I don't know anything about protein shakes but; Normally whenever I exercise I see a drop in my BG levels, but I have found that on a few occasions when I have pushed myself during exercise my BG levels rise or don't drop. I wonder if, when pushing ourselves hard, we put stress on our body, and...

I have been on a low carb diet now for around 8 months. After a couple of months I was loosing too much weight so upped my fat content, thus started LCHF. My BS levels are much lower with low carb. Now on LCHF I feel this is sustainable for life. I don't get hungry between meals (because the fat...

Hi karen I was 58 when diagnosed T2 (my 1st ever stay in hospital), never been overweight, then 3 months later reclassified T1 LADA (via a phone call from the UK whilst I was in Australia). It takes a while to come to terms with it all. For me, the more I have learned about it the more able I...

After 58 years of never putting salt on my food I am now trying very hard to break the habit... Whenever I now remember to salt my food I never get cramp, if I forget I get cramp at night. LcHf diet for 6 months now

If you are still eating carbs, this anxiety / shakiness may be because your BG have fallen fairly rapidly, eg maybe an hour or two beforehand you were in the 7s..... I used to find this until I started testing 1hr AND 2hrs after meals.... It often occurred when I needed to pee more than...

Hi Sandra Welcome to the forum. As others have said, a great place to learn from others experience. As you have posted under the LADA section I take it you have been diagnosed T1 / LADA / honeymoon. I am the same. Diagnosed T2 sept last year then T1 / LADA in December aged 58. Many of us on...

No meds. No insulin. Have a read of Dr Bernstein's solution book. Around £5 to download on kindle or iTunes. He writes about this, and says sometimes it feels it is getting worse before getting better.... Mine is definitely better, but still not 100%. He also says you need normal bg levels of...

Hi Reaman I am similar to you. Diagnosed T2 sept 2013 then T1 LADA dec 2013, no insulin or meds. Around a year ago I noticed my toes were getting cold and tingled, my diabetic nurse tested my feet and found I had lost my senses in my large toe. A year on and with a hba1c of 5.2% I think they...

I managed to put on 1 1/4 stone whist on a low carb diet (around 40 carbs per day) about 6 months back. I had gone on a low carb diet to get my BG low, and this worked very well, but my weight dropped (to BMI of 21). I managed to put weight on by increasing the amount of meat, fish, cheese and...

Any coffee you like.... I use filter coffee

I read somewhere that the need to pee is often caused by dropping blood sugar levels. Thus if high and drops to 5.5.

Mine consists of: 30g coconut oil and 30g butter in a tall mug, then fill half the mug full of coffee. Whisk well, until you have a good creamy froth on top (this is essential, as it creamifies the coffee). Top up and enjoy.

Sorry, no idea

The pure coconut oil in larger Tesco stores at £1.50 per large jar is oderless and tasteless of coconut Bulletproof coffee alone is around 500 calories. More than many breakfasts.

Omelet. 2mins in the microwave Mix an egg or two in a cup with some double cream and chopped courgette tomato and mushrooms and a sprinkle of turmeric, then pour into plastic omelt dish. Half way through add some cheese. I add some pre cooked chopped bacon into it as well

Try upping the fat content... Double cream rather than single?. More coconut oil?

I have been having 30g coconut oil per day now for a couple of months and never had a problem with constipation. I am on a LcHf diet, about 36g carbs per day. I do eat a fair amount of salad.

Judith Try it with kenco decaf. Sometimes I have a bulletproof coffe with instant coffee. It isn't so good, but still ok. The main / important thing I have found is the mixing. It needs a good mix until you have a froth on top. I have a battery mixer (floppy wire whisk, about £3.00 each) and...
