    How much weight have YOU lost?

    Hi, I've now currently lost 2st 9lb since 1st Oct. My HBA1c in March was 98 and now in Dec reduced to 54. So happy with the LCHF eating plan. DN has reduced one of my metformin tabs to 3 x 500, and suggests if I carry on controlling my blood glucose as I'm doing with diet/exercise I could...

    Hi Everyone, I've just come back from the DN and I wanted to share my good news to you all. My blood pressure is still a little high but not high enough to increase my tabs. But the best news ever is back in March my Hb1ac was 95. Today after the tests are all back its now 52. Still too...

    Lchf & high blood pressure

    Hi, I don't drink coffee only green tea no sugar. I only eat fresh produce and never add salt to my cooking. When I'm back at the DN this Friday for my blood test results, I'm sure she will retest me and make that decision to increase my BP tabs. (Or not) But in the meantime I'm going to walk...

    Lchf & high blood pressure

    Thanks @noblehead. It's just I didn't want to increase any meds if anything I wanted to decrease them. :)) I already walk an hour a day 30'mins in the morning and the same again when I get home from work, so maybe I need to increase this? As for relaxation what's that? Lol Yes, maybe I need...

    Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

    Thank you for all the encouragement. Sorry I don't know how to copy my original post. Two months ago I was always in the 16's (T2) and have been a diabetic for 2 years and in total denial of it. On the 1st October I decided to turn my whole life around. I found my DN wasn't that much help just...
