Thanks @bulkbiker. Greek yoghurt is 5.3gm/100gm. But will try to limit to one bowel per day. Don’t eat bacon but will try something else (cheddar, fish, beef steak). Will mix it up with the berries. I’d be very surprised if I can get into the low 5s. My fasting sugar is typically in the 6-6.5...

Thanks @Tophat1900 and @JohnEGreen. Much appreciated. I'll bring up the question of my anaemia and its possible influence on my HbA1c with my doc. As for my diet, this is typically what I eat in a day. I don't eat breakfast. At around midday I'll typically have 250gms full fat Greek yoghurt...

Hi there I'm 69 yrs old. I was diagnosed T2 in Dec 2017. I took measures: went down from 85k to 65k, started my own version of an LCHF diet (around 60-70gm carbs per day), tracked food daily on MyFitnessPal, started exercising (brisk walks mainly. 5k). HbA1c went down from 51 to 38, but over...

Just came across this. Boy, is it good.

About 10 days ago my wife received an email from her brother. He had been hospitalised because of a sore on his foot that had become quite infected. Following evaluation, the consultant told him that he was diabetic, that the results pointed to his having been so for a number of years and that...

@Dark Horse. Very useful information. Did not know this. Thanks.

@Hotpepper20000 — not tomatoes, but roasted peppers topped with feta cheese. Yum. [emoji106]

@Mike D. All I can say, is you better be **** right about the steak + Imodium remedy! If not, I’m cutting to the chase and implementing @Guzzler’s idea. PS At least I can laugh a little. Yesterday I felt like death warmed over.

OK. many thanks for all suggestions. Right now, I’m waiting to get seated at the best local steakhouse. Earlier, went to the chemist and they recommended a probiotic. Purchased that and some more Imodium. Liked the suggestion about chicken broth AND not to worry about rice for a couple of days...

@Guzzler, forgot to mention, not on meds. Just diet and lotsa exercise.

Thanks guys. Have done the Imodium bit, but that’s done nothing. Am drinking lots of Gatorade (the sugar free version) for the electrolytes. @Guzzler, fasting is not out of the question, but fancy @Mike D’s suggestion of a steak. Will give the latter a try, but failing that will definitely fast...

Guys I’ve contracted some kind of stomach bug and, since yesterday, I had nothing but the runs. Unfortunately, in the States for a week so can’t see my regular GP. at any rate: what to eat? Everyone is advising sticky rice, which being T2 I can’t eat. Any ideas? Thanks John

Yes, I do test daily and I average between 6-6.3 mmol/ L which is well bellow the 7.5 I’d have to have averaged to get an A1c of 45. You’re right though, my carbs gave crept up from a daily of around 50-55 to 65-70.

My last test about 6 months ago registered 38. The test was an NHS test. Because they’ll basically only test me once a year, I decided to get tested privately through letsgetitchecked.com. It came back at 45. The service seems to be quite good (although getting to fill a test tube from a...

Thanks @helensaramy. Much appreciated. Yes, I’m building up to the distance. I regularly power walk 3 miles (daily), but yesterday upped it to 5 miles. Will increase by 2.miles a week. What to eat though... [emoji848]. Guess will just have to as you say trial it. Thinking of tangerines and nuts...

Guys, have just signed up for the 2019 charity London Moon Walk. I’ll be doing the half marathon option and since I’m T2 (no meds), just wondered what’s best in terms of nutrition for energy and hydration during the walk. Thanks

Hi Tracieann Welcome. And you’re doing the very things that’ll put you in control of your health. I myself was diagnosed T2 in Dec 2017 at the age of 66 with an HbA1c of 51. Since then I’ve lost 19kg and gotten my HbA1c to 38. And I’ve done it just like you: diet and exercise (no meds)...

Thank you guys. That’s helpful. Will read article and watch video.

In an LCHF diet, can you overdo the percentage of protein to the point where you can cause kidney damage? Hope this question makes sense. Thanks John
