Thanks for your replies. I think I will have the injections and hopefully they will make walking and driving a bit easier at least for a while. It's just the thought of my bs going out of control when I have been trying so hard to keep them normal! It does seem that this will probably be just...

Thanks for the quick replies. I had read that my bs is likely to rise but hopefully someone here can maybe give me an idea of by how much. @artofflowers were you taking bs readings daily before and after your injections? I think if it is only likely to have bs higher for 10 days or so it is...

Has anyone any experience of what these may do your bs levels? My T2 is controlled and now in non-diabetic range by lchf only. I am just weighing up the pros and cons about having a series of 3 injections for my arthritic knee. I understand that these may help a lot or may not as they don't...

Thanks for all of your comments. I have done great until now and do not want to make too many changes to the way I am eating lchf so At the weekend I decided to go down the route of tracking everything I eat with my fitness pal. Just from a couple of days I can see that I am having too much...

I have been doing great on lchf since May 2016. Have lost 29kgs and type 2 in remission. Bad news is my weight loss seems to have totally stalled in the last few weeks and I have at least another 11kgs that I need to lose. I am 50+ female that only walks for exercise as have knee issues...

3pm is usually a big mixed leaf salad with full fat mayo plus either chicken, tuna, egg, ham. Occasionally I might add in a rasher of crispy bacon, a few nuts or pumpkin seeds for some crunch. Then if I'm still hungry a full fat Greek yogurt with 2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds. I used to hate...

Hi Mimi's, I was type 2, and I have been sticking with intermittent fasting 16:8 for about 8 months. I was originally on 2 x 500mg metformin and no, my blood sugar never went too low. I don't think it will go too low for most type 2's. I just had and still have a coffee with a couple of...

As this post and the other comments show getting the levels down is only the beginning. I have realized even in this short 9 month period that my bs behave when I lchf. As soon as I eat that piece of cake which has been put under my nose they shoot up. Although my doctor says I'm in...

Hi Bulkbiker, Really well done. The Hba1c is great. My last two (taken 4 months apart) have both been 4.9% which I and my doctor thought was good but yours is better! Keep up the good work.

Great news for you. Feel proud of yourself!

Well done lisajo2016. It feels so good when you see these improvements for all of your head work.

Congratulations. Really well done. I am doing pretty well too on lchf but your results are amazing. My weight loss seems to have stopped in the last few weeks so I will need to tweak things a bit I think.

Hi Shez, Not sure what Stuart is doing but I changed lifestyle to lchf. In the first 21 weeks I lost 20 kilos although that has slowed down now but still losing. I am sure there are others here who will have shown even quicker weight loss than this on lchf because they will also have been...

Hi Pattendown, I don't know if you need to lose weight or not but the main thing you should be focusing on for yourself is your health and your future. As all of the others have said test, test, test until you know how different foods affect you. Stick with a low carb high fat plan and you...

Hi BigJim, I think, as far as I'm concerned this will always be a work in progress. I have seen the drastic change for the better in such a short time so seven months on I am still focused on never slipping backwards. As one member of the forum mentioned to me before isn't this way of life...

What great results. Stick with it and I'm sure you will see further improvements. Well done.

What great results. The lchf way really does work. I have lost 25kg so around 4 stone since May this year which I would never have thought possible before starting this as I had never managed anything like this result ever before. No matter what age you are this way is the way to go. Again...

Yes I saw the Lindt 99% so bought a couple of bars several months ago. They are still in the cupboard almost intact! They really must be an acquired taste. I took one bite and as you say thought yuk, then tried melting a little to make a chocolate mousse but even that was too strong a taste...

Well done june3579 that's great news for you. Personally I think I will always keep testing occasionally no matter what any doctor says. I know now that I am carb intolerant as strayed off course a couple of times last week while on holiday and noticed the difference. Low carb will always be...

Really well done. It takes a lot of time, effort and sheer determination to do what you have done. I am following the same lchf route and have lost around 23kgs so far but still a way to go although all bs readings are good now. It was the thought of the possibility of the same things you...
