Very interesting and such a head shift.

Hi Tricia, What is tmi? I've never heard if flaxseed porridge, but 15 gms if fibre in one meal is ****** brilliant. (Mod edit)

I think you're assessment is correct. Thank you. I am going to stop trying to increase fibre and stop worrying about it.

Ah! I hadn't thought about electrolytes. I have suffered from lack of them before. Thank you.

Omg! This was so helpful. I was worried that the change in my bowels was due to lower fibre than I have been used to. Looks like the changes are fine and nothing to worry about. You have just saved me from a life of eating All Bran. Its going in the bucket. Hooray!

Thank you both for your help.

Thanks for your comments. Its weird, not constipated, but not happening- so maybe it is less rubbish in, less rubbish out. By chance, just been to my good for something else, but mentioned it. She says carbs v fibre us a trade off, but didn't discuss zero of both. Interesting. Under 50gms of...

I use nutracheck app to measure food. On a low carb diet of 115gm per day, they recommend 24g of fibre. I have been getting 10g or less. Amazing how few grams come from fruit and veg. Rye bread, all bran and pulses better. Also similar fibre info on about 3 health websites. Started to look at...

3 months ago I was diagnosed as pre diabetic with an A1hc reading of 43. Thought I had it under control as I lost weight and was shocked that reading last week had gone up to 44. My fault, was way too lax. Now trying to stay around 50g of carbs per day. Nurse at my surgery said I shouldn't do...

I live in Edinburgh in Scotland.

No, I only had a blood test. I am going back to see a diabetic nurse in a couple of weeks and I am going to ask again for my test results.

Thank you. I will follow this up.

Thank you, that's very helpful

I only glanced at it. Does 14 mean anything. I can go back to my doctor if it would be helpful?

3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with prediabetes. My normally, very good GP has told me very little, just to get on with it and come back in 6 months. So, I'm getting on with. Bought diabetes for dummies and the carbs and cal book. I'm 70, weigh 10st 10 and am 5ft 5ins. I am a compulsive binge...
