Over the weekend I went to retreat. They did their best foodie wise for low carb. I’ve thing i found was I are more at meals as I didn’t have access to anything if I got hungry or whatever.

Hi I’m still thinking of getting an I watch. The SE as the only real difference with a 7 is the blood oxygen thing. Just wanted some opinions please on whether ids best to just buy the watch upfront without cellular so I’ll need phone with me. Or to buy through phone shop and pay air time...

In this stupidly hot heat I am finding I am completely wiped out. So much so I was struggling at 7.30 am this morning. My arms were heavy as lead and felt tired. I don’t think my sugars go high in the heat. But I ended up having sweets because I just couldn’t function. Not good but I had to...

When people indulge and then go really strict again and get withdrawals do you find that you can seriously very very bad mood swings? Last week I was just angry this week I’m just bursting into tears constantly. It is coming up to my 3 year anniversary in august so don’t know if I’m struggling...

Apologies I know this is t diabetes related. But I’ve been interested in buying a series 3 Apple Watch. Have an iPhone. I have Fitbit but think the watch would be more features. But it’s been around for awhile. Anyone have any thoughts? Is it worth getting or is it just too old now and not...

So after Xmas I went on super strict keto, less than 10g per day. went back to work after lockdown on April 12 and managed to cope really well. Didn’t need carbs in the morning for breakfast, had 4g in a fake tortilla for lunch and maybe two sausages for a snack if I needed them but quite often...

So after my second Pfizer jab my sugars were lower so had to introduce some carbs to keep them normal. Then the next week they went slightly higher so had to cut back. Then I went back home so had few extras. Fir the last two weeks I’ve been amazing food wise. Because it’s been so hot carbs...

Thank you to everyone who offered advice on my drinks situation and the adding of pink salt. It came in my shopping yesterday. Today I have drank almost 3 litres of water that had pinch of salt, slice of lemon and some cucumber. No I’ll effects and no headaches. It is a blooming miracle. Now it...

So I have to move house within the next 4 months. I was diagnosed around 10 days after moving here so normally I just move where I want as long as it fits with work. But now I’m having to consider whether it’s ok to move out of dr catchment area. My main issue is that I know being type 2 doesn’t...

Is there anything you can buy in the firm of drink that replaces electrolytes that a type 2 keto can drink? With the current heat I’m constantly thirsty and nothing is getting rid of it. I’m trying not to drink too much water (I’m on 2-3 l ) at the mo. But really feel I need more. But also...

So we’ve had a power cut. It’s been off 20 mins. Electricity company know and are in the case. But I take trulicity and it has to be kept in the fridge. I’ve googled but can’t find anything (anxiety levels have gone up so not quite processing) But how long can trulicity stay safe kept in a...

I’ve been getting a cannot read glucose reading message, try again in 10 mins since around 9 this morning. Am I right to assume it has died? Or could it spring back to life? It’s been on 10 days (including today)

So I’ve been all well controlled and managed. My diet worked perfectly for work. Still had a bigger ruse in morning and lunch up to 8 or 9 but that’s after food. Rest of time I was fabulous. Sugars drip after lunch and stay quite stable. Then I had second covid jab and it’s broken. My diet isn’t...

Has anyone noticed their appetite has increased after they’ve had covid jab? I had mine on Thursday, the second one. Yesterday I was struggling not to eat lunch at 9.30am. Had quite bad side effects from afternoon and really didn’t want my usual keto food so had burger and chips (left the bun...

So I finally got my two new libre 2. The first one fell off after 13 days and the next one after 10 mins so rang them up (took few days to get through as bank holiday weekend. Eventually got them sent. Very thankful that I received two more sensors for free. But it has to be said I’m so thankful...

Evening all So I’ve been back on my ultra low keto for a while again now mainly just eating the same foods (albeit very different to the lockdown foods). I’m usually below 10g each day. Weekends I I might go up to 40 when I have my butter chicken or fake pizza but that is it. Last Thursday I did...
