T2D medication just changed to 1 x Metformin & lowest dose of Empagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor). Plan increase dose of Empagliflozin after a month or so (presumably to see if I have any problems with it). I've been warned to drink plenty of fluid and the possibility of penile thrush. My...

As has been said earlier, I think the fact you were already LCHF has made the difference

PLEASE let us know if you think it has had any meaningful effect

Very good points but wonder what effect it has on the Dawn Phenomenon ?

These seem to be the main points (apparently all tested/proven):- When taken before a high-carb meal, vinegar slows the rate of stomach emptying and prevents large blood sugar spikes (1). It also improves insulin sensitivity, which helps your body move more glucose out of the bloodstream and...

Did you use the raw stuff (with mother) & do test readings ?

Perhaps its me, I thought the benefits of ACV were well known for stabilising blood sugar in Type 2 diabetics. Mr Mosley did a decent feature on it a while back and results were positive but I was well aware of it even before then. I'm a bit dumbfounded...

Many of us are aware of the benefits of ACV but havn't found an answer to this in searching the forum:- Would taking eg.1 x teaspoon of Stevia (sugar substitute) negate the effects of 2 x teaspoons of ACV in a pint of water ? I'm not a chemist but concerned the Stevia may make the ACV too...

Looks pretty accurate to me

Let us know how you get on

Thanks everyone - a couple of interesting ideas there - I'm particularly interested in that A1cNow but only real concern is how accurate is it likely to be compared with a normal blood test ?

Can anyone recommend a private company that does HBA1C readings ? I get an annual one from my doctor but would like to keep track of where I am upto a bit more regularly (ie.6 months). I've had full blood tests done in the past through my work but as not early retired, I dont get these. Happy...

Fatty Protein ? Would nuts count ?

I'm on 2 x Metformin (slow release)/day for T2D. I used to take one in morning and one at teatime. Recently been on hols and started to take both in morning - does it really make any difference if you take both together ?

I did exactly the same this morning although didn't really get an after-taste

Thanks for the suggestions - consensus seems to be decaf and stay clear of the milk (and sugar of course)

Any recommendations re drinking coffee of LCHF ? I tend to like skinny Latte but only just realised it will cause a spike in my glucose levels - I forgot to test it when re-trying my Freestyle Libre recently. Can someone point my in right direction on this ?

@Guzzler - thank you for posting this video. It's possibly the best investment of 30 mins of my time I've made in recent years. Really pleased people like you take the time to post it !!!! THANK YOU

I put in an email complaint from their website and got a similar response - need everyone on here to write that uses the product

How did I miss those posts ????? Anyway, complaint sent to Lidl Head Office, gutted
