Can anyone offer any suggestions or share their experience? I’m T2 with poor control (my last HBA1c was 90) which is a different topic all together. My issue is that 10 months ago, I noticed some redness in my lower shins and some occasional tightness. The doctor looked at it, diagnosed it...

My levels have come down lots since my original post - thankfully! My spiking is still under control and my base levels have come down to around 10ish now. Although my fasting levels can be around 8 or 9 on a morning. It’s only early days I guess as I’ve been doing it 4 weeks so I need to...

I felt every word of the original post - it’s almost exactly the same as my situation. Up until 4 weeks ago that is. I was diagnosed 2 years ago too and buried my head in the sand. My very high HBA1C didn’t frighten me enough to fight my food addiction. Every day was a never ending cycle of...

My friend is a nurse and has worked in GP surgeries. My GP diagnosed me with asthma following a telephone conversation alone (no actual physical examination, lung tests etc) despite my lung capacity being fine. Despite my insistence that I’m not asthmatic, they won’t remove it from my records...

Tesco currently have “Carb Killa” ice cream bars on offer - they are around 7g of carbs per bar. A little high I know but they taste great - the peanut one is an exact replica for a Snickers ice cream

The surgery have been pushing me to take medication since I was diagnosed but I’ve resisted so far, for various reasons. Not least because I felt like accepting medication was accepting it was lifelong condition that couldn’t be cured. But deep down I knew it was my lifestyle that got me in to...

They are aware of my HBA1C and so I presume they must know that my daily BGL is high?! I haven’t contacted them since starting the new plan, no.

Hello, I was looking for some advice please. I have only just plucked up the courage to take control of my T2D diagnosis and take steps to rectify the problems. My blood sugars have not really been controlled other than a cursory glance at my FBGL on a morning every now and again (always...

Thanks everyone! Out of curiosity, when will my blood sugars start getting within normal ranges? I'm on my third day of Keto/LCHF (eating less than 50g of carbs a day) and I've yet to record a bgl reading lower than 11. Is this normal? Could it be because my levels have been so high for so long...

Thank you all so much, your advice and guidance has been really useful and I feel a lot more informed already. I've started the LCHF/Keto diet yesterday and I'm monitoring my bgl's throughout the day now (as opposed to just fasting bgls). I'm still fasting 16:8 also. Hopefully this will help...

Thank you for the advice and the warm welcome! Previously my diet in recent years was very heavy in carbs - most meals centred around refined carbs - pasta, rice, white potato etc. I have a very fussy partner who has a huge appetite (he has a manual job) so it was easy to knock up meals loaded...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I have done this right but I was hoping that you would be able to help me please. Background - I'm 34 and I was diagnosed with PCOS around twenty years ago and receive no treatment/medication. My adult weight has fluctuated between 14st and 23st at my heaviest. I...
