    High Ketones

    Hi Guys, been a good long while but need some advice. Basically thought I had a UTI and was treating it as such with lots of cranberry juice etc. Essentially caused my Type 2 to flare up (I was in remission) and go symptomatic which I've never experienced before. Needed fluids, I think an...

    Carnivore essential foods?

    Nevermind the fact that I once again fell off the wagon last night and am feeling awful and not just physically. Today is a brand new day and I need to keep trying to move forward. Stress is a huge trigger for me it seems. Anyway, with my question about raw liver, I'm wondering what other...

    Raw Liver?

    So I've been seeing a lot of stuff recently about people eating raw organ meats. Particularly Liver. It's claimed by various Youtubers and websites to have lots of health benefits over cooked but my question is, is it safe? Anyone tried it? What's your experience?

    Musclefood alternatives?

    So with going back on my low carb/ dirty keto diet which worked so well for me last time. I'm looking to stock up on meats. I always used to use musclefood but found my last several orders haven't been of the same quality as I'd come to expect. Chicken breasts for example where full of water and...

    Nailed it!!!

    So I've just had my first 3 monthly test results back and I've dropped from 52 all the way 34! Well into the normal none diabetic range. I've also lost just shy of 5 stone. I've done this without being fanatical about what I eat, I've eaten some carbs weekly, kept drinking my Robinsons fruit...

    Best place to shop for low carb?

    So where do you guys shop? Any recommended online stores etc? The Fiancee has been going to Aldi but everything there seems to be loaded with carbs and sugars. 70% Cocoa chocolate I was looking forward too, loaded with sugar 7.5grams a square. Even the Greek Yoghurt there 5% fat, the only one...

    Help! Weight seems to be shooting up daily!

    So I was diagnosed two weeks ago, threw myself onto a low carb high fat diet instantly and by last Thursday had lost roughly 12kgs (mostly water weight I know). My usual weigh in day is a Sunday so to keep it scientific I weighed myself again. I was up from 191.2kg on Thursday to 193.4kg on...

    How do you test blood sugars if you're needle phobic?

    I'm not quite phobic of needles but after 5 months of daily injections, pokes, prods and pricks the thought of doing anything like checking my bloods fills me with dread. Are there other options?

    Question about Aspartame and type 2 diabetes?

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I was curious if anyone knows if Aspartame can cause type 2 diabetes. I've been diagnosed just over a week and know my blood test had a level of around 32 only 6 months ago, now 56. I absolutely loved fizzy drinks and about 6 months ago decided to...

    Yet another newly diagnosed type 2, saying hello!

    Hi Guys, I was diagnosed type 2 last Thursday and prescribed 500mg Metformin three times a day. I had a score of 56. I'm not surprised I've become diabetic, I've had a rough 12 months. I was savagely attacked at work on fathers day last year, my leg broken in 12 places and now held together...
