Thank you all ...... yes, I'm still having to dodge the statins, but she didn't push it.

I went to see my diabetes nurse today for the first time since I adopted a LCHF diet. I went armed with a chart showing all my positive readings, ready to fight my corner. To my amazement, she was delighted for me, said whatever works for you - carry on. She agreed there was no need for me to...

Thank you very much for all the replies and support. I think I was just a bit rattled after talking to the doctor. I get so much help and information from this forum, everyone is so positive. Thank you once again.

Thank you, britishpub, I have done that.

I began following a LCHF diet just over 2.5 months ago. I have been T2 for 9 years and, like many others, was eating carbs at every meal and my numbers were going up and my weight wasn't going down. Last week, I had my hbA1c and I was 47, having been 67 when I started the LCHF. My weight has...

I met my brand new great-grandson, Leo, in the same week I started my LCHF regime. Both have changed my life.

As part of a programme to combat my fatty liver, my doctor's surgery sponsored me for 12 weeks at Slimming World. I filled in an initial form, stating i was diabetic and also on a LCHF way of eating. The woman running the evening rattled through a booklet of information with myself and three...

Before I went on my low card diet (into second week now) I didn't eat ready meals or any kind of salt knowingly. Do I really have to introduce salt into my diet?

Just finished my first week on low carbs, still puzzling over some things, but beginning to understand more (reading lots of posts on here). B: bacon and eggs L: tinned salmon, tomatoes, green pepper D: cauliflower cheese, green beans, brussel sprouts, broad beans, peas, greek yoghurt...

I'm having problems with my eyes at the moment, so I'll have a word with my optometrist next week. In the meantime, I'll start with breakfasts as well as cutting back on carbs at my other meals. I feel more positive already, just for reading through the forum and asking questions. Thank you all...

Which book, LinLiz

Thank you, Avocado Sevenfold. I'll take a deep breath and get started on the new routine. Just need to decide whether to go cold turkey from Day One or do it in stages.

Just been looking at the low carb for beginners. I think I can cope with most of that, though I will really struggle without potato. I have a question, though. I drink a double gin each night with about 500ml of slimline tonic. Do I need to give this up? My nightly tipple used to be dry white...

Today I ran up and down the stairs three times every hour on the hour. Got my heart racing each time (I'm 72) and the muscles in my legs ache like fury.

I found your forum through the article in the Daily Mail today. I have been Type 2 Diabetic for nine years. I have slowly crept up to 8.1 and am being pressured to increase my medication / go on to insulin. I eat quite well, very rarely sugar products but am beginning to realise I should be...
