Hi @AmandaMcL welcome to the forum. I am not quite the description you are looking for, I am type 2 recently diagnosed but I have followed LCHF and my blood results have improved to the point that I am now high normal. I feel better, lost 2 stone in weight, food so much more enjoyable and am in...

..... I am relaxed sitting at home wondering what fate beholds of my diagnosis, browsing, learning and sympathising with all on this forum. My hubby, whilst so supportive but not diabetic and oblivious of what I am looking at and typing. I would be be truly lost without this forum, its been my...

You have achieved a fantastic result. Keep doing whatever you are doing and very well done.:p:):p:)

Nivea, face, body and hands works best for me.

Oh @donnellydogs I really feel for you. You have a lot to deal with. However your simple words are what I have always believed in "quality of life" and "laugh again" I do understand. When you have been in the pits these are the most meaningful words I too have quoted in the past. Stay strong...

Thanks to everyone, @les74 yes I test, test and just for good measures test again. My GP said even type 1's don't test as much and it wasn't necessary for me to test so often. My answer to this was how do I know what effects my bloods if I don't and he had to agree. Bread is absolute poison for...

You really do need a second opinion, my sister got gangrene from a cut on her finger when she was 2 years old and the consultant wanted to remove her whole hand there and then. My dad sought a second opinion and found a surgeon who agreed to only remove some of her finger which did carry a risk...

Blimey @walnut_face your results are amazing and thank you.

Got my latest hb1ca today. 41, just below pre diabetes. I am soooooooo grateful for everyone here on this forum. I have managed to bring my bg down by monitoring, low carbing, walking and above all, this forum and all the interesting post you create. I just didnt know where to start when I was...

hba1c 41 February 2017

Me too, my doctor told me to eat plenty of oats to reduce my cholesterol along with plenty of baked potatoes, only then to find my BG shot up. Not her fault but all my blood tests had not come back. Then the dreaded hb1ca showed I was diabetic.....Bad advice from Dr, probably not as the full...

Thanks ickihun for your advice, I see something on the forum that works for someone like fasting and I try it, then move straight onto something else, Holland & Barrett's profits must up because I've got one of every type of supplement to improve your BG. I think I need to analyse more of my...

I am confused and frustrated by my (DP). I am due a HBA1c test in two weeks time and I know my morning readings are going to spoil my hard work at keeping my BG down throughout the day. I have tested, tested, tested, low carbbed, fasted and stood on my head since diagnosis last august. My...

Hi loppy, I am so sorry that you have had a really bad run with your health. I too had complications which resulted in a hysterectomy at 37, and now this blinkin diabetes. Your words are strong and encouraging for others, stay bright, hope the worst is over and I wish you well.

Hi starburst02, I am not type 3 but trying to control my type2 to without meds, someone here will surely help you with type 3 as they have helped me. Welcome to the family, though I am sure it is a family you wouldn't choose to be part of. Diabetest is what it is and I would be lost without...

I have just re-read your post and wow, what a journey you have made. Omg, what an amazing life change, weight loss, attitude to health you have achieved. Inspiration, comes to mind!!! I committed 100% in trying to control this diabetic affliction without meds, lost 2.5 stone with a stone to go...

Well done, I too will have a little treat at Christmas, I think I will grunt horribly when I taste my first roast potato in months, and I won't care if I upset anyone else around the table because I have earned it ..... gone without , eliminated carbs ... all potatoes for months and have my BP...

Aside of any possible upset in this thread, I have found it really interesting to learn that metformin works more on the liver. I have low carbed and fasted, following bulkbiker with my own diabetes. (How do you insert @ bulkbiker ?) Anyway, low carb has improved my BG readings and after fasting...

That's great news that you've kicked diabetes in the face. I don't know about convincing. Good luck with your health, and continue with your progress.

Hi elwelia, just checked out your link. Wow, some fab looking recipes on your link I am going to try. Robbo2452, I am managing lunch on the hoof by eating low carb left overs from the night before, it took a while to get used to ditching the butties from local deli but, it's cost effective and...
