Hi Amber, I had my gallbladder removed years ago. If you are eating a lot of fat, you may find it aggravates your gallstones, if it turns out you have them. You'll have googled it, but I thnk what happens is gallbladder responds to fat by producing gall, the producing of gall aggravates...

Hi, if it helps at all, I found LivLife bread, 4 carbs a slice, really helpful as giving up bread seemed a big ask when I was diagnosed. Not very widely available though in Supermarkets. Waitrose often stock it. Finding alternatives rather than giving up too many things kind of helped me...

@GeoffersTaylor , you have inspired me into action, truly, thank you. Followed your link to this post and saw your amazing bread. Have been doing low carb eating for a year , and not baked a low carb thing. Today, having seen your fantastic bread, decided to try cheese scones, almond flour...

Hi, loads of good advice above, you sound to be doing great. Drinking water supposed to help too, throughout the day.

Hi, how did they turn out? They sound very good! If you have the recipe would love it. All the best D

A sub forum for diabetics with no gall bladder could be useful?

Hi @tim200s, thanks for the link. You may have come across this and author not a medical dr, but was very interested to read Amy Bergers book the Alyzeimers Antidote - lots of content regarding links between insulin, the brain, benefits of lchf. Will be really interesting to see outcomes from...

Hi @jeanie_2010, welcome Saw your post. I don't have Alzheimer's, but have been reading about it as a relative does, along with diabetes and other health conditions. You'll be much more widely read than me, but I was very interested to read book by Amy Berger, The Alzheimer's Antedote, who...

Hi @hungryjoe, welcome. I was advised too not to test, but having read around, and found this forum, gave it a go. I think it helps motivate me, seeing impact of food/exercise on my blood sugar levels, but it's a personal decision. Certainly if you are interested in self testing, I'd give it...

Hi, @Enclave and @lovinglife, glad your numbers didn't rise.....it's interesting that they didn't, read a few other posts elsewhere on forum along similar lines....am just wondering if our bodies might be getting a bit better at dealing with carbs after maybe resting and recovering on low carb...

Hi, as for travelling on lchf, lots of good suggestions across the forum, for me, so far, I've found jar of almond nut butter, olives, gherkins, baby bels, nuts, dark chocolate, nut bars from the natural low carb store, all good. Tin of tuna/salmon for emergencies! Eating out OK especially if...

Loosing weight,but perhaps even more importantly, so far, keeping it off and eating some luxurious tasting foods like cream and butter. Other than bs levels and weight loss, sleeping so much better is amazing - was an insomniac but now sleep great most nights. Good thread!

Hi, I read somewhere that rapid weight loss can cause at least short term hair loss, as it's all a bit of a shock to the system - that could be a reason why some newly diagnosed people report this, if seeking to control by diet/exercise/weight loss. Read too that nuts, esp Brazil's, good for...

Hi there, congratulations. Try not to worry, I'm type 2 so not much help to you, but just stopping by to say hello as we are both awake!. If you search the forum there are some threads that might be helpful for you, search using 'type 1 pregnant' should do it. I'm sure your medical team will...

Hi, very interesting to read your experiences. I've lost three and half stone, numbers Ok, but like above posters, would love to get consistent morning 5s. Three months after diagnosis I got them down for a while, then they went up a bit, now coming down but still getting 6s some mornings...

Hi, I'd second @nosher, but if you really want to try some, have a look at the natural low carb store on the web, I've only tried their nut bars for snacking when travelling, but notice they do meals too. Quite a few ready meals from supermarkets are low carb. (Sorry,rubbish at inserting web...

Hi @Romeran, I'm awake too, and snacking! Can you tolerate nuts? I have to watch animal fat, but do better on nuts, some cheese, etc

Hi, mine are lower on holiday and like you, sadly, am wondering if it's stress caused by wirk etc, apparently a stress hormone turns protein to sugar.... Have been trying to drink more water, and walk a bit more, and that helping. And also tell myself, worrying is not going to make anything...

Hi there, hmmm, wondering if dark chocolate would help you more than a kick!! If you could find some treats that you really like, that would also be kind to your bs levels, that might be encouraging, and comforting. W are all wonderfully unique (I have to keep telling myself this too), and...

Hi mac and mart too, Don't be too hard on yourselves, it is a change to get used too, so be kind to yourselves . If it helps at all, when I as diagnosed almost 12 months ago, I found the best way of eating well on my new lower carb way was planning nice meals ahead, so I didn't get bored with...
