diet

Hi I am finding now that things are getting very foggy in the NHS regarding the treatment, diet etc of people with type 2, which I myself suffer. I have been type 2 for a decade, although a previous doctor failed to make a simple diagnoses after de facto evidence of classic type 2 symptoms...

I'm curious to see what everyone's first thoughts when they got diagnosed. When were you diagnosed, and how old were you. Thoughts about the present and the future.. needles and diet that would have to be followed, checking blood levels everyday for the rest of your life... Let's see if there...

Hello Everyone! My name's Sean O'Sullivan and I've been T1 since I was 5. I'm now 23 and because of being stupid when I was younger and not looking after my diabetes, I have some retinopathy problems. I've been on a waiting list for almost a year to see a diabetic specialist and finally got to...

Hi there- I''m really struggling with this right now. (I also posted on the Ask a Question section, before I saw that there is a forum dedicated to Type 1). I am 46 years old, have had type 1 for about 35 years, and I've been in good control for the past 15+ - no complications and doing well...

since discovering the LCHF diet ten days ago, I have stuck to it, I lost weight in the first 4 days, but now the weight is going up, Breakfast is either cheese, hard boiled eggs or coffee with double cream, lunch is avocado and kippers, and dinner is normally veg such as courgettes, romaine...

Hiya, First time post, behalf of my mother. My mum has Diabetese type 2 for almost 20 years, and she has recently turned 62 years old. She has been on oral medication to control her sugar level, which is Metfomin 500mg and Glycoside 80mg. Like many people, my mum tends to eat the wrong food...

How do you lower a1c? You lower your a1c the same as you lower your blood glucose. Cut back on the carbohydrate foods by focusing on eating the right type of carbohydrates! Exercise regularly Live a healthy lifestyle Yes, I know, you probably get sick and tired of hearing that stuff but this...

Hello I was wondering what levels your hpa1c were before some form of medication was given? Like Metformin? I was diagnosed last year with hpa1c at 51 going down to 49, 2 weeks later after a retest. After 3 months going hard at it dieting (LCHF) and exercising (treadmill) I lost a stone and...

So I have been thinking about it for a while, and the window of opportunity opened so I have dived in and am going to try my best at my first attempt of the Newcastle diet. I intend to use shakes and supplement the three meals with the prescribed green veg. I started this morning and had one...

Hello, I was diagnosed a year ago and to begin with I was good at managing levels, increasingly feels harder (suspect it should be the other way around!) I still eat carbs but sometimes seem to get it completely wrong. Today was on 7 before breakfast (good for me on fasting); had a bagel for...

Hi! I've recently started to do slimming world, I'm only following the plan from home not going to meetings. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I would have to syn hypo treatments? I'm hoping and thinking not!

Hi all, I'm an A level student currently writing up a dissertation for an Extended Project Qualification which investigates the role of diet in management of Type 2 Diabetes. It would be really useful to gather some primary research to include in my project so I was wondering if anyone could...

I am on a low carb diet for my insulin resistance, under 60 carbs a day. I lost 7 pounds as of three weeks ago but since last week my weight has not moved at all. It stays between 226 and 225.8 pounds. How do you overcome a plateau? I eat chicken and salad for two meals of my day and I eat dark...

I have insulin resistance. I am not on any medication. Below I have posted my diet/what I eat in a day. In the past 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds doing this. However in the past week I didn't lose anything. Is there anything you would change or add for more weight loss results. I fast until 2 pm...

I have high insulin resistance and I am currently on no medications. How many carbs should I eat a day to lose weight weekly. My diet is mostly protein and low carb right now. Also does fat cause trouble with insulin? I wanted to try keto because I heard from one source that eating fat helps you...

I've lost seven pounds on a low carb diet in the past 3 weeks. I have insulin resistance and I am not on any medications. I eat under 60 carbs a day. Just recently my weight was at 225 and now it is at 226. I have flirted with a little more carbs recently maybe at 70. How many carbs should...

My main goal is to lose weight. I haven't been able to at all since and before I've been diagnosed. I just switched to a low carb diet, keeping my carbs under or a little over 50 grams daily, and eating mostly protein and salad. I've done this for two days with exercise and the scale hasn't...

I have insulin resistance. My insulin level fasting is 24/25. I've been having trouble losing the hundred pounds I put on for more than a year now. I eat pretty healthy and I do exercise, sometimes I eat carbs. But when I do or don't eat carbs it doesn't make much of a difference. I went to a...

Hi guys, Thanks to all for your participation to this forum, it is always a tremendously nice experience to read everyone's posts! I am planning to try the Dr. Bernstein diet - which advocates high protein, moderate fat, low carb, but my issue with diets is always to get enough calories as I...
