76 is by far the highest I have ever seen. The highest other than that has been 55 which has been this last 18 months. I was diagnosed in 2015 when only just into diabetic figures. They'd been testing me regularly since late 2013 as I had gestational diabetes. I controlled with low carb for...

My diet hasn't been great but it hasnt been horrendous either. The majority of my meals had still been low carb. If I had known hba1c was being done I would have been expecting fairly similar to last time, which was 54, based on what I hsd been eating. I had wondered if the low iron levels...

Thank you for your kind words. An exercise bike might be a good idea. I'm quite short of time with work and my son so can be difficult to get to the gym much. I already keep my tablets by the fridge but still forget them! I will start putting them on the table as I put dinner out so I can't...

Thank you, it has been tough. Feels like the world won't give me a break lately. Feeling very woe is me! Sorry. Logically I know the testing is a tool to give me information about the meals I'm eating but I know from last time I was doing much testing I would get stressed by the high fasting...

The short story is in the title - got hba1c of 76 today. Long story I've had a tough couple of years with a period of 18 months stress at work which resulted in me being off sick with anxiety for 4 months from March to July last year. I started taking sertraline in June which has helped a...

Sorry for not coming back to this sooner. Thanks for your replies. It's interesting that people have experienced similar but attributed it to neuropathy or recovering nerve endings/lowering bgs Whatever it was, it seems to have gone away now. It certainly wasn't unpleasant but I'd prefer it not...

Hi Since yesterday I have been experiencing a strange sensation in my right foot. It seems to feel warm but not to touch, just the sensation of it. It comes in waves every now and then, almost like someone is pouring warm water over it. It's not a burning sensation as its only a warm feeling...

@elleyouer I came across this recipe on a Keto Facebook page and I thought of you. Looks like pretty good KFC replacement! I know not as convenient as a takeaway but might be nice to try. I’m going to give it a go...

On midweek days when we can’t be bothered to cook then we may get kebabs - I have mine without the bread so have lamb and salad with chilli sauce. You might find Nando’s is better than KFC as there isn’t the same coating.

I agree with an earlier poster, this journey is a marathon not a race and you need to find a level you feel comfortable with and can maintain. I find like most journeys there are ups and downs, it’s not always smooth. I can be doing well and enjoying LC and other times I hate that I can’t just...

Thank you both. I’ve put the boxes in the freezer as they are

I’ve seen a few people mention having these cakes on the what have you eaten thread so I treated myself to 4 different types! They are delicious but I need to freeze them, partly so they don’t go off and partly so I don’t scoff anymore of them this week! I don’t want to get used to sweet...

I’ve not made it yet but it’s on my list https://familyonketo.com/keto-black-forest-cake-keto-lchf-schwarzwald-cake/

I’m 41 and haven’t had mine yet. I queried in passing with the DSN when I spoke to her. She said group 6 is in the group to be vaccinated by 15/4/2021. I guess they haven’t refined the target dates any more than to say groups 5-9 will be by that date

When I think about it, my weight is currently only 6 lb less than it was in 2015 before I did the ND so maybe I have passed my fat threshold for when resistance and ineffective pancreas kicks in. I started yesterday trying to get my weight back down - I’ve wanted to lose weight again for...

Hi. I have updated my signature as it did leave somewhat of a blank for the last 5 years! Basically maintained 39-44 since 2015. BMI generally 26. BMI currently 28. I wonder how much of the issue is weight gain. Seems a huge difference in results though for relatively moderate weight gain No...

Thanks for both your replies. I never thought about the possibility of effects increasing as I continue to take it and the amount of medication in my body increases. I just thought it would at worst continue to cause the skin issue. Oops. I have taken one this morning and did find my skin felt...

I have just started taking metformin (sukkarto SR) yesterday. I took it at about 10am and by 4pm my face felt hot and tight (but not particularly red) and I have what feel like tiny lumps under my skin all over my face. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it wear off after taking it for a...

I bought the freestyle libre yesterday to do some CGM for a fortnight to try to work out what is happening. May extend to a month but will see. It’s v expensive! My fasting readings had been a bit lower than the previous couple of weeks. They had been 10/11 despite starting low carb again, and...

No, not taking statins
