lchf

Recently i've produced a leaflet for t2 diabetics who would like to try the lchf woe to help control bs, or for anyone who would like to just lose a few lbs. No requirement to be diabetic! In conjunction with my GP surgery who have been amazing I must say. It's almost finished and ready for me...

Spotted this whilst putting together a leaflet on LC woe for my GP surgery (hoping they will use it!). Saw a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure it was only 300+ then. Now 600+ already. I think it's a great idea for us to share our journeys to help others. I know that when I was first diagnosed...

I received a polite request to start a separate thread about self monitoring with the Freestyle Libre, to avoid information being lost in another thread. I've started it here because it covers so many areas; LCHF/keto diet, exercise, BG monitoring to name but three. My normal regime (when I...

Hi again, I have been low carbing for past month have had amazing results (I am 20 years old). My parents have reservations about me following LCHF. Where i live LCHF is still unknown and doctors and dietitians still prescribe High Carb and low fat diets. On top of that they are scared of...

I had a partial success with the GP 'diabetic specialist' today in that after a several refusals he accepted that I should be allowed to try a reduction in my statin dose (Atorvastatin down from 40mg to 20mg) since my Lipid figures and ratios are good. At first he said 'Atorvastatin does not...

I have not been feeling so great lately, brain injury related stuff/depression and type 2 diabetes so I made an appointment to see the diabetic nurse for a quick check on state of play as I was not due to be seen till July. I have been generally keeping my BG under control but it feels like I am...

Firstly i would like to start with a massive thank you for all the support given to me by so many, too numerous to mention all but you know who you are, since my diagnosis on 8th December last year. I can never thank you enough for all the help given, the time you give up to help when you have...

It is rather clear that medical professionals do understand the value and mechanics of ketones...but only when it is drug induced? For the Good of Your Patients, Continue Using SGLT2 Inhibitors Per-Henrik Groop, MD, DMSc DISCLOSURES November 14, 2018...

I started a LCHF diet in June, but was unable to reach ketosis for some reason - possibly too much protein....? My HbA1c was 116 in May 2018, 54 in August, and today I found out it's now 43. My liver function tests were finally normal in August (ALT = 24, down from 66 a couple of years ago) and...

I loved DreadCaptainRobert’s ‘Captain’s Log’, as a Star Trek reference, so I thought I might take her lead, as in beloved ‘Alien’ movies, seeing we are both here reporting and logging a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) around the same time. The first spaceship in the ‘Alien’ series was the...

I have just been looking at the Diabetes.org.uk site at food recommendations, after following a clickbait link on Facebook about the signs of foot damage for diabetics. I am now feeling really angry at their recommendations to eat carbs with every meal, and low fat everything. If I ate like...

Hi all. My husband has recently been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I have been on a ketogenic diet for a few years due to PCOS, insulin resistance and obesity with excellent results. He has decided to emabark on a low carb lifestyle with me. Our only concern is that he is already very slim and...

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...

If people haven't heard this before... I thought people might be interested in this interview with Dr. Carrie Diulus. Although I'm Type 2, I found it fascinating. She's a Type 1 diabetic (developed as an adult) who is vegan and eats a keto diet. She also has celiac disease. She's also an...

Hi all :) I wonder if you could help/ advise me, please? I have been following a LCHF diet for months now and it has really helped me, brought my fbg levels right down and helped me lose a lot of lbs. Recently, past 2 weeks, after a birthday meal (which I couldn’t avoid, I ate pizza express...

Hi all :) Currently I am on a dramatic weight loss journey..I have lost nearly 5 stones since mid April..but I am becoming concerned about the possibility of being left with loose skin. Although I try to keep active and have started to do some weight training, I am struggling with my lower body...

Im stunned, shocked, saddened, gutted in fact. I've just recently joined the PPG at my surgery. In reply to my first email welcoming me I asked for stats (after saying thank you of course). Here is my email: I'm wondering if you can help with some information i need for an up and coming...

Well...what a great event in Birmingham it has been. Building foundations. First of many events, fingers crossed. Massive thanks to Diabetes.co.uk and their PR team for the help and support given to us all. A happy bunch of diabetics getting together to try and help others, travelling from...

After being on Meteformin & Glizicide for 11 years as a T2D - 12 weeks ago i came off all my meds and decided to follow a LCHF diet as a vegetarian eating eggs but no fish which has been very hard. My previous HbAc1 reading back in July 2017 was 50 this was on the meds. After 12 weeks it's gone...

I'm just finishing the Inspirational Stories booklet for the Birmingham event on 1st September. It's looking great. Still some editing to be done so not quite there yet. On the last page I thought about adding some quotes which may have inspired us along our journeys. I think this would be a...
