Dear All I have been 'off the wagon' for a year and feel terrible. I couldn't keep up the low/moderate carb diet and have stopped exercising and feel incredibly low. I was doing so well but just lost momentum and am in a worse place than when I started to make improvements. I don't know how...

Hello Everyone The wheels have well and truly come off my wagon. I've been low carbing for a couple of years now and been doing well but since April this year I have been really struggling to keep to any of it. With pretty horrendous bingeing on all the bad stuff. It was this kind of binge...

Hello all I'm considering the 600 kcal diet to see if I can improve my HBA1c and to get rid of some pancreatic fat (apparently the biggest contributor to getting type II in the first place). I'm seeing my doctor next week to ask about support and/or to find out if anyone locally (diabetes...

Hello all Does anyone know how much having a cold in the week before having an HB1aC test can affect the results? Mine was a bit higher than expected recently but I had a streamer preceeding it. Thank you Mimi

I've been doing the low(ish) carb thing and have got my HB1AC down from 8.1 in July 08 to 6.0 in December 2008 and am hoping for anything below a 6 next week at annual review. It's been really hard to maintain the low carb diet, so I give myself occasional treats, say, once a month, of a slice...

Hello Can anyone suggest good protein based meals for a vegetaian low carber that isn't all to do with dairy (having a crisis of imagination!). I love cheese but if I eat it at the rates I'm currently at I'll probably have a heart attack from all the fat! Thank you kind people. Mimi

Hello I'm new to regular testing whilst trying to work out what carbs are right for me to include in my diet. Every day my first test on waking is in the upper 6s 6.8, 6.9 etc. I'm aiming for below 6. Is that right or do I just assume something near 7 is right for me. 2 hrs after evening...

Hello Helpful people! I was diagnosed type 2 two years ago and seemed to get the hang of things but then I had a really bad case of 'why me?' and was eating more of the wrong things than before I was diagnosed. This lasted about 8 months when my Hb1aC went from 6.1 to 8.1. I've spent the last...
