thanks everyone for your contributions. Food Log, BS logs and Drs it is....

Goonergal, yes a K2 combined, sorry to hear Covid has contributed to this issue. Seems every Dr now is putting things against C19. I think I'll do the BS levels at 1,2 hours etc as Bulkbiker suggested too. If this is unclear I'll look at the Libre. I will try the Drs for a blood tests as others...

Def not a snorer, but my wife is...I never wake her, way to risky! LOL

Hi Ellie, I was actually thinking about this.....I can't see it in my bloods taken in May. Got the usual Type 2 broad range testing, I do wonder....Think I'll get to the Drs about this....Painful getting past the reception triage! Thanks Anything in the low carb/keto range of foods to help...

VashtiB thanks. The poor sleeping is a silent emotional roller coaster, only us that suffer know what it brings. I'm not shy with the salt that is for sure, but I think I'll add some more, I do love good pink salt....Funny thing is I don't give Carbs a second thought only when I have to explain...

Goonergal, Thanks for replying. Fatigue is always after eating, I'm a usual get up and go person...A Lark some would say! Although I do force myself and when I was commuting daily I'd like a 20 min nap on the train on the way home. This helped a little to balance out the previous nights sleep...

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is well. So my journey for a better way of life continues....A few bumps along the way... For the last 3 weeks it seems that literary everything I eat, I get a completely overwhelming (to the point of dangerous) fatigue. I mean really bad I would not drive...

Morning all, annual bloods this morning...should be interesting. I am wondering if whilst they are doing so should I ask for any other checks? I’m not too sure what they are going to check in the annual one?

Thanks all...knowing I’m not alone helps...[emoji3]

Thanks for this...in the 10 plus range when I started, I’m comfortable with the figures but stubborn readings are doing my head in. Yes I was thinking of dropping my late night snack. (Reluctantly though...love the feelings of the naughtiness of it, even though I know it’s not too bad)...

Hi all, so I’m 4 weeks in low carb and feel absolutely fine. However my BG fasting is in between 7-8 at waking and then about the same at a fast of 16 hours. I’m drinking water at 3 litres and 3 cups of filter coffee. I’m keeping carbs no higher than 30g per day and protein at 170g and fats at...

So this time last week after having a dreadful discussion with Nurse. After reading lots of advice found here and taking everything on board (thank you for those who commented) I switched from 160g of carb to 50g. I just simply removed all the carbs. Adjusted my macro to 60% fat, kept my...

I tend to lean towards plant based foods...maybe red meat or chicken once per week, no processed meats and fish 2 times. I don't have much dairy beyond yoghurt. Rarely Cheese...Nuts and lots of Eggs , My main source of Protein is Eggs and Egg white. (Proper nuts, not Peanuts)...I'm seeing a lot...

Thanks I'm slowly wrapping my head around low carb....But I'm not looking to lose weight rather getting the BS levels right for me. Hence my reliance on Calories in/out. I don't want to lose the 'Gain's I've made in the Gym...At 52 years they are hard to keep at a lean level....so I'm thinking...

Thank you, I've beed reading about Stan and looked at a similar posts you replied on about Protein. (if I can get away with a bit of rice I'd love too) same with Apples and Melon. I eat Full fat Greek Yoghurt and Protein powders with summer berries when I need to protein up to my targets. As...

Thank you for this....Yes, meter and monitoring all the way, after this mornings readings of 13 2 hours after breakfast of Black Beans and Sourdough I'm paying for this, it's taken 5000 steps and 5 hours to get it to 7.1. I think after reading a lot here, I'll take it bit by bit....Diet is key...

Thanks...makes sense about the fats...I’m always hungry esp after hitting the weights..advise of the butternut taken...cant wait to see the families faces when I plate that up! Lol

Thanks thats very helpful...Yes def married to calories...I like tracking them but not overly so( I keep this well away from the family) to avoid overdoing them in all circumstances...I’ll be mindful this switch over...I relate to that completely...I am defiantly going to speak to the Drs about...

Thanks I will see whats around. The mere goggle of low carb takes me straight to keto sites. Do you know any that are for low carb only 80-120 kind of area? Ah..this makes sense...I thought saving them after I had a heavy weight training session was the way to go...maybe I should divide them...

Thanks. We have a treat box for the kids all in moderation rather than reward. Both have egg and nut allergies...we really don’t get how that worked out! I also have a treat...mine comes in a bottle called Gordons..other brands too! Def black and white...its hard as there is so much...
