Good morning, havent been on here for sometime. Ive just come back from my Diabetic review with my Diabetic Nurse. We discussed a lot but amongst the discussion we talked about another medication that could help reduce my blood sugar levels which are quite high.(73!) We have decided to try an...

How about melting the 85% chocolate and then either adding sugar free flavourings or chopping up strawberries or grating some Lemon or lime zest and mixing in then freezing. Yum!! [emoji4]

Hi everyone, it's been over a year since I checked in on here. I'm back and really need some help please. Over a year ago I was following the LCHF way of eating. I lost weight and my sugar levels were great, I was able to reduce some of my medication, I was swimming 3 times a week and going to...

Almond bread sounds yummy, do you have a recipe please? x

Chorizo & mushroom omlette

I had my check up with diabetic nurse at a new surgery about 2 months ago. We had a heated discussion as she told me that I was a drain on nhs resources by testing my blood. I admit I am testing very frequently at the moment but I have recently started LCHF way of eating which I told her, I...

I have hypothyridism and have been on LCHF since beginning of Feb. Im wondering if it is my thyroidism that is making me still feel tired and foggy headed?

i meant to also add that im T2 ;)

High BG and ketones are something that T1's need to be mindful of i think, please correct me if im wrong. :)

Hi @Jillyp83 , i was just about to ask the same question!. I have just returned from a nurses appointment this morning and she had checked my urine sample and asked if i was on a low carb high fat diet as my urine showed high level of ketones. When i asked her what the actual reading was she was...

:happy: Recipe please!!!

Yes i am a woman @Winnie53 , and yes it has crossed my mind regarding being perimenopausal. Im going to try cutting down on the cheese, fat bombs etc. I think it was worried that i wasnt having enough fat due to still feeling hungry, maybe it was actually the opposite. Anyway, im going to go...

Yes, I think I will, it must be something I'm eating or maybe the portion sizes. I feel that as my body has got used to not having as much carbs now, I'm starting to get hungry mid morning and mid afternoon again.

Yes I started to use myfitnesspal but I kept forgetting to input my meals into it.

Hi Guys, hopefully someone out there can tell me where i am going wrong with this. I have just been weighed and am feeling really down as i have put on another 1/2lb!. Sorry if this gets a bit long winded but here goes. I had a HBA1c result of 54 in December 2014. I began LCHF at beginning of...

can anyone confirm how often this test should be carried out? Is it every 3 months or every 6 months. My new diabetic nurse gave me the impression it is 6 monthly, but I'm sure I've had it done 3 monthly at my old surgery?

Funny enough I just changed docs cos we moved I I will also buy my strips if they stop me getting them on prescription. Ive got too much to lose to start ignoring my diabetes which is practically what they want you to do. I need to take control of the situation as much as i can if i want to...

I agree, the nurse told me that didnt matter what i did my diabetes was going to get worse anyway due to the fact that part of having diabetes was down to genes which was out of my control anyway! :banghead:

I have had about 4 different diabetic nurses as i have moved alot recently, and they have all been absolutely fantastic. It was just this nurse at my new doctors surgery. Its the first time i have had a heated discussion/argument with a medical professional. I understand that they have certain...
