Oooh! I'll try it. T Only downside is I could legit eat cake and pastry all day using this method cos it makes me peak super quickly but then also come down very quickly (ie. within an hour) whereas a big salad raises it much later...

Yes, I see. But you did manage to reduce your bg with weight loss? I was told by a dietitian to go for 44kg... Which I will do if it will restore my insulin response as it is supposed to! But so far I'm not sure it's having an impact. Below 42 is an unhealthy weight for me, so a little way...

Okie doke - so eat before exercise to reduce the rise? Mind you, I think I tried both breakfast and no breakfast before walking to work and my bg was higher with the breakfast. It was 10g cereal and milk so quite carby. I could try nuts? Dyu mean more fat across the day or before exercise? I...

I've been cutting down on carbs and doing a lot more exercise since Feb. I roughly aimed for 100g carbs a day. I lost weight to 48.5kg then plateaued around there. From June, I've gone harder on the weight loss since my HBA1C came back exactly the same. I was less strict on carbs because I was...

OK, so maybe some nuts before bed? Or a creamy coffee for breakfast? My night time bg is 6 ish and it climbs to 7 or 8 when I get up, then sometimes 9 on my walk to work

Thanks - all good tips! My hypothyroidism is asymptomatic (like my diabetes!) but I've not been given reason to think it should stop me doing anything. I've recently started IF so can continue. I've found it a good way to manage my appetite and lose weight. Pre-diagnosis I probably was eating...

I wish I did sometimes! Then I could lose weight and it would work again!

Don't think I do - my liver enzymes are all at the low end of normal eg. ALT 13

No - no medication

For example

I kept a food diary when I had a libre sensor on for a fortnight. Don't think I can bring myself to finger prick yet! I'm losing weight easy peasy - but my bg doesn't come down. Lowest BG is 5.5 regardless of what I do - eat, fast, low carb, high carb, low fat, high fat, exercise, no exercise...

I'm not doing Newcastle, just gradual weight loss which started as a side effect of low carbing. The advice from Newcastle Uni is that gradual weight loss to lose 15% of original body mass can be just as effective as short term extreme dieting. What is DP? I don't think I have fatty liver -...

Thanks - yes, I have been thinking about buying a muscle/ fat scale. Definitely would do muscle-building if it would work!

I'm 152cm/ 5ft - both slight and petite! None of my old clothes fit since I lost the weight! I have a blood test for thyroid function and antibodies scheduled for a couple of weeks time. My last blood test (June) indicated proper hypothyroidism. The plan is for a repeat test to make sure this...

I didn't ask 'what works?' I asked 'are there any thin (south Asian) people for whom weight loss worked?' I didn't say I don't want to do low-carb. I said I don't need advice on it.

Thank you! I'd kill for your measurements. My best night time is about 5.5 and my pre is usually 6.5. My average is about 7.5 according to my libre.

I have tried low carb!!!! I don't need advice on it because I understand food and nutrition and I have seen the impact of different carb amounts on my blood sugars. I started with low-carb. I lost weight via low carb. After reading around, my ambition was reversal via weight loss. I was told by...

Thanks! I'm veggie though - so is this even possible?

I'm not 'resistant' to low-carb. I just don't need advice on it. As I keep saying. I just want to hear from people like me on what they have found to work. Not an endless stream of people telling me to switch for full fat milk. Sorry to be cranky but I have found it quite annoying and...
