I found this brilliant forum after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis in December 2017. The forum members helped and guided me back to good health in a short space of time. Forever grateful. So i recently decided to make this video sharing exactly how I put my type 2 into reverse and also lost over...

I will be forever grateful to all the forum members on here who guided me back to good health. Too many to mention and I don't want to leave anyone out so will just say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone. You know who you are. You do such an amazing job of helping and supporting.....and so much...

I am so exited to share this. For anyone that enjoys bread this might interest you. Today my low carb bread arrived from Amazon, not cheap at £5 a loaf (no i haven't won the lottery haha) or 35p a slice, which sounds much better. I bought from Amazon...

Its world diabetes day on 14th November. It seems a good day to highlight to the powers that be that: 1) current t2d guidelines are wrong 2) we need to be offered blood glucose monitors (what is measured can be managed) It seems the majority of us coming to this site (and many others) are...

Recently i've produced a leaflet for t2 diabetics who would like to try the lchf woe to help control bs, or for anyone who would like to just lose a few lbs. No requirement to be diabetic! In conjunction with my GP surgery who have been amazing I must say. It's almost finished and ready for me...

Spotted this whilst putting together a leaflet on LC woe for my GP surgery (hoping they will use it!). Saw a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure it was only 300+ then. Now 600+ already. I think it's a great idea for us to share our journeys to help others. I know that when I was first diagnosed...

Just had my blood results through from Thriva. All good apart from ferritin level which is elevated and stands at 305@!!! Anyone any ideas what I can do to bring it down to under 150 which apparent. Thanks

I have a new addition to my body. A libre sensor. And I'm loving it. I absolutely love the fact I can scan whenever I like. I'm currently scanning every 15 mins following my cabbage Bolognese, glass of red and a few mixed nuts, just to see how my body deals. Back to 5.3 without much of a rise...

It seems that a few forum members have joined our local PPGs and/or diabetic groups and thought it would be a good idea to create a thread to post the feed back into as a point of reference and also for information for anyone that might be interested. I joined my local diabetic group in...

I recently had my 3rd diabetic review. I must admit i was feeling apprehensive. I was diagnosed last December with a HbA1c of 62. That went down to 47 (pre diabetic level) in Feb following a LCHF diet and in May it was down to 41 (non diabetic level). 6 months into my new way of eating I had...

Firstly i would like to start with a massive thank you for all the support given to me by so many, too numerous to mention all but you know who you are, since my diagnosis on 8th December last year. I can never thank you enough for all the help given, the time you give up to help when you have...

As forum members now have a few articles under our belts we thought it might be a good idea for them to be linked to a specific thread on the forum for all to see, and also share where possible. I'm going to kick this thread off. I'm so very happy to do so. Many from this forum want to help...

Im stunned, shocked, saddened, gutted in fact. I've just recently joined the PPG at my surgery. In reply to my first email welcoming me I asked for stats (after saying thank you of course). Here is my email: I'm wondering if you can help with some information i need for an up and coming...

Well...what a great event in Birmingham it has been. Building foundations. First of many events, fingers crossed. Massive thanks to Diabetes.co.uk and their PR team for the help and support given to us all. A happy bunch of diabetics getting together to try and help others, travelling from...

I'm just finishing the Inspirational Stories booklet for the Birmingham event on 1st September. It's looking great. Still some editing to be done so not quite there yet. On the last page I thought about adding some quotes which may have inspired us along our journeys. I think this would be a...

EVENT UPDATE – SATURDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER - BIRMINGHAM It's all coming along very nicely. Which is just as well as it's only just over 2 weeks away! It's very exciting. We have the venue booked (menu still to be confirmed) Hotel rooms booked for the Friday night for those arriving the day...

This week I made appointments to speak to my GP and my DN to see if and how I can help in the local community in any way. GP appointment was to request a cholesterol test primarily as it had gone up in May to 6.8 from 5.2 in December. (My home test kit says it's now 4.25 but I just wanted the...
