T2 - Diet controlled - LCHF. Been on this since June 2015. When I was diagnosed (and ignored it) I had no symptoms like tiredness, excessive thirst or peeing a lot. The first HBAIC that I took notice of was 57 or 7.4% before starting LCHF. Three months into lchf it was 53 or 7.0% . That was...

So I went to bed with a BS reading of 5.4. Got up a bit late this morning, looked out the window and saw I was about to get a parking ticket for having back wheels on the yellow lines .. grr! Slung a coat over my PJs and still in slippers (raining out) I flew out just in the nick of time and...

I've been doing lc/hf since the end of June 2015 and I have lost weight (albeit not fast or drastic) and gone from 12st8lbs to 10st2lbs. According to some BMI calculators I am in the normal range for my height (5ft3in) and age 72. Others say I should be under 10st. The thing is, I look...

I've been doing strict low carbing for about 6 months and lost over 2 stone and BS was good for the first 3-4 months but I did find I had a lot of dizzy spells and Myfitnesspal often said I wasn't having enough calories.. Admit I often didn't feel hungry and skipped meals (stupid). I've been...

Sorry it is Pregabalin but I don't know how to change the title. Has anyone had or know anyone who has had any experience of this pain med? My GP has prescribed it for my chronic back pain until I get my referral to the Pain Management Clinic. It came without any information leaflet about...

When I was first diagnosed in December 2014 I had an HBA1c of 7.3% or 56 mmol/mol. I told the DN that I would lose weight, change my eating habits and exercise more. I didn't do any of these things and carried on eating bread, chips, pies, cakes and biscuits (head in the sand/it's not...

Every time I experiment with any low carb recipes they end up in the bin :yuck: My Ooopsie bread would make rather nice stepping stones for the garden My Brie Puffs ended up as a pool of cheese on parchment My Crunchie Peanut Butter muffin was like a doorstop And as I'd not got any cheddar I...

7.3 this morning :( Not good and I don't know why.

I'm using Myfitnesspal and logging all the foods I eat but never really got to grips with all the other stuff on there until the other day when I found that under "Reports" there is a drop down menu, under "Weight" that calculates your Potassium, Cholesterol, Vitamin A, C, etc. and I was shocked...

I've only started lchf this year so probably there have been threads about this before but I can't find any through "search". How do you all deal with the temptations? Christmas dinner, I guess just leave out the roast potatoes and stuffing, have plenty of turkey and veg. None of the usual...

Well first off, I'm definitely not pregnant ..lol, being well past child-bearing age. My problem is that if I stand sideways in front of a mirror (and lift up my heavy boobs - sorry if that's TMI) I have the same shape as someone who is 9 months pregnant!! Under my bust I measure 36" then I...

I had a morning BS of 6.3. Ate half a Lidl's High Protein roll with peanut butter and 2 hours later it was 7.3 :( Does that mean that one or other of them is off limits to me? I have my first blood test next Monday since starting LC/HF and I so want it to be reduced enough to impress the DN.

I know it's stupid but due to unforeseen circumstances I haven't been able to go shopping and today I literally run out of all my LC/HF standbys. I thought we were going shopping this afternoon so I just had a brunch of half Lidl's HP Roll with tuna mayo on it. But then we couldn't go so come...

So ... I know it's still early days but although my BS is now averaging the 6s as opposed to the 8-11s when I was first diagnosed I don't seem to be having the important weight loss like others have reported. I was really pleased with my reduced BS and saw that as a positive sign that my next...

Edit your profile to add a signature, i.e. put some details about Type, meds etc.? Please?

Usually, in the past, when I've tried to cut out all the sweet stuff to try and lose weight I've ended up with frequent Migraines which I suppose I've used as an excuse to come off the diet and fail again. Ten days into the LCHF diet and I've had 2 so far. I'm "lucky" that I don't get the...

So I started on the LCHF regime about a week ago but I only started to log my diet and results on Sunday so this is what i've got so far: LCHF DIET LOG SUNDAY 12TH JULY Morning 7.9 Breakfast: 2 fried eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms 2 hours after 6.5 Lunch: Salmon Salad with Garlic and...

Hi guys. Well I've been a bit quiet since joining but I have read and read and learned a lot but obviously not enough. I embarked on the LCHF diet at the beginning of the week hoping to avoid the need for meds. Haven't really noticed a major change in my BS readings but averaging 7.6 except...

So.. probably this will turn into a book. About 3 years ago I was told I had to have yearly Glucose Tolerance Tests which as I'm sure you know is fast, blood test, drink yukky Lucozade and go away for 2 hours, come back and another blood test. PN always said it was "a bit high" but that what...

Hi all :) I have read so much information about Type 2 Diabetes that I am totally confused so I know this forum will be the answer to my prayers. My eyes are on stalks at the moment with reading so many posts on here before deciding to join and it's late, so for now I will just leave it at...
