I've been low carb and in remission for a while. This morning my nurse suggested marking my diabetes as reversed, stopping all future diabetic reviews. I asked her to keep me on reviews and eye checks, etc. as I know my numbers went up a little during lockdown when I was only was increasing my...

My (other) consultant is thinking about trying Fludrocortisone to control my reflex syncope as there is a risk of fainting and injuring myself if it can't be controlled better - at the moment I don't stand for more than a few minutes and can't bend over for more than a few seconds so there is a...

I am in remission, and still successfully on low carb after 15 months. But I’ve been spending time with the diabetic wife of a friend - he died very suddenly and she is struggling to cope. The main reasons she can’t live alone are all down to her uncontrolled diabetes - severely sight impaired...

I had my one year tests this week and have just seen the results after missing a call from the surgery yesterday. I'm assuming it will be the Statins discussion again, which I refused last time and at 3 months into low carb the figures had improved so it was dropped. I've been low carb for just...

Just got my results today: HbA1C is 38 down from 51 Triglycerides 1.41 down from 1.97 Plus I've lost nearly 2.5 st since late May. My DN is going to check out the lowcarbprogram, after not taking much notice when I first saw her.

I had a mild scare a few years ago, when my blood sugar crept up a little after years of being fine and I was warned I might be pre-diabetic. But I managed to cut down on carbs and lost a stone and it settled down. Last week my annual blood test results call back and instead of the expected 'all...
