I’ve been struggling with my diabetes management for a while. Nothing changed on the eating front still low carb but it just got harder to control. My evening numbers have been okay but I couldn’t get the morning ones into single digits no matter what I did. It was very disheartening. I was...

My eye screening is always due around this time of year and last year I had a horrible headache for hours due to the light sensitivity. I’ve just come back from this year’s and due to the timing it was dark when I came out. Things are a bit blurry as usual but no headache so far. I’m home in a...

I’ve just accepted a change to my job which means for 2 weeks each month I’ll be working out of another office at the other end of the country and staying in a hotel. I’m trying to get my head around how I need to adapt my diet to the fact that I won’t be able to cook for myself half the...

Today at work was frustrating and stressful generally and when my BG dropped before lunch I apparently wasn't great at hiding that fact. I had a couple of people point out to me that I seemed calmer this afternoon. I know it's one of my main early warning signs that I might be heading for a...

Gents this thread is not for you so if you stumbled in here by mistake back away now. I have PCOS and type 2. As I have zero interest in having children my doctors have had zero interest in treating the PCOS beyond commenting that the metformin I'm on should help. I seem to have an inverse...

I'm finally getting myself back under control after having let everything go to pot for a while and with lchf back in place my readings are looking a lot better. I live alone several hundred miles away from the rest of my family and with some willpower when shopping I've stopped buying things I...

I'm not great with portion control with anything and I'm the type of person once something is open it calls to me to finish it. I want to be able to have a small amount of dark chocolate some evenings but the small amount kept turning into a not so small amount. I did a bit of a google and...

I'm trying to get properly sorted with LCHF. Breakfast is okay as is dinner but I'm struggling with lunches at work. I work in an office and it's one of those places where most days you grab something easy at your desk. Ever since I started working I've had a sandwich or a wrap and I can't...

For the 2nd time in 3 years I was in hospital to have a perianal abscess drained under general anaesthetic this weekend. Got another extended period stuck lying on my front while it heals up. The surgeon wants me to go in for an mri scan to see if there's a reason it recurred. I just wondered if...

Over the last week or so I've really been struggling with the heat and humidity. I'm bloated and sweating all the time and I feel exhausted. The only time I feel something like okay is lying on my bed with a fan aimed at me. The only other time it was this bad was a couple of years ago when I...

I've been overweight my entire adult life and to be honest most of my childhood. I went on my first diet aged 10 but never really got anywhere, just ended up all the heavier in the end. I was diagnosed as T2 in June and the weight is finally coming off. I'm down nearly 5st from my heaviest...

I was diagnosed as Type 2 in June. I'm 32. It both was and wasn't a shock. I was over 20st, 3 out of 4 grandparents had it along with my dad, so I figured I'd get it eventually but I thought I had hopefully another 20 years or so before I had to deal with it. I had a pain in the back of my leg...
