I take Forxiga , metformin 1000mg morning and night and 20 units humilin I at night and never had a hypo but spend lots of time in loo but upside is you’re peeing out calories . The more carbs you eat the more you pee ( I’m my experience ) . Good luck [emoji4]

I’ve been on it years with not a single problem

Good morning all , just started on Trulicity yesterday , I was previously on 18 units Humulin I and 1000mg Metfornin twice daily , DN told me to lower insulin to 10 initially then depending on having any hypos reduce it . I reduced insulin to 10 units the night before I started Trulicity and...

Hi Angie and welcome :)

Joining this forum will prove to be the best thing you ever do Dean, I have learned soooo much, got control of my blood sugars really quickly , and am 3.5 stones down since end November and 2 lbs away from "ideal" BMI !! Enoy eating in a way that pretty much flies in the face of my many dieting...

Hi Lovable and a warm welcome ! You're in good company :-) Don't ever feel alone, we have all been where you are now and certainly for me the fear left when I found this place and I know should any concerns arise I can holler on here and someone will always answer with sound advice :)

Fairy, I was exactly the same trying to get used to the full/high fat aspect - years of Slimming World I daresay LOL ! x

Hi Fairy and Happy Birthday :) I was diagnosed 5 months ago and by following a low carb full fat plan I have lost 3 stones very easily ( and I was a frequent visitor to Slimming World prior to this lol ) So my advice to you is in the first instant stick with this forum and the lovely people here...

Once again Cat I think you are doing so, so well :) I too spend a lot of time at hospital with my daughter who has a brain condition, the last time I cracked on 2 occasions and bought a sandwich ( first time I have had bread since diagnosis in December ) - first time I had to get my friend who...

You're doing so well :)

Can I come to yours for lunch please ? :)

Hi Cat and welcome :) Sorry to hear of all the stress you have going on at the moment, can't be easy. I like to think of the way I eat as low cab , full fat rather than high though that is a personal choice. In my case I have shed about 2.5 stones since Dec because I find my appetite is...

Thanks Johnnymac - and well done to you too that is an amazing improvement :)

I test 2 hours after my first mouthful of food :)

Don't forget even housework counts as exercise and as your blood sugars decrease you will likely have an increase in energy anyway :) I got bought a hula hoop at Christmas and although I am rubbish at it the very act of trying is quite hard work ! And currently my daughter is in hospital again...

When the nurse called me in we hadn't even reached the door of her room when she said "have I got exciting news for you " !! She almost mentioned the "powers that be" are starting to recommend lowER carbs - it's a start I suppose !

Thanks Patricia I really am , it's great to see being pro-active pays off - and this forum and it's amazing members played a huge part in it too :)

Morning all, just back from diabetes clinic , and HBa1c down from 69 to 49 in just two months - this LCHF works !! Weight down 5kg in that time too .....happy nurse, happy me :)

I try to think of it as full fat rather than high fat. It's essential to keep hunger at bay if you're low-carbing. I started this way of eating beginning December just gone, and have lost 2.5 stones, gone down 2 dress sizes, and if anything under-eat as I rarely get hungry though I DO get the...
