Very true

Thank you, perhaps

I thought so!

Hi, I am seeing our GP nurse to discuss my latest blood test results. 47 (before this results were 48 then 52). I have started a keto diet again and am sticking to 50g of carbs or less.

Forgot to say, I have been gluten free for a good few years now

It's currently not easy to get tests at the drop of a hat so to speak so no, by the time I got blood forms from the GP I had stopped the low carb diet. However I have an appointment with my endo soon so I will be asking about these issues. Thank you.

Hi there, I am still learning about blood glucose and carbs myself. I am going to ask my GP for way more info given that I have had a reply stating the human body only need the equivalent of one teaspoon of sugar. Put like that it really makes you think about so much pushed at us by the food...
