Hi Debandez, I didn't see this thread until after I'd posted earlier today. A great idea to share success stories. I have already put this on before and today and this is an article in which my story was told in the Daily Mail...

Thanks for such kind and positive words. I wanted to put the word out there and thought that even if one person out there reads it and makes a change then it is 100 % worth it. The Yorkshire Post article in the paper mentioned the diabetes.co.uk site and that I had got my advice from the...

Hello all, I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, as don't want others to feel I'm bragging. However, I've decided to, as the great people on this forum and moderators have given me great advice which has helped me so much. I had a story featured in the Daily Mail and it was a good...

How did I get here: years of eating high carb and high fat foods together; drinking cider three times a week and being a yo-yo dieter. The biggest change: my HBA1C going from 61 to 39 in three months since T2 diagnosis and feeling energised and good about myself. Where am I going...

Hi, I was diagnosed in January this year. My HBA1C has gone from 61 then, to 39 a few weeks ago. My cholesterol has improved and my GP took me off my metformin yesterday. I am a shift worker and two nights ago, had low blood pressure and a lightheadedness. This lasted for a few hours until...

Once again I am indebted to the advice I received from the forum in January. As I posted last week, my HBA1C has gone from 61 to 39, my cholesterol from 8.7 to 5.9, my liver results are normal and my IBS has completely disappeared. From the forum I was put in touch with the Daily Mail and it...

I’ve just e-mailed and have gone from a Hba1c of 61 to 39 since January.

I was extremely fatigued and exhausted. The two diagnoses in the same week of Type 2 diabetes and severe chronic obstructive sleep apnea. Sorry to hear about your experience and losing your toe.

Sorry Andy, I'm a bit confused as replied to your original post about being diagnosed in January and didn't see the following posts. Good luck with the low carb diet and for me it has been a revelation.

Hi Andy, this is remarkable but your story is very like my own. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, prescribed metformin in January this year. My HBA1C has gone from 61 to 39. All other blood results are amazing, my Cholesterol has gone from 9.1 to 5.9, my liver results which were abnormal...

Well done, isn't it great when you can eat well and be healthy. What annoys me is why they are dishing out the advice from the NHS. As a former nurse I would expect them to use research based advice and surely the testaments on this forum on how well ketogenic and low carb diets have worked...

My gp saw me in the corridor when I went for my blood test last week and said I looked really well. When I see the practice nurse in May, I'll try and educate her on her outdated dietary advice lol. :):):)

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January. My HBA1C was 61. I had evidence of a fatty liver and my cholesterol had been high for years. I originally took dietary advice from the practice nurse. I was advised the usual plate system with eating starchy carbohydrates such as she said...

Hi all, it is a while since I've posted. Thanks to the lovely and helpful advice from this forum, I've been doing low carb/ketogenic since I was diagnosed in January with type 2 diabetes. This has helped in two respects, the most important that my blood sugars are more stable and secondly that...

Hi there, I just wanted to thank the community for your advice. Since I started a low car diet two weeks ago after posting here, I have been a lot better and feel great. I have now lost 17 lb in weight since new year. However, the great news is that my blood sugars have been stable since low...

Thank you, I have been rather impatient but feel so much better, which is the main thing. :):):)

Hi, I have followed the advice from the forum and started a low carb diet for the last week. This was because my blood sugar levels had gone up and were spiking. Since then my blood sugars have been fine. I was previously on weight watchers and had lost about 10 lb in about four weeks...

Hi, like you, I’ve found it all very overwhelming having just been diagnosed two weeks ago. You are not on your own and this forum has been wonderful and advice I’ve had has at the moment helped me stabilise my blood sugar. Take care [emoji846]

Once again, thank you all for your lovely support and comments. It has been really helpful and insightful. I have seen a specialist about the sleep apnea and I am due to collect a CPAP mask and machine in four weeks (this is the earliest that they can see me). Thank you for welcoming me to...
