Great news! Well done!

That's exactly what I thought! There's so much bad news in the world. If even one person is encouraged by this it is more than worth my time. Looks like you've done fantastically well too. People like you help people like me. Thank you.

Thank you. Apart from posting about my delight I believe the sharing on here is what really helps. Such a great resource.

Thank you. Looks like you have done very well too!

Thanks...and ha ha about the shoes. Fortunately I kept a lot of my (nice) old clothes which I can now wear. A whole new wardrobe without the expense. I will treat myself though ;)

Yes. I heard a lot of negativity about Metformin (side effects etc) and was reluctant to take it because of that....and my distaste for having to take anything. I swallowed my pride along with the tablets and I'm glad I did. It has helped me to help myself; at least that's how I look at it. The...

I was diagnosed with T2 in August of 2015. My results then were: HbA1c - 48mmol [48+ diabetic level] Serum gamma GT level [liver function] - 70 u/l [should be less than 45] After this I managed to lose some weight but Christmas came and I fell back into eating patterns and neglected my...

Dear all I know it's not Friday but I notice I haven't posted for 3 weeks. Eek! Just been getting on with life and doing ok. In that time I've lost 2.5lbs. Could be better, could be worse but I'm doing well and have had some good results but I'll do a separate post/thread in the Forum about...

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. This week has been a bit hectic to say the least! Good news though. I've lost another 2.5lbs. I think I'm now only classed as "overweight" according to NHS BMI. Hope you're all well x

Brag away! Fantastic!

I took Naproxen for a suspected infection in my parotid gland. It cleared up quickly and I had no unpleasant side effects from the Naproxen. I should say I wasn't taking any other tablets at the time. Also, I wasn't measuring my blood glucose so I can't say what effect it had on that if you...

7.2 at 07:20. I ate something VERY carby last night. I am a silly. :(

I've put on 0.75lbs. Not much I know but I've been struggling this week. I ate something I really shouldn't have last night and I'm paying for it in elevated blood sugar (not silly high at 7.2 but higher than normal and/or recommended) and dreaded tiredness for no reason (other than the carbs)...

You'll get to where you want to be, I'm sure of it :)

Don't mean to hijack the thread but some of @Bluetit1802 and @Kristin251 advice and comments have helped to answer a question I had about morning rises and fasting. I had a BG of 6.8 this am (not bad but am usually 6.3) so I thought I'd just have a coffee and skip breakfast to see if it would...

6.7 at 7.35

Down another 2.5lbs. That's 15lbs gone in the last 6 weeks. I should tell y'all my stats really. Height: 5'3" High Weight: 13st 5.5lbs (obese acc to NHS BMI) Starting (LCHF) weight: 13st 3.5lbs Current weight: 12st 2.5lbs Only 1.5lbs before I am no longer classed as "obese" but merely...

6.1 at 7:20 this morning. I'm quite pleased by that. It's usually around 6.3 but the other day it was up to 7. I've kind of taken my foot off the gas during the last week (not ridiculously but I've certainly had things I shouldn't have.). My weight is still coming down though so I reckon I'm...

Down 2.5 lbs from last week....infuriatingly close to a stone in total (1.25 lbs away) but it has been achieved in 5 weeks. Still 2.5 stones to go *brushes that fact under the carpet* :)

7.3 at (coincidentally) 7:30..... ..this isn't great BUT....I ate a cookie yesterday *gasp* Not a UK biscuit but a big American choc chip cookie. It was kind of an experiment...well, not really. I wanted it and thought now I have got a good control over my cravings and much better control over...
