Just started on bisoprolol a beta blocker for high BP. Noticed my BG is running lower than I'd expect today. Anyone have experience of this drug and its effects on BG please?

Can across this review paper of LC/KD. It's the first I've read that seems to explore the metabolic and physiological effects of such a diet. I'm rooting with moving from a moderate carb intake to low 50g down to 20g but as a T1D dear DKA this paper supports the theory that DKA is not result of...

Over the past year I've increased my intake from 300,mg of ala to 600mg of r-ala a day, all in one morning dose. My sense is it's working well on my neuropathy but I realise this is an increase in the active ingredient of four times. Just wondered how much others find to be effective and if...

Happened to be talking to my electric supplier EON yesterday who wanted to update my records. Cut a long story short turns out because I store insulin in fridge I'm a priority customer which means they'll let me know asap if supply problems and arrange alternative cold storage if appropriate...

Last night I was injecting levemir into my thigh using a brand new BD 4mm needle when it got stuck in my skin. Twisting it didn't help and tugging just raised a cone of skin. Eventually I just yanked really hard and it came free fortunately with the needle still attached, phew! Never had this...

picking up from another thread, any recommendations for low carb high cocoa content Easter eggs please?

Wonder if anyone has put together a regime that is both low carb and antiinflammatory please? I have eczema problems and find lots of dairy and meat cause this to flare up. Most antiinflammatory did I've come across seem to major on brown rice and whole grains

My fridge accidently got turned to high and I'm worried about my stored insulin. Just switched novorapid pens and it seems after first use to have been less effective than usual. Just wondering from experience what temperature does damage please? If damaged does it still work but to a lesser...

I don't always have the time and energy to cook from scratch. I noticed today M&S have started to sell a cauliflower mash which I tried and it was quite good wondered if there are any other favourite LC ready made dishes out there please?

Don't know how informative it will be but January 2nd food unwrapped will apparently feature Dr Unwin a GP promoting lchf. I've seen him speak at a conference and he was very good, has got his whole practice following the approach. May be worth a watch?

I'm thinking of my first holiday since diagnosis a year ago probably stick to UK. Wondered if there are any pitfalls or likely problems now I've got a 3 year license please? License is otherwise clean and no accidents on record after 40 years driving.

I've been using nature's best ala 300mg at 600mg per day and feel subjectively it helps my neuropathy. About to reorder and wondered if anyone has particular recommendations for either ala or r-ala suppliers please?

I've noticed subjectively that my retinopathy affected vision and neuropathy poison send to have improved over past few weeks. This coincides with much improved BG levels since testing and adjusting basal with help of a libre. Is this likely to be real improvement or just my wishful thinking...

Someone kindly posted this link on freestyle libre users fb group thought it may be of interest. Found the explanation of AGP graph really useful. http://www.edinburghdiabetes.com/libre

I've noticed with the onset of colder weather that my BG readings seem low when my hands are very cold. So experimented today and got a reading of 4.1 with cold hands, warmed them up in water then got 5.9. Happen to be trialing a Libre which showed 6.6 throughout so to me this shows that the...

I realise it's s silly question but is it OK to change the clock on a libre tonight while a sensor is active? Don't want sensor to think I'm trying to con it into extended life?
