Hi... I haven't read every reply but I would imagine you have had some mentioning about "carb flu" it is a very real thing. Some people feel nothing as they come off carbs others get headaches, vomit, feel so tired like they have flu, ache all over and even get cold like symptoms. Everyone is...

4.6 (3rd time now, my lowest am number)

I went to the doctors yesterday and I am very happy. Here's my story. In march I was told I needed to have another blood test in a month because my HBA1C was 48 and boarder line diabetic. In April my test came back at a HBA1C of 55 and cholesterol of 5.2 weight of 21st 12lbs and BP...

Awesome!

Mines been high over the last few days. Since going low carb 12 weeks ago I have got my levels down to high 5's low 6's pretty much any time of day. Including morning's. For a few days it's been 6.7 and over in the morning and today's was 7.5 :( I haven't had a 7 in ages. Not changed what I have...

It's not easy... I'm 12 weeks in now, I have the occasional craving. I keep most of my cravings under control by having sweet tasting things that are low carb. Sweet things have always been my downfall. I make a low carb cheesecake once a week and much it over a few days, I have a few of the...

I know when going low carb you can get what's known as carb flu, you can feel like rubbish for a few weeks... Maybe that was what you were feeling before? Also if your glucose leaves drop quickly you can get "false hypo's" where you feel hypoglycaemic but your readings are not. It just your body...

6.8 (my highest for a long time, not sure why it's gone up. I'll see how the day goes)

That's not good for your weight then, and weight will have an impact on the insulin resistance part of the diabetes in most people. Defiantly give low carb and gluten free a go if you haven't in the past. It might be just what your body needs. "If you always do what you have always done, you'll...

Your weight issue maybe one caused by your thyroid issues rather than your diabetes. My best friend had her thyroid removed last year and is struggling to lose weight. She is a member of a thyroid group and was told that it's amazing she has lost any weight at all because many people with...

Hi, it does seem odd to not have any information given to you at all. My doctors tests the blood every 3 months, and many others I have read about on here also, so I figured 3 monthly tests were the norm, not 6 monthly ones... But I guess that could be dependent on the doctors or area. If your...

Hi, as others have said getting a meter and testing will help so much. I was diagnosed in April, came on this site not really understanding very much, over the first few weeks I ready so much, I was on here, searching the wed or reading books pretty much all of my spare time. From it all the...

How many carbs is different for everyone. I was told low GI and low sugar when I became diabetic. When I got my glucose meter I found out that even a small amount of low GI rice sent me hyperglicemic, That's when I decided to cut down dramatically. I eat no carb based foods white or brown...

Well done, that's amazing. Whatever your doing, keep it up.

There are some great alternatives out there. I too don't go much on the cauliflower rice, but I did like the cauliflower pizza base. Very tasty. Add in extra flavor so to suit you. I like chilli and garlic so I put in a tea spoon of chilli flakes and some garlic, gives it an extra kick. I have...
