Thanks for the push. I'll give it a try and see how this goes. Appreciate it.

Hi all. My father died in the first Covid lockdown and I lost my mind for quite awhile. I also had to teach a performance art subject online for 15 months. It was horrible. I literally had just become non-diabetic - reached that range - before my dad died, and then stopped caring about...

Hi all. I was doing really well this past year - lost in total 60 lbs. But as usual, once work intensified in the autumn and then with a lot of commitments that involved travel, hotels, people, buffets, I just lost the plot and began to binge over the Christmas break. I'll be honest...over the...

Ah! This is good to know. I'll discuss it and watch this over the summer. Thank you for that info. MM

I literally have been battling my specialist on this point, and went to Australia at Christmas to see a friend, then saw a Keto specialist who is an endocrine specialist. He blew me away with his answers to everything, and we followed up with tests there and in the country where I live now. I...

Thanks, Freema. This is still very volatile, depending upon my 'adherence' to this way of eating/living, so I guess I'm going to have to monitor how I feel when exercising. It's rare that I push myself as hard as I have as of late, but I want to get the next 20 lbs off. Thanks for weighing in...

Thank you for sharing this. So good to hear of your success.

RE: WEIGHT LOSS AND POSSIBLY BEING OVERMEDICATED NOW AS I'M COMING DOWN IN WEIGHT/GLUCOSE Hello, beautiful people at Diabetes.co.uk. I think it's time I checked in - I have made progress since last posting here, and in between that time and now - many times I have thought about this group...

Thank you, ALL. Lots to think about. I’ve done my bloods and will see where I’m at now. I’ve started working out again. I’ve read the Diabetes UK advice on statins and quickly looked at the NICE Guidelines and a friend very up on Keto etc has urged me strongly to keep off. I’m certain I’ll carry...

Hi all. I am working with a psychotherapist and this has been a rough patch for sure. She’s on holiday at present, too. But yes...you nailed it, Pipp...it does then affect my self esteem. But this is hard, too. I recognize my progress and want to halt the slide back. It’s funny how you can...

Okay, I am having a total up and down experience AGAIN for what must be the fourth time. I've shed 37 lbs from 233 lbs at a high, and did get as low as 186 lbs but slid back up to 196 this month - work stress. I have not been taking my diabetes or thyroid medication properly or regularly - not...

Hi all. I have to say...I have been experiencing definite confusion with regard to approaches re. diet and moving downwards. After following the Newcastle Diet for about five weeks before the summer, then going HCHF in a sense while travelling, and losing the PLOT completely while in one country...

I will re-post from another thread where I started and now add in my cholesterol numbers, which have RISEN. This is a concern. Heart disease runs in my family. I’m refusing statins 100%. Any thoughts on approach to diet other than Keto appreciated. I believe I’m still battling fatty liver...

I read this last month and appreciated the reminder. Addiction. Hmmmmm. Yes. I’m working at the level of creating habits. I’ve been yo-yo-ing up and down 3 lbs and am now at 196 lbs. Probably more accurately at 195-194. I’m aiming for the next 10 lbs off. My last H1AC was 5.39 last week. But...

Checking in. This past summer, I travelled and took two meditation intensives...attended two full week-long retreats, one of them silent. I can see the franticness in my mind is gone, to a point. It's a journey. Start where you are. You are always where you are. I ate green snap peas all...

Thank you for asking...I measured...and knew these numbers would be down from my original. I suppose I really need to have another go at it in two weeks. :) It's slow re. the weight loss right now, but I've cheated a bit on the diet, and last night was out at friends' for dinner (lots of goodbye...

Hey there. I have not taken measurements yet, but I can fully see that I'm fitting into clothing I had stopped fitting, and I will measure soon. Yes, step by step. It's hard. People leaving country. Going away dinners. It's very hard to stick to this right now. I don't know if I'll conform 100%...

Now that I have read the recommended article below...I am certain to not touch any form of refined/processed carbs again for a very long time. Terrifying. http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14046782.php http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14045524.php http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14045678.php

W What a shocking article/set of articles. Thank you for this. This was the MOST EYE-OPENING THING I have EVER read on Type II Diabetes. And I've read a fair bit at this point. It's made me stronger to carry on getting my numbers down. OMG. Seriously. Put the fear of god into me.

End of week three...I have lost 19 lbs. I broke the diet three times. And I'm aware of the need to rein it in or this is going to derail altogether. I'm trying not to have extremist thinking about this, as I'm aware that there are 80 lbs to lose not just 40, and then I need to keep it off. I...
