Hi Folks Well I am now about 4 months in, I have been following a fairly low carb WOE and have lost approx 24lb (fluctuates). Just preparing to leave Kalkan,Turkey where we have been on holiday for the last 10 days so don't know where my weight is sitting at the moment. I haven't been really...

Hi I have been LCHF since 30th April and have lost just under 9lb, now I know people say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day but I do, I have fitbit scales and just pop on them every morning first thing. I am a little disheartened because I truly expected to see a dip today but have weighed...

So I had my blood tested a couple of weeks ago and the result was 54, I have been following a low carb (ish) diet since the 30th April so a week or so before the blood test (taken around the 8th/9th May I believe). DN requested that I repeat the test within two weeks for a confirmation. The test...

Just wondering if anyone has ever monitored their bloods found the to be high 8-11 at various testing times only to find that the HbA1c result is that they are not diabetic. Clutching at straws here!

So I haven't actually been to the doctors yet. I got tested a couple of years ago, my blood sugar levels were after fasting 6.8, they tested again the next day and the test was the same so they referred me for a glucose tolerance test. The wait for the test was 3 weeks so in that time I went as...
