I’m in the same boat, similar story in terms of managing blood sugar and hospital visits after a period of time following t2 diagnosis of being reasonably well controlled my blood sugars went haywire and being stuck on a low cal low carb diet much like you, as anything more than that sets my bm...

Konjac noodles smell ‘fishy’ and I have to rinse them for like a year before the smell disappears. Also texture is a bit rubbery I find but will do in a pinch. Explore Edamame spaghetti is the nicest tasting I’ve found out of the low carb options.

Thanks. My DN was like ‘you’ve got coeliac, you have an under active thyroid and meds have stopped working, I’m pretty sure you have type 1’ but I will just wait and see on the bloods. It would I guess explain why low carb isn’t working and all meds are doing is keeping me out of hospital at...

Thank you for the reply. I’m in metformin and gliclazide (both max doses) and was on sitagliptin but for some reason this resulted in me getting random hypos (after food, before food, didn’t see a pattern other than it was I no the evening) so they stopped it. DN said will wait for results of c...

Thank you for your responses. Saw diabetes specialist team and they think I have type 1 latent autoimmune diabetes. I’ve just had the blood tests and am waiting for the results. My blood sugar has been all over the place- not as high as when I went in with dka but I am doing omad and low...

Hello all, and apologies for the constant questions- I’m new to this! My blood sugar has greatly reduced which I attributed to a combo of low carb, intermittent fasting (initially 16:8) and also having sitagliptin added following my hospital stay. A week or two ago, after being on sitagliptin...

Hello everyone I’ve been doing IF and low carb for a month or so and greatly reduced my bm to now normal levels, plus lost 5kg. I’m feeling a lot better in myself too, more energy etc. but last few weeks I’ve started feeling cold, particularly in my hands and feet, but overnight I’ll wake up...

Thank you both. It’s gone back down to normal now [emoji18]

Hello everyone I’ve been doing low carb (40g net, sometimes more sometimes less) and 16:4 IF for about a month. My blood sugars have greatly reduced in this time and I’ve lost around 5kilos. In three weeks my bm was averaging around 5-6 am, lunch and evening. However this week I had a slight...

BM this morning- 5.6 Yesterday I did IF 8pm-12pm lunch - lettuce wraps with quorn and vegan mayo, mange tout and tomato, and some green pickled peppers dinner- vegan sausages with celeriac chips, spinach salad with acv dressing Snacks- handful of nuts, and a sugar free sweet total carbs...

Meant to say covid doesn’t necessarily spike your bm but being unwell can

I am doing 16:8 and occasionally OMAD. My blood sugar started much higher in the morning but after 4 weeks of 16:8 and low carb my morning bm is in normal range now. I’d say keep going it takes a while to see results. Also been watching dr Jason fung on YouTube, and bought his book the diabetes...

I am in exactly the same boat. My blood sugar is always higher in the morning but also if I go out walking/shopping or go for a jog or do yoga it goes up despite doing if/low carb. It’s reassuring to know that if I persevere (only been low carb for 3 weeks) this will potentially improve.

Hello all Since my blood sugar went through the roof and had to go to a&e with dka I have gone low carb and intermittent fasting. My blood sugar has started getting much better and my phone made this fancy graph! It’s still way higher in the morning but lower than it was and is 4.5-5 in the...

Today I missed lunch due to work but decided to go with it… just had a massive meal of roasted kale, avocado, onion, tomatoes with a cauliflower steak and two slices of keto vegan bread. Blood sugar 5.3 this pm. Still high in the mornings (9-13) but I’m not been doing this for 10 days so hopeful...

Hiya, thanks so much, I’m loads better now. Didn’t realise how ****** I felt until I felt better. I’m glad my partner talked me into going to the gp! I was treated for DKA and dehydration have n hospital and sent home. Gp have prescribed me sitagliptin but since I’ve gone low carb my blood sugar...

Evening all! My food today was Breakfast- nothing, trying intermittent fasting and seems to be working well Lunch- vegan low carb purition shake with almond milk Dinner- vegan sausages, big helping of roast kale and small handful of chickpeas, (lots of seasoning)celeriac chips and low carb hot...

Update- blood sugar am started at 15 then went to 30. Called gp who called me in and found ketones and glucose in urine and sent me to a&e where They said I am dehydrated. (Despite me drinking a lot this morning) blood sugar now 14.6 but haven’t eaten anything all day. They’re running bloods...

Thanks so much. I’ve just taken it again and it’s gone down to 16! Still high but better than it was. It’s just all over the place. I will monitor it over the next few hours and if it goes up again tonight I’ll be off to a&e. I’m so bummed by this right now

Hello everyone I have been t2 for approx 5 years. It wasn’t controlled by metformin because my diet and exercise were both terrible/non existent. I was prescribed 80mg gliclazide which brought it down and then lived in denial until last year when I finally got a diabetes review at the gp. It...
