You might find you need to buy normal wide fit ones, plus some heel grips. You stick them inside the shoes, at the back. They sell them online eg on eBay, or in Timpsons or any supermarket.

For me it passed, then returned after about 11 months, at which point I announced "I want to eat a dozen iced doughnuts, smoke forty fags, and drink two bottles of wine". I didn't do it. *sigh* The feeling is one I continue to struggle with. Coming on here helps.

I like those occasionally too, and the ones from Holland and Barrett. Fine with bolognaise, or in car bonara. Need to rinse them well because they do smell of the sea! I understand it's an underwater plant.

No, it's pretty efficient.

I drink 2.5 to 3 litres of water a day, and it has had no ill effects on me. I use lo-salt for cooking, take magnesium supplements, and swallow chunks of Himalayan pink salt too if I'm fasting for a while. I drank that amount even before I got T2, because I like it!

Thanks. My mother had a horrific wound on her ankle for years before her death of a heart attack, and my grandfather lost his legs. I'm anxious to avoid it!

5.8 today.

My son has been taking it for a year, with no side effects. It has really helped. There are a lot of studies supporting supplements to help as well . He takes folic acid, magnesium and omega 3. His psychiatrist is fully supportive of that. Good luck!

Why is it bad to wear socks that are not loose around the top? Is this the case even if your A1c is in normal range through diet?

I'm so, so lucky because my husband and 17 year old son (neither of whom is diabetic) are both low carb now too, just for health. We therefore have nothing "off plan" in our house, and order takeaways and restaurant meals with "no chips, potatoes, pasta, rice, bread or naan, please!" We all take...

Aldi Skyr is very low carb, as are Alpro soya protein yogurt, and the Alpro one with coconut. I eat those, and Fage, and the Aldi Brooklea Greek yogurt.

Rock and a hard place, eh? Fat and diabetic or skinny and bald.

Thanks. Is there anything we can do to minimise it?

Thanks for the replies. I'll try that out ... tests a few times while still fasted. I thought liver dumps only happened when you're sleeping?

I wonder if it's because of the metformin? I know being keto means the alcohol makes you drunk quicker but I'm struggling to understand this.

Meat and chicken are fine, so I don't understand why you advise against those?

Or is it ok to wait an hour or two?

Lol, I'm 5'11 and I was rather huge. I think I was 8.5 stones when I was at primary school!

I don't count any more. I did ND with food for 8 weeks, then low carb. Rarely manage the 20g keto level. Usually under 50 though. Often I just eat in a two hour window, so it's a long fasted period. I was diagnosed 13 months ago with fasting BG of 12.4. I had a fasting BG in 2014 of 7.8 that was...
