Thankyou, well was diagnosed 1yr ago, but to be honest I still didn't diet or do much testing.. Some scary results like a 112 Ab1 have kicked my **** in gear now !

So ive only been testing rigidly for 2-3wks so i can learn how things and foods affect my blood. I tested before bed last night, which was also about 3hrs after food. It was 6.4mmol (which considering 3wks ago I was averaging 12-16mmol is great start). When I woke today I tested before...

Thankyou, that is interesting indeed, I will give the GP a call and ask him. Only actually started Invokana last week so should be easy to stop.

Yes indeed, due to the new diet and changes i am testing 3-4times a day to be safe!

No, just a general checkup 3wks ago

Bloods currently about 7-8mmol before meals, so a vast improvement and feel WAY better in just a few days, just worried when the doctor said "good, no ketones" when he checked a few weeks back! Meds I am on are Metformin and Invokana ? So far I feel great, bloods are better, have no symptom's...

Yes, a week ago it was averaging 15-17mmol, now since starting loose carnivore its averaging 7-8mmol so good improvement on bloods. But ketones?

So I am T2 and started a loose carnivore diet (a few carbs still but <10g) 2-3days ago. Loosing weight and bloods are way way better, measured my ketones with urine strip and it shocked me at 3.9mmol, now I know generally speaking ketones means ketosis and good for weight loss and glucose...

So day 1 on the Carni, i may have overdone the portion size but steak was lush ! First day has gone well, no pining for carbs yet.... haha

Just ordered a handful of pork scratchings, genius idea, thankyou!

Never thought of pork scratchings, genius ! For now I have bought a handful of packs of sliced meats, if I need a nibble I just grab a couple of slices, and yes fine with diary so melted cheese on ham etc sounds like another great plan. Thanks

Following my recent post of a A1c of 110 :( GP has now put me on Invokana as well at Metformin, of course made the mistake of googling it and find loads of negative sites about it! But take it have for past week now, and I have to say so far its made a big difference, Tests are on average down...

Right, I know the old adage (excuse) of "I will start tomorrow".. But since my first post here a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to use up food I had in freezer etc as frankly couldn't afford to waste it! BUT, freezer was emptied finally last night, and ive been to supermarket and stocked up on...

Yes, i always have a little anxiety and GP knows its always high at surgery. Ive just ordered myself a BP monitor, so going to see how it seems over a few days.

Thanks all, making me feel better

Wow, almost sounds like a dream diet, what's the catch? haha

Thankyou sir, i am there !

Terrified of recent blood results

Hi all, thanks to @bulkbiker for pointing me over here. Long story short, my blood results are through the roof and really really need to get my eating in order. Sadly I have always been a "Meat & Spuds" (every day, meat and spuds!) kind of food guy, usually topped off with a couple of white...

Thankyou, helps to talk, feel better already reading your reply.. Thankyou kindly. So you telling me I can really eat meat, fish, cheeses etc without limits? As meat, dont really much problem with any meats or cheeses, or fish. I think I just little old fashioned. If I cook meat or fish then it...
