Hello everyone, I'm not a new member but haven't posted since being told I might have M.O.D.Y so wonder if anyone knows if there is a topic on this type of Diabetes please?

Hi Little Grey Cat I just came across your post. I live in UK It was suggested to me by my Doctor about 3 years ago that I might have MODY as my family and myself are all very slim people and Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Father and Sister all had and have Type 2. I was diagnosed T2 at the...

Hello, this post is actually about how to eat on a low carb diet without losing weight ?I have had 'Type 2' since 1991. I take Diamicron 20mg twice a day. I have always been slim but in March 2017 It was suggested that if I did a Diabetes Manaagement course, just starting, it would help me gain...

Hi, just noticed you asked me a question !!! Sorry you asked if I was 'eating lchf?' but can't decipher what that 'lchf' is ? Is it an abbreviation ? Hope you see this as I am curious !!! X

Wow, cake ? sausage rolls ? biscuits ? that sounds great but entirely different to all the advice given to us for years. I was told I had wheat intolerance so have avoided this for years too ! I was having severe tummy pains eating whole meal breads and pastas so gave all wheat products up. It...

Thanks, this sounds, like a good combination and delicious too ! X

I'm going to try, thankyou X

Thanks, I would love to get my HBA1c to your level of 48 without losing weight !

Thanks very much for the reply. So I guess I can still gain weight by eating fats and protein. I have to admit that the worry over the falling weight has put me in a panic and I have increased my carbs today because Im so fed up with the anxiety., I thought I'd just go back to eating as I did...

That sounds like common sense. As far as I know I am Type 2 and have been for 27 years. i have been told that I have controlled it well as the highest HBa1c I have had is the one I quoted of 53. However, I didn't realise that one could become a Type 1 from being Type 2 ! Is that what you meant ...

. Thanks David, I guess if I was able to get back to 112lbs or 8 stone then I would be halfway between the two which seems that it was a perfect weight for me and i was happy. The 104lbs has left me looking like a walking skeleton covered in skin. NOT a pretty sight !!

Hello everyone, I am 67 have type 2 Diabetes and I was recently given the opportunity to partake in a Diabetes management course and so over the last 5 weeks have changed the type and portion size of carbs I am eating. My weight has gradually dropped from a stable 7stone 13 lbs to 7 stone 6 lbs...

Yes when I picked up my prescription this week I was asked point blank. " Is it really necessary for you to test twice a day? Your'e only type 2 after all !!" I reacted straight away and said "I said yes it was just as necessary for me and others with Type 2 Diabetes to test so that we can...

Hi Angel, what is 'lchf,' as in your first question? Might try the Lindt though. Thankyou X

The chocolate sounds good, however wouldnt that make a high spike in blood sugar at night? Wish I could eat the others but stomach won't tolerate as explained in my reply to Rob above. Thankyou so much for answering.

Thanks so much for answering Robkww. I have actually tried eating some proteins which may be good in a small amount, the only problem is that they don't sit too well with my main meal protein which is usually fish .As I am getting older my digestive system has slowed down, so I end up with...

My Avatar is a tribute to my lovely little daughter killed by a drunk and drugged driver.

Hello, wondered if anyone has any advice for a wheat intolerant diabetic like me as to what I could eat as an evening snack that isn't porridge or Nairns oat biscuits !!!. I also get quite a lot of bowel pain also from most fruits. So my diet is pretty limited. I have T2 diabetes and am taking...

Thankyou both Yorksman and Badcat both replies are very helpful as, yes,Yorksman, I did have a letter and there was no suggestion of doing anything. It was just the usual standard letter to make sure I attend my next screening. Your'e right it is quite distressing ! I visit an NHS screening van...
