Hi . I saw an advert for this procedure online today. Has anyone had any experience with it? I am hoping by keeping to a LCHF diet to avoid going onto insulin in the future, but does anyone know if duodenal mucosal resurfacing works?

Hi. When I was first diagnosed with T2 at the beginning of June 2019 my G.P told me not to aks him any questions as he would refer me to a diabetic nurse. Despite my emailing the surgery several times, this has not happened. I have found a lot of good information on this forum, but is it...

I did the Exante diet (3 shakes a day) for two months and lost a lot ofweight then moved onto 2 shakes and grrens and tofu and continued to lose weight for 2 more months. My bg went from 9.5 to 5.6 in the first 3 months. Now I have either a Purition shake with unsweetened almond milk or keto...

Hi. My bg had gone from 9.5 to 5.6 at my first HbA1C check at the end of August I have kept my diet the same , so stopped testing my bg regularly. Over the last few days I noticed a lot of tingling in my hands and feet and some bad headaches so I tested my b.g and it was 6.5 fasting in the...

I just got my first HbA1C results 3 months after being diagnosed with Type 2. I have gone from 9.5 m/mol to 5.6 mmol. Feel relieved that all this dieting and cutting out carbs has worked. Thanks to those of you who have supported me and given me advice along the way.

Hi. I had my original test (and I was dianosed as T2 from this) on May 30th which was 80/ 9.5 mmol .My GP told me I should then be tested after 3 months (which would be en dof August). I phoned the surgery to ask if I needed to book the blood test now and she said my GP told her that there was...

Hi. We have friends coming round for a meal to celebrate my son's birthday and I would like to make a cake that everyone can enjoy.(in moderation :) ) One of our guests is prediabetic and I have type 2. Please can anyone share a recipe that you use to make a sponge cake that can be iced. As we...

Hi everyone. I saw some posts from several years back where posters said they had helped lower bg using karela(bitter gourd) tablets. Has anyone had experience of taking these tablets recently for Type 2? Is it safe to take if you are using Metformin already? Would anyone recommend using it if...

I have been on a Newcastle type diet, but feel that there is too much sugar in the shakes/bars etc and want to transition to a low carb diet, but still lose weight. After reading the forum it looks like around 20/30 g of carbs a day would be an amount to try. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs so am...

Hi. I have been following the Exante diet for just over 2 months now. I eat one of their diet bars in the morning, then have a shake for lunch and soup sachet in the evening. I do have quite a bit of weight left to lose, but am more concerned with getting my BG to non-diabetic levels. Most of...

Hi. I bought the book Carbs and Cals, but several of the carbs have different values according to different websites. Where is the most accurate place to find out how many carbs are in a type of food? Also, do you count the total carbs shown on the nutrition panel on the packaging or do you...

Hi. I have been following a Newcastle type diet for 5 weeks now- 600 cals a day. For the last few days my feet and calves have felt really tingly and so have my hands. I checked my bg just now and my meter showed 2.2 mmol/L . I don't know if this reading is even possible as a correct reading. I...

I often fast (for religious reasons)- only water for 24 hours. Can I do this safely whilst taking Metformin? (I take 2000mg a day). I have seen different answers when I searched online.

I saw a post on one of the other forums asbout Lo-dough pizzas. Unfortunately for me and my family, it has egg-white in it. Do any of you know of a similar product that does not have eggs in it and is suitable for vegetarians? I would find a product like that really time saving.

Hi. Can anyone share their recommendations for a vegetarian low carb/calorie soup that is quick to make? (Not with onions though!) I have a mug of marmite broth sometimes, but would like to make something with fresh vegetables that could be made in a big batch and frozen if possible.

Hi. I have been doing the 600 calorie (3 shakes a day) Exante diet for 3 weeks. Today I started the week where you have the 3 shakes plus a low carb 200 calorie meal. Is it safe to do this with Type 2? Since I ate the veggies and tofu my fingers and toes are tingling a lot and I don't know if...

Hi. If you are starting a LCHF diet, is there an amount to start on and then adjust up or down depending on your BG reading? Sorry if this is a daft question. I just don't know how many carbs I should be looking to eat when I come off the Exante diet. I guess it must vary from person to person...

Good evening. I was diagonsed with T2 on 30th May and my G.P said he thinks that due to the high Hb A1C level I must have been undiagnosed for quite some time. I went to the chiropodist at the weekend and she checked my toes for any signs of damage to the nerves and found that 3 have no...

Hi. How much Braggs amino liquid can you have per day on a LCHF diet? Can anyone recommend sriracha sauce without garlic? I have looked online ,but not found any answers. I am thinking what I can put on my green veggies as from Wednesday I can have 200 cals of green veg and my 3 shakes per day...

I got a letter offering me either a place on a DESMOND course or 8 weeks of telephone support from Oviva Diabetes support- which is a diabetes specialist dietician. I opted for the phone support as I don't drive and it isn't easy to get to where the DESMOND course is. Have any of you used the...
