    Mothers Day 3 Course blow out - have I beat diabetes?

    This has happened to me. I've lost about 1.5 stones and since then i've never seen any BG tests over 7.5 regardless of what I eat. My last HBa1C was 39 so like yourself I am testing naughty foods to see what happens. Fingers crossed nothing yet has any drastic spikes

After some very scary home BS tests I decided to go on a LCHF diet. Fast forward to today and I have managed to lose about 1.5 stone. I test my blood every day and...
