Thanks Kenny - we’re on holiday at mo …so I’ll pm you when back next week (I don’t know how to do it on my phone!!!)

Hi Kenny, my husband is interested in this...whereabouts is it ...and are there any spaces for new players? Thanks, Em16

Brilliant - thanks Kenny. Also, thank you for posting the info about the Low-Carb Skipton group. I found it really interesting, informative and supportive. I've barely taken my head out of Dr. Verner Wheelock's book today. Cheers, Em (!)

Ah!! That looks easy enough :cat: thank you!!

Thank you lovinglife. ...I'm not good at using the Forum either...although I'm often online and reading the very helpful advice. I can posts questions but wouldn't know how to tag someone/contact direct etc! Em :)

Hi, I am hoping to join in with the low-carb meetings in Skipton. I think you run them Kenny? I've sent a request to join the Facebook group too...but I am not good at using Facebook (!) so am not sure that it will have worked!! Just wanting to know when the next meeting is that I could...

Thank you all so much....I had just typed a reply to all, and then discovered I had was not logged in and lost everything I had written. I'm so sorry as I don't wish to be rude (which I now feel) and I had taken time to answer queries and to respond properly as I really do very much appreciate...

Thank you Resurgam. Yes, your advice is very good - I have all my correspondence and I'll make a record of the phone calls too. At least then, I feel I've monitored it myself. I'll continue to test fairly regularly too, and self-fund the glucose strips - it is very worth it to me. As you say...

Hi, sorry this is a long one...but I am feeling very down. I've been discharged from the diabetes team at my hospital and told I am not diabetic.....or even at risk of being diabetic.....despite my knowing and discussing with them, for over 2 years now, details of the low carb/high fat diet...

Just adding to what has gone before ....we've switched to using an air fryer in the last few weeks and we are loving the food as well as seeing on the smart metre that its cheaper than our electric oven. Also batch cooking and freezing. Em

Hello, I've been fairly reeling the last few days.....since going low carb I've increased the amount of nuts I eat and I've eaten, daily, a lot of brazil nuts. I'd no idea they were toxic in large amounts. I've been having symptoms of toxicity without knowing: metalic taste in mouth (I...

Hi Dily, I have a low carb/high fat diet to control diabetes, but I also snack (nuts/small greek-yoghurt mostly) because I am thin and struggle to maintain a reasonable weight otherwise. Initially I tested after all foods, including testing at an hour, an hour and a half, two hours and so on...

Hi, my readings have all been lower during this hot weather. I thought at first it was a problem with a batch of strips! DN told me that the warm weather can lower glucose. I've had a little extra carbs on the back of this.... a half slice of toast this morning with scrambled eggs was...

Hi Rachox, that is a fantastic, sustained achievement - inspiring and lovely to read!!! Congratulations!!! I wanted to post emojis too...but I can't find them??!!!!

Hi, I've eaten out quite a bit since diagnosis, including being away on holiday. I've mostly managed well by: *checking the menu first for things that are obviously ok, *looking at what foods I could swop within meals I've fancied, *phoning ahead if it's been a night out, where it would be...

Thank you HuckFinniganagain, yes, I think that I need to keep a close eye on things, and I am fortunate that I've good support who think the same. It is helpful to have the insight of how the honeymoon period tailed off for you, even if, as you say, it could vary for different people. I am...

:) It was all such a shock and a blur at the outset that I never even clarified what was meant by inconclusive at the time. I am so thankful for this website, where I think the real experts are and the best advice available and given! Thanks again, Em

Thanks ert, I had a c-peptide test which was inconclusive - I might ask for a repeat of this if my sugars don't stay where I would like them to when low-carbing:-)

Thank you both for your replies.....yes I've had C peptide and Gad but they were inconclusive. I was initially diagnosed as Lada, but as time has gone on and I've managed to control with LC/HF I've queried that diagnosis - hence the not known if type 1 or type 2. I'm under the hospital and...

Hi all, My current diagnosis is literally 'not known whether Type 2 or Type 1'. My consultant says my insulin is Type 2 but my metabolism is Type 1 and that he expects that I will run to Type 1 in time - that I'm essentially LADA and currently in the honeymoon period. I've been...
