Hi Mrs B ..She was delighted it worked for me, I asked again why the nhs cannot or will not at least consider the possibility of recommending a LCHF to type 2's . I got the same reply as last time. They are simply not allowed to step outside the trusts guidelines for treatment. She knows of...

Hi Mike, hope your well buddy :-) ..and regards to you and yours

Hello Mrs B , it's great being in a good place again, we can live encased and engulfed in this condition, or we can manage it break out and lead a normal life as possible . I chose the latter :-) So far value wise we have found 2 Silver Hammered coins, One is a Queen Mary Groat, and one a...

Hello all again, I trust you are all happy and well. I have not posted for a while, due to Christmas and other things. My BS soon got back to normal range after the holidays. I've jumped back on the LCHF wagon and whilst my weight suffered over the festive period , im starting to lose it again ...

I had a terrible time of it when I started LCHF , those symptoms you describe are just the pants. It's normal to think that you should be going with minimal carbs as possible, some say none at all however the amount of energy our bodies and brains need , do vary from person to person. I upped my...

You've done well Mike, and I would only suggest you go with what you feel is right for you. I have been on them since 1998 with no apparent side effects. But as we all know we all can react differently to them. My doc has suggested that if I can get my readings into line and sustain it, then he...

Oh Mrs B, you've made me smile. Well done you, all your hard work and dedication is paying off ...hope next year is even better for you. Happy new year

Hi legslip and welcome to the one place where diabetic sanity reigns best :-) . If you haven't already I suggest you get yourself a meter, and test 2 hours after eating. This way you can find out what foods spike you. I'm a T2 as well, as for me, all bread, cereals, grains, rice , and of course...

Most of us have an occasional tipple...just be careful...and use your meter.....if it's beer...then I would say no...leave it....it just turns to sugar

I can't offer any advice ...but I can send you a virtual hug and hope your mum feels better soon

The odds are stacked against us :-) In 2012 it was reported that half a million people aged 90+ living in England and Wales. They might only represent about 1% of the total population, but given that the number has increased 33% since 2002, they're likely to become a bigger part of Britain...

Not much left that works to recycle my friend:-)

I don't mind living until I'm one hundred....its losing my youth I fear :-)

Haven't tested this morning yet, ...not so ashamedly , we end up having a very late night, after watching telly we started singing Christmas carols in bed, then decided to have jack Daniels , which led to the munchies, so the ham and cheese sarnies and hoola hoops appeared , followed by a...

And what's wrong with a giant chunky kit kat :-) ...only joking ...I love Bavarian smoked cheese, well any cheese actually, i love the stuff . On my weaker moments, I do confess to raiding the kids sweetie cupboard.

Can't help with your insulin requirements, but I too have had several colonoscopies, I opted for medazalam ( sp) it's far less potent than general anaesthesia, it has fantastic amnesia effects but you are compliant . I don't have to use preps, about the only benefit of having a Stoma :-) . With...

If you press my avatar it will take you to my profile, from there there is a "message" envelope in the red top toolbar, hit that and type away :-)

I was 5.1 this morning after a carb free breakfast , I then had a cold meat snack mid day, then suddenly felt really shaky and weak mid afternoon so I tested again and it was 4.2 , had a lump of cheese and felt much better. I'm confused as to whether this feeling was because of hunger , or...

@Liverbird1...I also have diverticulitis and have had a diversion for 10 years . LCHF can effect this. Not the kind of topic we can cover easily on open forum but if you ever feel the need , shout me up on a pm . Sounds like you have a great gp there....a keeper for sure :-) Take care
