I have the utmost joy of having major dental surgery in just under two weeks time. The upshot is that I am going to be on a liquid diet for quite a while afterwards. I know that pureed/blended vegetables aren't ideal on the sugar front, but I'm going to have to resort to that, and would like...

I'm in my second week of doing lchf, and this week I was really pleased with myself because I seemed to have found a diet that I enjoy and haven't felt hungry at all. My readings have slowly improved almost to a normal range this week and I've lost a couple of pounds. Then yesterday happened...

Started on 10mcg about 8 months ago and had a dreadful time with nausea and diarrhoea, but went up to the 20mcg and it took about 2-3 months to get settled. After that, I found that it stimulated my appetite instead of suppressing it (but nothing ever goes quite to plan with me!). Going low...

I'll give it a little more time. A typical work day has consisted of a few slices of Roast Chicken, or a boiled egg for breakfast. Mid morning snack of cheese, or olives (about 5 kalamata olives). Lunch has been chicken or tuna with a green salad and some avocado (which I've just checked on...

How quickly do you notice your blood sugars levelling out when on LCHF? One of the reasons why I started LCHF on Saturday was that my blood sugar has been all over the place lately, so I wanted to bring it down and keep it down. I'm on my third day in and quite shocked that my 2 hour post...

Today is my first day back on LCHF for at least 18 months. B. 2 x homemade beefburger patties. (Essentially just minced beef and an egg to bind... but making them into patties makes them freezable). L. 3 Chicken Thighs, some cheese cubes, some mayo to dip. D. Sausage and "Mash"...

My friend had Gestational Diabetes when she was pregnant. She sent me a text telling me that I should check out Thorntons Sugar Free Chocolate, because it was "delicious and tasted just like normal chocolate". I texted her back and asked her how long ago she ate it, to which she replied that...

I've been on metformin for 2 years. Initially the side effects were horrendous, but it did pass after about 3 months, and now I don't notice any side effects. However, I do take 500mg 4x daily, instead of 2x500mg 2x daily.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I was diagnosed two years ago with Type 2 Diabetes. I've been on various different medications, but seem to be settled for the moment on Metformin 500mg (4 times a day) and Lyxumia injections. When I was first diagnosed I did a stint with LCHF...
