Hi my BS level seemed to be getting back in control until I've done the 8/16 fasting routine for a few days. I've still lower carb ( around 70gm day) but my BS seems to be higher again. What am I doing wrong ? Is this a normal thing that happens in the first few days ?

What can I say ... diagnosed over 4 years ago , low carb diet for over 3 and now my Dr has said I'm no longer a diabetic . Great news I hear you shout but you know what I am diabetic , I may be in a sort of remission BUT to say that I'm no longer a diabetic isn't right . I don't want to be told...

Hi folks , me again with a challenge. This is a long one over the winter. I always want to be a couch potato when it gets cold but I can't do that. This challenge is about being as active as we can as much as we can until the Spring when it gets easier . Who's with me ?

As most of you know I need a challenge to help control my blood sugars and feel well. Apologies to those who are bored with my posts but it works for me. This new challenge is 30 minutes activity a day . The twist is that you can carry 10 minutes over and once you have 30 minutes carried over...
