1) No, I actively take salts when I'm low carb as I feel terrible otherwise and my resting heart rate drops really low (45ish), so personally I find I feel better and can function better with Keto salts. These are just potassium, magnesium and sodium as far as I can tell. I also heavily salt my...

5.8 - Been good with the low carb this week, so things are looking better.

Selby here!

Excellent research Mattrblue :happy: Kebab's are my choice of takeaway, so I'll be testing that out asap.. Have you taken up much exercise?

https://groceries.asda.com/product/rice/asda-4-steam-bags-cauliflower-rice/1000083677344 From Asda, there are 4 x individual frozen microwave bags (4.5 minutes), I had it last night for the first time and I really liked it. I think it was around 7g of carbs per portion.

That's really inspiring Matt, thank you. Cutting carbs is hard, but I've found some low carb bread, and cauliflower rice had helped fool me into thinking I'm eating carbs. 5.2 is so great, I can't wait to see those kind of numbers!

I do have a lot of excess weight unfortunately, and no history of diabetes in my family apart from an auntie who has T2 and also had a stroke before she was diagnosed. Last year I lost 1.5 stones all of a sudden, and presume my blood sugars were really out of control then as I remember being...

Fasting bloods 14.2 this morning. Low carb going fairly well this time I think and I don't feel jittery yet, although I'm expecting it to come back. Would you recommend having carbs before exercise?

Thank you for the link, I've read through it and although I do feel a bit rubbish I think I'm not too far gone just yet. My fasting bloods have come down a lot in the last 2 weeks, which I hope will have helped a lot. I'm just waiting for the doctors to call me back, I could only do an online...

Thank you for the help everyone, and thanks for the inspiration Oldvatr & Rachox. Pleased to report my fasting blood sugar as 15.6 this morning & I've started reducing the carbs again and upping my water intake. I really would like to try diet and exercise some more, before any medication...

I'm feeling a bit more positive now, the false hypo part makes sense looking back. If it happens again, what should I do with a false hypo? Have something with carbs?

Thank you for the replies.. yes, I'm really up and down all the time so my body really is struggling now. I wasn't aware of false hypos, so that would explain a lot. I've done an online consultation with the GP, hopefully they will be in touch and I can get somewhere. I'm going to try low...

Hello everyone, I've been on and off the forums reading what I can and thought I would join up today. Unfortunately I think I may have T2 diabetes. I've been monitoring my blood sugar in the last few months and my fasting levels are 19-20mmol/l. I decided to try and fix it myself before...
