Hello hello my diabetic and non-diabetic darlings, merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all :happy: My my it had been a fair few months, almost feels like a year when it’s only been since around august. First things first I’m sorry for suddenly disappearing like that and I truly do...

Something I just wanted to share with you all, especially for the young uns among us that are reeling from the news about diagnosis and so on. On the right is me around the time I got diagnosed and I learned the other day that I was 22 stone 12 lbs! 320 pounds for crying out loud! As of this...

Decided to take a look at my ALT levels this morning out of curiosity and MY WHAT A DROP. A lot of my metrics back in December were terrible and yet it was just my HBA1C that took center stage?! Let no one say that a well done LCHF/P diet doesn't reverse fatty liver or at least doesn't help it...

Surgery got in touch and confirmed that my statin script has gone up to 40mg as my bloods came back abnormal but didn't even talk about my HBA1C which was kind of funny so I chased it and they said normal, I said give me a number and that number was... 29! I wondered if I could do it and I...

So! Decided to get myself checked over yesterday just to keep a handle on my HBA1C levels but seems like they threw a lipid panel into the mix without me realising thus I had eaten a quite high fat meal before it. Breakdown as follows: Serum cholesterol level 6.4 mmol/L Serum triglyceride...

As some of you know my Dad is T2 himself and he has really been listening to me and cutting out sugar and most carbs from his life, he just had his HBA1C done just now and holy moly! From 76 down to 50! I know it's basically still pre-diabetic levels but I can't help but be happy with him after...

So... Control has been really good so far, suddenly something shifted in my levels and my morning levels flatlined below 5 and have been around 4.5-4.7 and tonight I measured 4.4 before eating and I thought for giggles after my OMAD today of two high meat bratwurst, tomatoes, mushrooms and three...

Background retinopathy was the result! I was expecting something much, much worse after my horrific year of control last year and my dramatic drop in HBA1C so that’s a relief honestly. I was expecting something to have imploded in there so here is hoping the next screening is the same or clear...

I’m going to get a haircut. Dramatic huh? Well I’m an amateur writer an artist so sue me but I did want to dip my toe back into extended fasting to see what effect it’ll have on my weight and glucose levels. To add to that I am going to cap off my last day by walking from where I live into the...

https://openheart.bmj.com/content/openhrt/6/1/e001028.full.pdf?ct= I don't spend too much time on Twitter what are you talking about? Yes I know it's a mice model but considering how much we have seen from a lot of the fasting groups it seems that meal timing goes a long way towards giving...

So today I was alerted to the fact that my barely two year story of Diabetes has been published on the Hull Daily Mail website! https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/health/diabetes-man-loses-7st-reverses-2875514 I suppose technically the whole thing happened in the far off time of January when...

https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-05/uoe-rri051519.php For once I don't have to quote https://twitter.com/justsaysinmice at all here as they are using a human model for once and it's something I find most stimulating. The fact that our own expression of beta cell mutation do not go...

Now I wouldn't say that I talk about nutrition and health with my family a lot... Okay that's a lie. I don't stop talking about it. But today was a win for me, my Dad whom is Type 2 like myself but for a lot longer was talking to me about his bodybuilding days and the subject of breakfast came...

Just wondering if this was what was happening to me, noticed the past few days that my FBG has been hovering between 4.9-5.1 lately when the other week I was seeing consistent 4's. Post prandial sugars are around the same sort of range but sometimes I have been seeing 5.4 in the middle of...

So yeah! First gym session of the new routine today, absolutely loved it! Doing full body circuits and following the advice of @Mbaker too (thanks again for your help!) When I got home after a mile walk I tested BG and I was at a 6.5, okay I said to myself, it's just the adrenaline and cortisol...

Doing some trawling through Twitter and so on and came across this site: http://carbsanity.blogspot.com and for some reason I actually did some reading. Now this is when I hate having my self doubt and optimism being a little bit hindered due to someone else's opinions but it feels as if they're...

Holy moly I have been all over the shop these past few days when it has come to research, I am actually debating being a keto and T2D reversal advocate for the Yorkshire and Humber area at some point but I have been mulling over in my head what to do to secure even more health so perhaps as a...

A little phrase I have coined for myself today... Facing my diagnosis has been a tough one, hell a year in the making given my massive burnout last year after I was diagnosed following a yeast infection before a holiday (that turned out to be a nightmare for other reasons). Since the start of...

Wanted to pick the brains of anyone that has recovered from numbness neuropathy but my little toe on my left foot had lost quite a bit of sensation and lately it has been coming back a lot but sometimes it flares up with pain for nearly no reason, is that usual?

Hi all! Amusing little anecdote for today as I ended up going to see my GP for a bit of a follow up about my blood pressure and another chronic issue I've been having. I told him the results from the endo and I swear he was taken aback and giddy about it all, seeing how I turned my life around...
