Thanks guys. I didn’t fast and I had lost a lot of weight. Next bloods in feb so will bear in mind. Thanks

Hello, Getting my HbA1c down nicely and my weight too with LCHF. However in the last three months my trigs have gone from 0.95 to 1.8. Overall still 4.4 HDL 1.33 LDL 2.25 All largely unchanged. Was just wondering if there may be something causing that trig rise. Any help is much appreciated.

Try almonds. High fat and lower protein and carbs. Tons of fibre. There are studies that suggest 28g of almonds (small handful) after a meal will help reduce blood sugar. Give it a try.

I take both with full fat milk but no sugar. Perhaps try some 70% or higher chocolate with a brew. It works. Lindt high cocoa (70 and above) is high fat and low carb/sugar. You only need a couple of squares at a time. I have 90%, two squares with a brew once a day. Does the trick.

Thanks everyone

Hey everyone, I’ve not posted for a while but I have been lurking. Got my HBA1C today after wrestling it out of the receptionist. April 2018 - 85 (Diagnosed) August 2018 - 41 November 2018 - 36!!!! I’m down again and my total weight loss to date is 3 stone 10 pounds or 52 pounds if that’s...

Well done. Awesome results. Keep up the good work!

Never watched it. But I used to get up early to watch Prisoner Cell Block H with my mum in the 90’s! I’ll go sign for 8 year old me!

Can’t really fault the diet. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with your other conditions but as has been suggested, possibly they are affecting BG levels? I hope you get to the bottom of it.

Hello. Well done for taking charge and trying to make a difference. Can I ask what kind of things you are eating?

Hello. I’m sure there will be some others along with advice before long and @daisy will post some welcome info. I have had some success since diagnosis and my diet has changed to Low Carb High Fat. However, I do not restrict myself when I go out for a meal or a family celebration. I try to...

Hi. Before I settle on adding something to my diet I generally test every hour to see how the land lies. The meal in question never goes above 2 mmol. However, you’re definitely right because I have experienced what you describe, I just never knew the cause. Thanks.

Try it with almonds! Its amazing! Two almonds and a little nibble off a square. I'm hungry now!

I have had some success since diagnosis and my diet has changed to LCHF. However, I do not restrict myself when I go out for a meal or a family celebration. I try to make better choices, such as a mixed grill, but I will have the chips. Once a month or so I will have a kebab or pizza when the...

I think the real issue here is the media making blanket statements that the general population will just assume to be true because, you know, Science! It has been shown here in a very short amount of time that the people in the know can quickly debate this article and pick holes in it if there...

Hello, Just come across this article. https://news.sky.com/story/keto-diets-could-increase-diabetes-risk-11465771 As per usual with this kind of thing it all seems a bit fishy and is based on mice. It does say that diabetics have been shown to benefit from Keto but in doing so contradicts...

Thanks for all the support guys. I am happy with the results. Just feel like certain NHS staff would be happy if we were all ‘chronically progressing’. Then they could feel smug and not undermined.

I didn’t know that about the trigs ratio. I’m going to do some reading today. Thanks for you help.

Hey guys, I had my first follow up with the DN yesterday. I got my first HbA1c done since diagnosis and have previously posted about a great result; 85 to 41 in three months and lost just shy of 3 stone. All LCHF and exercise. I got my results over the phone as DN was on holiday and so this is...
