Brilliant news. I 'm just trying to avoid another round of having to get blood tests every 1 to 2 months to monitor cholesterol :-0

Yesterday B - Chicken strips and celery sticks L - Sauerkraut 500 g D - Roast Turkey with all trimmings , swapping roast potatoes for roast celeriac. S - Sugar free Jelly and a couple of kit kats.

Sally Cinnamon (The Stone Roses)

Received excellent advice and help when I was first diagnosed ~ 4 years ago. Nowadays it keeps me motivated to manage my diabetes properly.

5.3 again, happy with that!

I low carbed strictly for 3 years i.e less than 30 grams per day. I ended up with cholesterol problems (high LDL) . Before I gave up low carbing I was experiencing insulin resistance. The immediate effect of dropping fats (especially saturated fats) improved my insulin sensitivity quite...
