Hi all, does anyone follow a plant based approach? Looking for any anecdotes. Specifically about increased numbers from higher carbs over time. Many thanks.

I was diagnosed as LADA (1.5) two years ago after 4 years of misdiagnosed T2. I went Keto and still tend to stick to low carb and like to make lots of LC puddings to ease the restrictions. Hello LC rhubarb crumble! Just lately I’ve been introducing more carbs (potatoes) and upping my insulin -...

So I’m on 10 units insulin and 2000 metformin as a newly diagnosed 1.5. Was previously diagnosed as T2 three years ago. I have been keto for ages and when I was given the insulin I decided to do some infrequent testing of what I can maybe eat again. Long story short we had fish and chips tonight...

Has anyone else experienced this anomaly? It’s happened twice now. Works perfectly in my left arm, but I get mega-low readings in my right arm. So confused.

Will it ever go away? I’m a diet only, well-controlled, 3 years diagnosed T2. I don’t eat late, have a keto diet, and although exercise is somewhat lacking recently with lockdown, I’m not overweight, and my morning waking numbers are STILL in the high 6s fasting. They drop back to between 4-5...

Please share your homemade ice cream recipes here. I’m keen to try this beloved dessert, keto-style.

Can we share any lovely Christmas foods here? Let’s support each other to not fall off the LCHF wagon. [emoji1392] Obviously, a staple has to be pigs in blankets! What else do people tuck into?

Libre said 5.4 and blood test said 6.2. Pretty shocked and a little gutted. Any ideas why this might be? Thank you, all.

Hello, I am T2 for 18 months now and always managed with LCHF to stay in 4-7 range. No meds. I went cycling for an hour today and have had readings of 8+ fasting. Is this something that happens? Really struggling to get this spike down. Thank you.

Can anyone guide me as to how to do this, if it’s even possible? Many thanks, all. Have a good day. [emoji5]

Hi all, I was diagnosed T2 a year ago. I went immediately onto LCHF and my numbers dropped to non diabetic levels within a couple of months. I joined the gym (and actually went!) taking classes 3 times a week. I was flying and feeling fabulous. Then I wasn’t. About three months ago I just...

How may points do your meter readings jump after dinner? Is 2 or 3 ok? What’s the maximum it can rise each time before you’re getting into troubled areas such as retinopathy, etc?
