how is it going Stuart7152 ?

hi Bill_Dundee I was diagnosed in August 2016 and the difference from then and now is incredible. I have steadily lost weight from 93kg to 82kg, and my last blood test was brilliant. I have only followed info from this site and my own common sense, i came to the conclusion that a low carb...

I was diagnosed T2 in August and diabetic nurse put me down for a desmond course, i still havent heard anything ... a friend has already been and said it wasnt very good, so i wasnt that bothered - this forum has been so marvellous ! why isnt there an online webinar ? why no modern methods as...

Welcome indeed and hope you can help spread the word about low carbing. I stick to 50g to 80g Carbs most days, and yet I am full of energy and am not hungry 17/08/2016 Ha1c 12.80% HbA1c 116 mmol Plasma Glucose 15.7 mmol Cholesterol 7.36 Weight 93kg 29/11/2016 Ha1c 5.90% HbA1c 41 mmol...

well done, its a huge achievement - you took control

I was diagnosed T2 in August 2016, I bought a fitbit and set myself to 12,000 steps per day or 8.5km per day. Most days i manage it, and the difference in my circulation is incredible, as there is a rush of warmth to my feet when i get to that magic 60 minutes of exercise. Now its dismal and...

well done Ann, I too am on top of the world after my first follow up test, determined to keep it low now that I understand how to !!

thanks for your kind comments, I wanted to give back some of the help I have received here. I truly don't think I could have got there without all the common sense on the forum and all of you

Stuart, your weight loss has been impressive, so you are doing something right. Your chart summary confused me as it seems to say 161.25g carbs is that per day ? I am full of energy but have been on 50g of carbs per day for over 3 months. Some days the protein intake is higher than fats, other...

I was diagnosed T2 in August, luckily my GP recommended this site, and I started the lchf diet within days because it just felt right to treat all carbs as sugar-in-waiting ! Its been 15 weeks, and I just got my 2nd test results which made me incredulous, I put the table at the bottom. I have...

Terry, I read your post shortly after discussing the huge gap between what I have learnt here, and what I am told everywhere else ! I so agree with you, but look at the tools we now have at our own personal disposal. My GP kindly told me to look at this forum for support and direct experience...

I can't be bothered with diet books etc, but I have found it really easy to follow a low carb diet - I just don't eat bread, pasta, rice at all ! Instead, I use extra large portions of veggies to fill myself up, cook same meat meals as before, so chicken curry still gets done, but while hubby...

hope u have a lovly cruise Jillytee, I love my fitbit, the info it sends to my phone and PC is very motivating and supportive rather than making me feel guilty, and its a bit ridiculous how much it perks me up when i get stars and badge prizes, but it works for me !! I didnt realise initially...

Viv, well done that man ! you did it your way, and it is so encouraging to know it can be done by your own investigation. Jillytee I too am trying to do it my own way of exploring the LCHF diet without using fixed recipes or foodplans, I read somewhere on the forum that a low carb diet is...

hi Anna, I am only 6 weeks into being T2, and immediately chose the LCHF diet. I have found the info on here and support from everyone so much more helpful than the nurse or leaflets, so you are in the right place ! I need to lose weight so with the help of my fitbit I get a daily analysis of...

it doesn't sound safe bookcook, but it's your body ! in the last few weeks of eating low carbs i am noticing my appetite has been diminishing, your proposal would not help that process happen, also I would suspect side effects like constipation would be an issue. Extra exercise of any kind is a...

blimey Lindasar, your surgery sounds like a tough place to visit ! My GP has been seeing me every week since the diagnosis, and he has also referred me to the Nurse to have other blood tests and referral to hospital for something called a Desmond course to tell you all about the illness (quite a...

I've been quiet as i have been away - 2 nights visiting friends, then a conference in a hotel. I am pleased with myself because I stuck to the diet really well, and i also walked a lot having just bought a fitbit. in the last 7 days have walked 42 km (26 miles) which sounds unbelievable !!!! i'm...

Over the last few days I have been having increasing difficulty getting the 500mg Bolamyn Metformin SR tablets to go all the way down. I keep feeling its stuck at the bottom of my throat, as I type I keep sipping or gulping water to try and get it shifted. Anyone got any tips ? I've tried hot...
