Last week, 100g or less. This past week between 20 and 50g

Thank you. Fortunately, other than these little infections from time to time, I don't have any other issues. The cyst/ boil healed a good while ago and hasn't returned. I use hypoallergenic soap etc because I have always had sensitive skin and I don't use creams, potions, lotions or perfume for...

Yes I test. I've been on 1 x500mg Metformin for 2 weeks (double from tomorrow) and lchf for about the same time. My bg is reducing but is obviously not low enough yet. Lowest they've been in the past 2 weeks is 7 before food and 9.2 two hours after. An hour after that, down to between 8 and 8.6...

My last Hbca1 was 80, up from 50 last year. I've started on Metformin and lchf to remedy this. I had been getting little infections in the skin creases around the top of my legs , under my belly and under my breasts, along with a cyst that healed and then came back again despite keeping myself...

The DN gave me the form to complete on the 2nd November. OH took it back to GP a few days later. My exemption card arrived yesterday. Obviously depends on your GP, DN and possibly where you live!

I don't feel I have enough experience to offer any advice but I'm sending calming hugs x

Following on from the first post.. I am a full week in of taking 500g Metformin. I tentatively started low carb high fat too. Tentative because I have a fair bit of weight to lose and my brain was struggling to accept that fat is good. Anyway, I haven't weighed myself because my weight loss is...

Apologies if this is an ignorant question, but I am new to LCHF and trying to get to grips with controlling my readings. I have lost a decent amount of weight on slimming world over the last 6 weeks but they advocate low calorie, high carb. I need to make the switch but I'm scared i'll gain...

So through luck not judgement, after diagnosis 8 years ago, i have only recently started taking Metformin. I explained to my mum (also my boss) what was going on. She has never got it. Convinced herself the doctors can't be right because, well it's me, so it's wrong. I don't fit the stereotype...

I love eggs. I have just made a big bread tin of eggs with quark over chicken, mushroom and shallots in the oven for half hour. It's lovely. Have boiled eggs most days and you can't beat a fried egg imho. I'm struggling with carbs atm because I'm not a fan of 'above ground' veggies at all. Eggs...

Thank you for your kind words

Oh what a plank I am. Sorry

The DN nurse put name forward and I got sent a password and link. It shows my latest results so I'm guessing they are personal to you rather than being a site anyone can browse. Perhaps ask your GP for access?

This looks so lovely. I might even give it a go. Thanks

Hi everyone So I've been feeling pretty ****** lately and finger prick tests over the last week or so were showing higher readings than I'm used to despite losing just over a stone in the last few weeks on slimming world. Although I was diagnosed 8 years ago, I have so far managed to control my...

Hi there Thanks for your reply No, I'm not on statins. In fact, until today I haven't had any meds except painkillers. I've been to clinic and asked about my aches and pains and they have ruled out anything diabetes related. Back I go to the GP

I'd never heard of moxibustion....I have now googled it and know what it is! Thanks for the tip

I can't help with your symptoms etc but my pharmacist suggested I got a pre payment card for my prescriptions. It's a fixed amount every 3, 6 or 12 months and even if your prescriptions increase, it's the same price regardless. I pay a little over £10 a month so I'm currently saving approx £15 a...

The last physio checked my reflexes and they were okay. You are the first person to get what I'm saying about the dishes thing lol. It's so painful at times. Physio went so far as to say that it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem because I have pain. What? I put sciatica in inverted...

Thank you for this suggestion. It looks very promising. I am mobile but would like to be more mobile and this looks like it could certainly help. Thanks so much for taking the time to post
