting hypos on 800- but I have extra complication of being coeliac...

I’m vegan after being veggie for years and quorn ham slices are my saviour for low carb protein. I also use the meatless farms burgers and sausages and ‘this isn’t’ bacon and meatballs once or twice a week, but try and stick to whole foods as much as I can (but I’m a sucker for a burger!)

As a cat lover I fully appreciate your cat themed salt and pepper shakers and mug! [emoji173]️

The hubs has got a fancy cd player set up so we’ve been buying cds from charity shops to play. Yesterday he got me suede’s album coming up, and Freddie mercurys solo album mr bad guy. Brilliant and ticked all my nostalgia boxes

I am currently type 2 (possibly Lada waiting results) but I started at around 80-100g and worked my way down until I found what helped my bm. I now stick to the Michael Moseley 50/50 rule which is to aim for no more than 50g carbs and higher than 50g protein a day. I average out at about 30g...

5.7 and very happy about it after a week of higher morning levels- stress really does make a huge difference Have a good day all x

5.7- less stressed and jasper less pukey- praying he’s over the worst now. I got my free trial Libre two yesterday and I am OBSESSED! My sore fingers are having a break from repeated finger pricks and I can see in more real time where the peaks and troughs are. Have a great Sunday everyone x

You’re not crazy. I went through (and still going through) the same thoughts and feelings. It gets better and you learn to love new foods (second raspberries and cream and dark chocolate, also found low carb sugar free rhubarb custard sweets from Holland and Barrett fill a hole) You’ll get there!

7.2. Still higher than I’d like but not terrible considering all the stress and lack of sleep this week

7.2 this morning Am accepting it- I have been so stressed and anxious this past week and it has been normalising to 5-6 by lunchtime so I’m not adding this to my list of things to worry about PS Thanks for all your kind words about my darling kitty Jasper. He’s still being sick but less so, and...

First time posting, here goes… I started low carb/IF in March this year at 90.8kg having lost 10kg prior to that over the year. Today I weighed in at 81.4kg I’m 2kg off having a BMI of 29 Happy Friday all x

Thanks. It really is! Plus the breakdancing moves he busts out before launching [emoji23]

7.5 this morning My boy is better but still waking up at 4am like clockwork to throw up and sing me the song of his people. Vet again in two weeks. And lack of sleep and Stress does a number on my bm it would seem! Still better than past two days so I’m ok with that. Have a good day all

Hello, both diabetic and coeliac club member here [emoji112] I was lucky in that I was diagnosed coeliac 10 years ago and t2 5 years ago (although now waiting for test results to see if I’m actually t1 but that’s another story…) anyway I say I was lucky because I had 5 years to deal with diet...

7.5 this morning. [emoji58] stress and lack of sleep really do a number on your blood sugars eh? Have a good day people

9.[emoji22] Another hard night with poorly cat. Was awake for 3 hours stressing before I did my morning bm. Will check again in a few hours but ate well yesterday so pretty sure it’s just the stress Have a good day all
