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...

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 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...

Hi everyone and HNY I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this/whether it could be useful or not/how to go about it...but here goes: I do still love to eat out. I've had varying responses from places to eat about LCHF meals/swopping foods in and out etc. (mostly good, luckily) and...

Hi, if all goes to plan, then I am in the very lucky position of skiing in Canada (Banff) in April 2022 for a fortnight. I'm Lada 1.5 but its early days so I mostly eat very low carb and avoid taking insulin - although I can take if needed. I don't have a basal - just use as and when...

Hi all, I hope everyone is safe and well. Can anyone advise please on the following: I have recently begun to use insulin by injecting prior to eating a meal with any more than very low carbs. Some meals I'm continuing to just low carb and I don't take a basal injection as my sugars are ok...

Hi, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted help for my question about cholesterol - you're all stars as far as I'm concerned for the time and care you've taken to help me and others. I've followed the links, read the articles/watched the videos you've sent over this...

Hi, Hope everyone is as safe and as well as possible. I was diagnosed with Type 1.5 in Feb. I'm currently still producing some insulin and I'm controlling blood sugars using the High Fat Low Carb diet. However, my last blood tests showed my cholesterol had increased to: Overall...

Hi, I have predibetes at 43mmols. I've always been slim, eaten reasonably healthily and am very active....so I was already doing stuff advised to do to be healthy. On diagnosis I thought I could maybe just knock off a few puddings (which I did eat lots of!) but when I got on here and started...

Hi, thank you to people who have helped me so far re: not wanting to lose any more weight when eating low carb diet. I have upped my snacks and got stuck into the high fats and my weight is steadying now which is great. My glucose readings are good providing I steer clear of the carbs/keep...

Hi, this is my first posted question but I've been reading lots already on here....thank you to all. I'm prediabetic, 43 mmol, aged 50, 5 ft 2 and have always been slim. Having seen that carbs clearly spike my blood sugar eg. 25g brown rice (added to home made keto cauliflower curry) sent my...
