That’s good news. I’ve tried low carb diets but doesn’t agree with me. The fasting does help. I’m not eating for 24hours from 7pm to 7pm and not feeling hungry. Think that’s the Semiglutide. Whatever works! Good luck

My last HBA1C reading was 61 (late last year) and I was taking Metformin and it was making no difference. Last year I signed up to a diabetes trial over a 6-month period. Turned up I was part of the placebo group and no change to HBA1C. At the end of the trial the professor running it said I...

I have type 2 with a HBA1c of 63. I have been on Dapagliflozin for a few months, and more recently the GP put me on Semaglutide alongside the Dapagliflozin. I started the Semaglutide at 2mg, then 4mg and I’m now on the maximum dose of 14mg, which started this week. The Brand I am using...

Apparently it means it’s normal for me...........

That’s a scary thought

I’ve had a bad lockdown and Christmas. Need to buck my ideas up

I can only imagine they’ve been looked at by the doctor and noted accordingly, and the admin is reading that. Can’t be any other reason. I wonder when they were going to tell me I needed to have a retest of liver and ferritin in a months time

Thanks. Will do.

I had some bloods done a week or so ago and phoned the doctors for the results earlier. Was dealt with by one of the admin staff. Said liver and ferritin to be re-tested in a month, hba1c was in normal quotient and everything else was normal. I thanked her and hung up. Realised I didn’t ask...

Other low carb meals - bacon and eggs!

Thanks

What’s the calorie / carbs in that? Thanks

Hi I’ve found a Thai green curry chicken stir fry in Lidl. It’s really nice, low carb and low calorie. Takes 12 minutes to cook

Tried it several times over the years with the same outcome. Maybe I’m being too strict as I was recently still limiting to 20 grams of net carbs

Thanks Lindsay. I’m hoping to emulate your success.

Thanks

Yes that’s right. It’s an 8 week programme with the intermittent fasting being a constant and the 800 cals for the first 2 weeks after which you keep the intermittent fasting but switch to a 5:2 approach on the 800 cals

The 3 days fast appears to have other health benefits from what I’ve read which what made me try it. I’ve flirted with low carb diets for years - Atkins mainly - but it’s not sustainable to me as it causes unwanted side effects. The 800 cals a day (for the first 2 weeks only on the fast 800)...

Hi. I’m around 14 and a half stone and 5 foot 9. I could lose some. I thought the fast 800 was about the intermittent fasting you mentioned?
