Hey guys, I've not been posting for what seems like an eternity but to be honest there have been so many things going on...this has taken a back burner. I guess I have been a bit "slack" in the sense, I hardly test anymore...I just find it sparks me into a tailspin if it is above a certain...

I'm sure it's hormones...don't worry male species reading this, I'm not going into anymore detail lol. I am just so DONE with the partner constantly...I mean CONSTANTLY eating. I have been feeling pretty wound up about various things..big things happening and all that and now with Xmas fast...

Well, I know...I've been quiet really...just not posting much but still battling with the LCHF and the like. Well anyway...as much as it was setting my anxiety off I booked in to get my HbA1c done...results in today....I thought maybe I would be ok with 48 or something...got told "they're...

It took all my power as regardless of how "on it" he is..he does have one of those voices that kinda make you wanna sleep. That aside though, watch a video of him saying about what the normal BG is...and feel throughly depressed now! He is saying in the US it is 83 which, using the divide by 18...

Hey, well I know apples (fruit in general) are not exactly diabetic friendly but according to this article I have just been e-mailed we should be eating them! Any thoughts from those who are really into their research and up on their knowledge? https://authoritynutrition.com/apples-and-diabetes/

SO as we know I am doing the LCHF and doing alright, sugars can be a bit high but still always under 7 and more often than not in the 5's which is OK with me as I know I am still not doing this right! ANYWAY! I digress. I have not had cravings since I started this...surprised really as I was...

Hey...I just tested my sugars and am feeling quite upset now. I've been sitting well in the mid 5's for a good few days now but though I've not changed anything tonight it was 6.8 and I'm gutted. It's a good 4 hours after eating and that was innocent salad and chicken. I've not been feeling...

Hey guys, just little me again with a little question....I tested my sugars tonight before eating then an hour and half later than another half hour after that just to see...in that time, the first post meal was only 0.1mmol/l higher than pre....the second it had actually gone down! I'm a bit...

I'm just back from walking the pooch...I had tested my sugars before going as was feeling a bit weird but they were fine @ 6.1. Anyway walked said pooch and was just interested to see what the readings were...7.1! I was googling madly to see whether exercise can increase sugars...thing is most...

Hey guys, so I have received my "invite" ( I shall elaborate on the ") to the newly called diabetes management blah blah. I called them to ask whether there would be any information regarding LCHF and support for that, I didn't get a straight answer but apparently one of the DSN is going to call...

I'm only 2 weeks into watching the carbs...I've been doing ok...thing is..I'm not overly hungry any of the time and today I really haven't been. My issue is this...SO many of the recipes I have found involve egg and cheese and to be honest I am a bit done with them both at the moment..the...

Now...my fasting BS was 15.4 (though I was told 15.9..maybe the Dr needs HIS eyes screening). I've not been able to test much as I didn't have my meter but it came today and I was curious where I was at...bit disappointed really as I had not eaten all day then had a late lunch of chicken, bacon...

So it has occured me I could be doing something REALLY wrong!! I have only realised that apples are not the greatest and I love apples...but anyway...I've been drinking fruit teas as opposed to anything other than water cause my normal brew is just too much for me to bear without sugar....the...

So..this message comes straight from having been to see the "diabetic" nurse...what a total and utter farce! She read off a transcribe that was, of course, old school NHS rubbish and whilst she said it was refreshing to meet someone who had done the research etc etc still the appointment went...

After a bit of a emotional rollercoaster day yesterday...last night I was SUPER chuffed because I did a reading about 2 hours after dinner.....7.2!!! I know this is still a little above but it's also over half of my fasting blood glucose reading..so I felt a bit good. Anyway...no I am not...

So.....I've managed to do SOME reading...those who have seen my previous angry, scared posts will get what I am saying! Anyway as ever, I digress......I am really struggling to get my head round the low carb thing, have looked at the diet dr site and quite frankly it seems TOO far away from what...

So....I have posted elsewhere but just thought I would try and ask.....I was told over the phone that I have diabetes after my fasting glucose was really raised and the more I read the more panicked I am becoming really! All I was told was to "watch my sugar intake and drink lots" until I am...

Hi, I literally found out less than 24hrs ago that I have suspected diabetes...well they say very probable considering my fasting glucose was stupidily high. I also suffer from depression, anxiety and a bit of PTSD....and to make it even worse..I'm a freaking nurse! SO....basically...I've not...
