I have lost about 28lbs - another 28lbs to go . I am on about 60/70 carbs . Weight has been lost around my thighs and my stomach .. I now have a waist so the nurse is not necessarily right about belly and thighs being the last place to go but remember we are all different. It is all a...

Obviously we are different but I am a diet timing similar to yours. My experience has been as follows - I am on Low carb and intermittent fasting for about 6 weeks.IF seems to be helping a lot with dawn phenomena. I lost about 28lbs about 1 or 2 lbs a week and then for six weeks I stayed...

I have been on a low carb diet ( with a couple of blips for special occasions) since September and testing my bloods . The good news is that my blood sugar has been going down from high 7 to 6's and 5's with the occasional high 4's . I also have been doing 16:8 and this seems to...

Interestingly the sample daily menu included a cheese and onion roll, a pork pie, three hash browns and a a can of full sugar cola ... as well a 3 eggs, cheese ,chorizo, belly pork and butter and 30 gms of nuts and not a vegetable in sight.unless you count a potato! . Looks like this is a...

If you do not take on enough water you can get a headache particularly with low carb . I find I have to make myself drink and if I have a headache I will drink a bit more to see if it resolves it.

Sorry that the nurse did not answer your question . I know everyone is different so I am not sure if my experience will help ou or not. My experience is that as long as your BS is under control then you hopefully will heal like "normal" people. I had normal Blood sugars when I had my...

Well 9 is much better than 17 so congratulate yourself as well as avoiding chocolate.. you are going in the right direction. I know it can be disappointing when you think you have been good and you either feel hungry or think you have not got the results you want. I know that I would feel...

I am seriously impressed that you were able to go home after a day, I was in for 2 and half days and thought I had done well. Yes the anesthetic /meds probably made you sick, it can be the meds if particularly they are morphine based . I did not start driving until 5 weeks and I did tell...

I do not have much will power but I have found Low carb reasonably easy, although with the odd blip. Do try to go low carb but maybe not as hardcore,if you find it too difficult and see if you can low carb alternates .. for example lots of people on this forum seem to like the Lidl high...

I have found that there are different qualities of cider vinegar so a one with mother in it seems to work better , but as you might find everyone seems to have very personal reactions so may or may not work for you . I have found eating earlier helps with Dawn Phenomena but others swear...

I think if you are considering fasting you need to do it in the way which agrees with you and your life style . I was low carbing with three meals a day BG was reducing but dawn phenomena was quite a issue for me . I thought I would try 16/8 and this has worked for me and I am very happy...

Scrambled eggs with a lot of butter as well as low carb makes it easier to clean the pan and only takes a a couple of minutes.. you can microwave scramble eggs but not as nice as made on a hob. Microwaving cauliflower,broccoli or green beans is really easy and then can add a bit of...

Looks like it was very clear that the question asked was about T2 diabetics . The comment that that there is no association between total carbohydrate intake and glycaemia (blood glucose level) takes the breath away . I wonder what they think impacts blood glucose ? I can quite believe...

5.3 this morning and 5.3 last night . I have increased my carbs as I was 4.3 for of days and suffered awful and vivid nightmares which looking at other threads could indicate I might be getting a little low overnight... I take no medications so need manage by diet

As you will find , people are all likely to have different reactions to various food and drinks so is a bit trial and error. I have definitely been better since I reduced the diet drinks , the occasional one is fine. Sparkling or soda water with or without a slice of lemon is also nice and...

Thanks for the advice . I did not think about thyroid as it was not cold all the time but this was one off freezing but will raise it if I have more events . The day I got so cold I had not had a lot of fat as I am hoping to lose weight and I had stalled a bit but will add add some fat...

I have been reading the forums with interest. Bit of a long story In June 2015 I had a minor accident which resulted in me going to GP for a tetanus injection ( I had cut my head rather badly in the garden ). The nurse would not give it unless she was allowed to take a blood sample .. I...
