Are them mixed nuts in Lidl low carb? The ones I looked at weren't. Agree with everything else you say.

Money is no barrier to low carbing. Eggs Meat Salad. 50p a bag in Aldi. All affordable. Buy a whole fresh chicken - cook on a Sunday. Divide and freeze.

Blimey it's a bit gloomy! Here's an explanation.... http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Ways-to-donate/Type-2-ad-campaign-FAQs/

Is this a recent ad? Gotta link?

My ALT was ridiculously high at diagnosis - got the third degree about alcohol intake too! Then I went LCHF. On my next appointment my hba1c was at non diabetic levels and ALT was reduced four fold. He couldn't believe it. Neither could I really lol...

Fasting is 5.6 Breakfast is 2 boiled eggs. Lunch is Chicken salad ~ 6g carbs so I'll be low all day today.

I can't see any reason not to trust your meter. Even if it's the worst meter it will still show you what spikes you. Then your hba1c will give you the bigger picture. :-))

My meter has allowed me to make pretty accurate hba1c predictions. I even say to the nurse let me predict before you give me the result. She was amazed.

7.4 or 57 - went in for acid indigestion. The GP saw I was over 40yrs and did lots of blood tests. I was caught early I think as I have now reversed the condition 12 months down the line.

It fascinates me! I've only ever worn contacts once ad that was fancy dress one New Years Eve - hated them. I could wear them again though if it could improve my health. I think the demand would be phenomenal.

Was just experimenting - I rarely eat that many carbs in a full day normally. Ive never seen 11.0 on my meter before. I had a little mini panic! I was delighted to see the 6.6 reading. That may mean my body responded with a good amount of insulin....

Fasting BG 5.9 1 hour post breakfast 9.0 2 hour post breakfast 6.6 Breakfast was 3 Weetabix and 300ml of full fat milk equivalent to 52.7g of carbs.

Ok :-)

So an OGTT proves nothing?

I wish you well @AndBreathe

Yeah - I always cope very well tbh

I've lost 3 stone.

I find it curious that I can be as negative as I wish with NHS treatment of diabetes but it seems that to want a second opinion of my diagnosis elicits a quite different response. It's interesting :)

Yes I believe I started finger pricking within 3-4 weeks of diagnosis. I don't have a hypothesis I'm just seeking clarification of what the situation is. At the time of diagnosis I was recently bereaved and my diet and alcohol intake was not very good. I want to know if it was just for 3 months...
