lol @Indy51 yes do let us know!

@SlimLizzy not sure we have the preventing course is available here but it is a great idea to fight it from that end, rather than wait for people to be diagnosed! They are slowly catching up which is great. Yes I continue the fight forever :)

Thanks @Guzzler thats great, it is how I see things, but medical profession havent given that hope to us - i guess they arent ready yet!

Thanks @DCUKMod I guess we just keep going!

thanks Richard that makes sense. I have lost about 7" from my waist but still need to get rid of another inch or 2, which seems rather stubborn! I will have to look at I.F., but I tend to feel dizzy if I dont eat, so I have been putting it off so far

thanks Rachox, yes thats a good way to see it, this is all a relatively new way of dealing with T2. That helps me see it more clearly thanks and well done on your numbers!

Our local GP has recently added a diabetic dietician service, which is great news and a good step forward. I saw her about 3 weeks ago and she wanted to know how I had got my hba1c down from 93 to 31 - 33, which she said was "fantastic". When I told her low carb I could see a veil coming down...

Hi, I cant find an answer to this question so hope you can help - my Hba1c started at 93 almost 2 years ago, but I followed a low carb diet from day 1, so it went down quickly to 31-35 and stays around that level. I keep hearing diabetes is "progressive", but if I stay in remission, eating low...

thanks for that - Im having aubergine, courgette, red and green pepper and carrots (for hubby I just have 1 bit of carrot). I sometimes add asparagus for the last 15 mins but i dont have any today. with that we are having high meat content sausage - i cant wait!

thanks Rab, well ive had nothing since breakfast today and not eating till about 730 tonight (roast veg) so I will see if that counts - maybe not! I will for sure try this as I need to kick start my weight loss again thanks

lol that is a very good question to which I have no good answer! I guess the word "fasting" reminds me of diets I would go in in my youth where I would be starving for days - I just havent looked into IF so I need to understand it - it is on my radar now thanks for asking which has given me a push!

hi, I am keeping IF as a last resort - if I dont eat something within a certain time frame it makes me really dizzy/sick. However I havent looked at the full info online so will do that thank you

any weight off is great - keep at it! I was reading recently that too much protein can also store as sugar if you eat too much? My protein consumption is probably very high as my go-to's when I am stuck for a meal or snack are olives, cheese, eggs etc. So, I am trying to re-think my diet now -...

thanks for that and good luck!

thanks for that! I agree, and I cant imagine a time when I wont be careful now. I just hope I caught it early enough that I can avoid complications

thanks for that, most of my weight loss was within, say, 10 months. I keep trying but cannot lose another ounce! Have been the same for about 4 months now, no matter how hard I try!

thanks for that Guzzler, I wont be returning to my old habits - I enjoy feeling so very much better. Im finding my way round the site, and it seems great, full of friendly people and great info!

oh right that makes sense! Thanks very much for your kind comments

hello! Im not sure if this can be answered, but here goes! I was diagnosed 16 months ago, and have followed a moderate LCHF diet since then (30-70gm carb per day). My 3 monthly results have shown a steady decrease - I cant remember my initial one, but after 3 months my results were 47, then 43...
