@Terrytiddy thank you for your reply! I will do just that and see how it goes. I don't think I'll get to 24 hours but was concerned if I did, that I'd only be getting one lot of medication in! I think it'd be wise for me to do 16:8 for now and possibly longer if meds (hopefully) change! And...

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before. I've been lchf for 3 weeks and am doing my first fast today. I ate at 8pm last night and I haven't had my morning meds (metformin, empagliflozin,) yet as they should be with food. What do other people do? I'm was aiming for 16:8 fast but I'm...

Thank you for replying. That is a good idea, bloods stable first. I think I take too much on, get overwhelmed and then cave in and go back to my 'normal' way if things which clearly is not working. Desperate to lose those carb cravings. I can't even imagine not having those cravings. X

Wow! Thank you so much for that information, I will read it all properly later when I have more time. I feel I've learned things already since posting my question yesterday evening! I feel I'm going to be ok with this [emoji173]

Thank you so much for that! Spreadsheet is a very good idea. I'm frightened of dropping meals, getting hungry, starting to hypo and binging almost. I can't get my head around eating 'fat' after all the years if being told not to. I've joined the lchf programme and have been reading a lot about...

Thank you! That actually makes a lot of sense. I'm kind of looking forward to it (and yet not at the same time! Haha!) I've got lots of strips luckily! My brother is type 1 so I get a lot of his cast offs. I've not asked his advice much because I think personally that the 2 types can be quite...

Thank you NewTD2, will look at that now!

Hi! Thank you for replying. Yes, I have a bg monitor but I use it very infrequently. I need to build a routine with it once I know what to do. I currently take 1 x 500mg metformin and 1 x empagliflozin (jardiance) in the morning and 2 x 500mg metformin in the evening for diabetes, plus numerous...

Thank you! I'm just used to having a plan in front if me e.g. slimming world etc. Mind you, until I got used to that, I found it overwhelming. I'm sure this will soon become my norm, x

Hi! I was diagnosed type 2 in July 2016. My hba1c was 47 . It's going up, 71 now, and whilst I'm not eating any better, I'm not eating any worse. I also have underactive thyroid and PCOS. I've just joined the low carb programme but I feel so lost. I have dieted from being 13 years old and I'm...
