    Trendy ketones supplement

    Interesting link thanks. That definitely sounds like what she's taking. No proper research of the risks though which is scary. She was saying boxers drink it. Anything with keto in the title seems to be taking off at the moment. Probably because it works! I never heard of it before my diagnosis...

    Trendy ketones supplement

    But they have "celebrities" endorsing it so it must be true! Will admit part of me wanted to believe the hype even though I knew it was rubbish. Perils of being trapped in a plastic apron staring at yourself in a mirror for an hour

She basically then described a keto lifestyle of no more than 20g carbs a day with this stuff added in "to speed everything up" Having been a bit...

    Wondering about coming off metformin

    Hi At what point, if any, did folk consider coming off metformin? I am hoping to be well into "normal" range at my next testing but wondered how much of that could be said to be the metformin. I am on 500mg slow release twice a day. I dont mind staying on it as I have no side effects, but see...

    Went to the NHS eatwell thingy

    I ended up speaking with keto lady outside and she asked to keep in touch as she said she felt she was lost, nobody agreeing with her. She was made up I was there, so am glad I went in the end if just for that. Sounded like she had tried to research and just done it on her own. I gave her this...

    Went to the NHS eatwell thingy

    Hi After being told i didnt really need to go by the practice nurse i decided to go to see what all the fuss was about and spread the lchf gospel. Room full of people a nurse and nutritionist. The 2 most successful were me and a lady doing keto. We politely told them we were restricting...

    Locum diabetic nurse was fab! But struggling with festive season

    Hi So my original nurse has gone off on long term sick now and I was dying to go in and brag about my 3 month improvement. Ended up seeing a nurse who was covering but also seemed way more clued up. She asked me right out was I doing lchf and said it was the best thing for me, went into way...
