    Diabetes 1st anniversary

    Hi, today is my 1st year anniversary of my diabetic diagnosis. I am a different person than I was a year ago. I am over 5 stone lighter, blood sugar is 4.7 with no medication and I feel so much better with LCHF. Thank you to all of you for your incredible advice and support.

    The code free tester arrived

    Hi, The code free arrived today. I put it on the table and ignored it for about 3 hours. I then got it out of the packaging and sat giving it dirty looks for about 20 mins, then read the book. I have to say I was a bit scared of doing the first test, not only because I was worried about the...

    Diagnosed type 2 two weeks ago
