Hello all, There is a lot of diabetes in my family, including my dad and both my grandfathers. A number of my uncles also have it. I'm a 31 year old male, with a BMI of 21.1 (67kgs @ 5'10"). I had a full blood workup when I was about 25, including blood sugars, and they did not mention...

It has been 8 weeks for me on the very low carb high fat diet as a T1D. In the past may be 2 weeks I have noted this mild high-pitched ringing on both sides, fluctuating a bit if I am walking like it is sort of pulsing a bit but not when at rest. It does not disturb my sleep and if I am occupied...

As forum members now have a few articles under our belts we thought it might be a good idea for them to be linked to a specific thread on the forum for all to see, and also share where possible. I'm going to kick this thread off. I'm so very happy to do so. Many from this forum want to help...

I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED I have been diabetic since 2002. I was told that my diabetes would progress and so it did. First Metformin then I started using insulin 7 years ago. The dosage was gradually increased. Four years ago I read Dr David Cavan’s book “Reversing your Diabetes”. As I result I...

Edited to addNovember results to these as my HDL has gone up an therefore my total but ldl has come down a smidge! Three months ago at my annual Diabetic Review - in May 2018 - the majority of it was spent on what I was made to feel was my major failure - my total cholesterol score of 13.7...

Dear all low-carbers. Yay, FBS was 4,7 mmol/L this morning, the lowest in years, but OhNo, I've gained almost 2kgs since Monday. What's going on? Since the end of March I've been cutting back on carbs, and have lowered my A1C from a whopping 13,4 mmol/L to an average 6.5 mmol/L, or an...

Let me (age: 61 years) put some results after following LCHF food for the last 6 months. 3Kg weight reduced from 60Kg. Normally I am a lean person with minimum muscles. Now all my muscles lost and feeling less strength in bones and joints with overall body weakness. I am a polio affected person...

Diagnosed T2 but very high chance T1.5 (awaiting test results) I've been observing a virtually carb free diet. I'm talking lower than 50g per day. I've had to or suffer high readings and all the thirst and peeing in the world. Low carb, low fat is near impossible so my fat intake has...

In January 2012, I received my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes when measured HbA1C at 99 and a fasting blood glucose of 19.6. I had at that time a doctor I strongly questioned both then and later. I had for about 6 months pointed to my physician I suffered from several symptoms typical of diabetes...

I have just returned home after seeing my DN for my yearly HBA1C results. didn't have a review last year so got nothing to compare but I knew my numbers were going to be up as test myself. So 78mols 9.3% target 7.5% cholestrol 4.68 so that is great. Blood pressure 136/55 and pulse 55 weight...

Has anyone heard of Cowspiracy? I got a leaflet through the door saying a screening of this film is being shown at our local arts centre. I looked it up and apparently it's all about the 'destructive' animal food industry. I watched a video on Diet Doctor that said there are a lot of myths...
