Hi all, haven't been on for a while. I was diagnosed type 1 aged 4 in 1978, so 38 years ago. I too remember the glass syringes and huge needles and borrowing a bg meter from the doctor for a week once a year! (Really hated that week too).

Thank you all. Nocrbs4me. Thanks, that makes sense. I have a fair bit to lose before I get to a heathy bmi.

Yes, I have lost 26lbs now since January. Also I have stepped up the exercise, swimming and cycling aswell as dog walking.

I have been reading your posts with interest DD. I do have alot of cream and cheese in my diet since january. Have also found avocado which I now love. Not too keen on fish, but have started to eat salmon. I only really ate cod, haddock anf tinned tuna before.

Not a bit of margarine, vegetable or grain oil has passed my lips since I started LCHF. I use extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and butter. I eat a few nuts/seeds a week, pecan, walnut, chia, flaxseed.

I have 30 - 50g a day.

Hi , I had my results back from latest tests and my HbA1c is down to 6.3% (45), from 9.2% (77) in January. Before that, last year it was 6.8. I started LCHF in January. My total cholesterol was 4 mmol/L then. Se non HDL 2.1, calculated LDL 1.5 mmol/L, serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 1.5...

I get the sweats too when I eat cheese, always have done. Not on metformin and never have been though ;)

I've been on Tresiba for just over a year too and find it flat. I take one dose a day at about 9pm. I was also on Lantus before and find Tresiba better for me.

Thanks Pasha

Please could anyone tell me what a whole avocado weighing 140g should be? Carbs & Cals says 3g, but on my fitness app I have tried 3 different entries and they vary from 11 - 16g. Quite a difference I'm sure you'd agree. Thankyou :)

Hi all, I had an epiphany in January whilst speaking to my nurse at my surgery. She suggessted the low carb diet as my hba1c was up alot from last year (6.8 to 9.2!- I had a bad year). Something she said made sense and so I found this forum and after reading lots about LCHF, I started cutting...

Hi, I have been on Tegretol (carbamazapine), for the past 10 years due to blackouts/seizures. My neurologist sent me for tests,. BG always in range when I had them. Over the years, the carbamazapine have been stepped up from 200mg to 400mg and now I have not had any blackouts in over 2 years...

Signed.

Hi Brian, I started on the LCHF diet in Jan and have lost a few pounds each week which I am really estactic about, but so I don't become obsessed with it all, I weigh myself once a week, on the same day at the same time (ish). That way I feel i get a truer idea of how much I am losing. Good luck :)

Thank you! That's Alfie, he's nearly 8 and has 'issues'. We rescued him at 19mths. Also have 2 other dogs :) (Apologies for going off topic)

I fry mine for about 90 seconds in Olive oil. Tastes yummy!

Hi all, For breakfast this morning I had blue and raspberries with cream sprinkled with chia seeds and for lunch I had 3 rashers of bacon with a diddy bit of ketchup. Trying to give ketchup up....honest.

Hi all, I have lost 16lbs since the end of Jan on LCHF diet. It's slowly coming off! I have mobility problems, but do have dogs to walk and I have just started cycling eveyday so hopefully the weight will come off as the weeks go by. A big thankyou to this forum and the people on it for being...

@Ali H, Hi, I too know what you're going through. My mother in law is 79 and has Dementia and Diabetes, She has carers and DN. Her BG is only checked once a day at 9am, by which time her levels are not too bad. When I'm there, during the day, I test her BG and it's often 17 mmol +. Told the...
