I am here in a bit of a panic. I live In Scotland, almost the other end of the country from Southampton where my dad lives, he has just been told that his cancer treatment is no longer working and therefore there's nothing more they can do. I want to go and see him whilst he is still ok, but...

Hey folks, I know there is a thread on the low carb forum with suggestions for meals/snacks etc and I wondered if there is anything on this website for ideas for what to cook with the fruit/veg when following the low cal diet. Also does it matter what you eat as long as you stay at 800 cals a...

I have been looking through the threads and I checked out the main sticky one but most of the links lead to errors now, could anyone point me in the direction of the video where the diet is explained. Many thanks xx

Hi folks, I have bene suffering from numbness in my left foot and sometimes in my right foot also when running ( recently re-taken up to help me shift some weight and consequently help my T2 and High BP. I get to 3 miles and it starts and I feel like I am running on a stump, sometimes 2 stumps...

Ok so when my BG is around 7 or even 8 I feel fine, but when its in the 4 to 6 range I feel like death on toast, makes no sense because the lower it is the better its supposed to be, but it appears to work in the opposite way for me. I have been on a LCHF diet for a good while now but the yucky...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has experienced this and if they have discovered it is related to Diabeties. I have recently ( since diagnosis ) taken up running again. Because I haven't really done much running since last winter I have been taking it slowly but an issue has came back which I had...

I am currently on a limited carbs diet ( most of the time when I don't succumb to weakness ) my question is , is it ok to take those carbs in any form I see fit. So rather than spread them out via veggies/fruit/nuts throughout the day, could I eat something very carb/sugar heavy and make that...

Hi folks, wonder if someone could shed some light on this. I was a little naughty earlier and had a jam donut after my dinner, I tested before i ate and it was 6.2 which seems about usual for me now, then i tested an hour later and it was 10.1 ...the highest i have been since i was diagnosed...

Hi folks. I've been eating 9 Bars, but I am beginning to notice a fairly steep spike with them so I'm looking for an alternative. I suffer with a chronic pain condition which means until I have taken my medications in the morning and allowed them time to work I can barely move so Im looking for...

Hi, wonder if someone might be able to tell me when testing and doing the test before you eat and then 2 hours after dinner does it make a significant difference to the result if you're nibbling on something in those 2 hours. Like I had dinner today ( before eating 7.7...lowest I've ever been so...

I've just started running again, and am a recently diagnosed type 2. When I ran previously to my diagnosis, if I was running any long distance, say 5 miles ( thats long for me lol ) I would use SiS Gel, now I'm diagnosed Diabetic are there alternatives out there that anyone uses and how good...

Well was given my BG monitor today by the DN here and have just used it for the first time. I didn't have time to set it up before lunch but took a reading immediately after ( I know this is wrong ) ...anyway the reading came in at 9.3, would that be explained by the fact I had just eaten...

No other way to out this (haha), but has anyone else found the change between a normal carb high diet and changing to LCHF messes with you initially. I'm going to the loo a lot more than I would normally! I'm assuming this won't keep on like this because it might get a bit inconvenient lol. x

Newly diagnosed T2, I havent got my monitor yet but will get it this coming week, I wondered how many times a day I should use it, and won't my fingers get very sore if I keep pricking them? Thanks x

Hi folks... Not sure which thread I read it in but it was on here, and 9 bars were suggested as a breakfast bar alternative. I went shopping today and purchased a couple, but having got them home there does seem to be a fair amount of carbs in them. Am I missing something or did I dream that i...

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone might know if the pain I am experiencing in my heel ( underneath ) could be anything to do with diabetes. I used to run last year and looked after my feet well but I stopped in November and my feet became a little more neglected. I started to develop very...

I went to the doctors because i was so thirsty and was subjected to a number of blood tests, the most recent was 18.7 which I'm told is high. I was due to go see the Diabetic nurse this morning but my little girl is off school poorly so was unable to make it. I phoned to cancel, but I got a call...
