This week I made appointments to speak to my GP and my DN to see if and how I can help in the local community in any way. GP appointment was to request a cholesterol test primarily as it had gone up in May to 6.8 from 5.2 in December. (My home test kit says it's now 4.25 but I just wanted the...

Diabetes.co.uk meeting/event Date - Saturday 1st September Place – Birmingham (venue and times to be announced in the next few days) I'm currently working on putting together the above low carb high fat (LCHF) event. It's an event open to anyone, especially those interested in learning more...

Hi everyone, I’ve been reading about LCHF and I’m wondering if it’s possible to do this without Ketosis? Only because I don’t think I’d be able to stick to 1 or 0g of carbs - that seems extreme to me. Does anyone know if it’s possible to have a more balanced approach to the low carbs side of...

Its going to take a while this so may I suggest you make yourself a coffee and top up with lashings of double cream of course! Or if you are reading this during the evening maybe a glass of the red juice! Maybe it doesnt have to be evening.....or red! Just make yourself comfy. Here goes.... I...

Bit of context ......this all started in March 18 when I had my blood work done for a thyroid operation. Just before the operation the anaesthetist called me to say "I believe your worried about your Hb1Ac levels" I said "am I what's that test for?" anaesthetist "Diabetes and yours is 61...

I have been pootling around with a LCHF diet for the last month. My aims are to lower BG and to lose weight. I have struggled with portion size over the last 3 weeks, mainly to do with over eating due to stress, and as a result have only lost a few pounds after an initial big drop in the weeks...

I was diagnosed on the 27th of April with a HbA1c of 82. I had already started to make changes to my diet to cut out processed foods and make sure I was eating a balanced diet with a good mix of nutrients. A few days later I went to see the Diabetic Nurse, and asked for a blood glucose meter so...

I'm seriously thinking about trying this. Been reading up on it a lot lately. However I'm worried about losing more than a few pounds. Do any other low weight type twos have any experience of this type of diet? Just wondering what the outcome was. Also I'm on medication for diabetes and taking...

Steve Gibson is a remarkable computer expert and seemingly all-round good bloke too. I have visited his website https://www.grc.com/default.htm many times over the years to test PC firewall effectiveness etc with ShieldsUP! and for his other free software. Under his...

The LCHF diet has many health benefits but is also known for enabling/causing weight loss. What is likely to happen to an already thin person who doesn't want/need to lose weight if they go low carb? Is it possible to say? (My technical knowledge is somewhat lacking here.) Many thanks in advance...

Hello, I am Allie, and I was diagnosed with T2 on 27th April 2018. I am very overweight, with most of the fat around my stomach, so if I only looked at the arms and legs I could kid myself that I was OK. That changed when we got wardrobes with mirrored doors. I asked my Doctor for blood tests...

The carb value per 100g in Waitrose green lentils (10.9g canned and 8.3g dried) seems pretty low compared to dried Holland & Barrett Green Lentils which is given as 48.8g. Why the big difference?

Listen to the first 30 mins of this interview to hear Dr Jason Fung explain what Diabetes is REALLY caused by and why an LCHF diet can reverse it and enable weight loss. https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=154525 Apologies if this has already been posted...

So as you might know or see from my signature I was diagnosed about 10months ago with a HBA1c of 95. No symptoms that I was aware of or recognised. After some good work with LCHF diet I got my HBA1C down to 44 in 8 weeks - boy was I strict. But then over the following weeks my numbers came up...

I am currently trying to control my bg by LCHF and recently started 500mg Metformin daily. I have been aware for a while of feeling a little nauseous from time to time, but this morning it is bad enough to be disabling. I'm worried my body isn't tolerating HF, but as I am eating under 20g carbs...

Hello! I'm pre-diabetic (HbA1c of 43) and both my wife and I have very limited energy because of ME and CFS resp. I want to go onto a LCHF diet, but neither of us can undertake eg baking special bread nor cooking moderately complex meals that other people would find simple. I'm sometimes...

I’m feeling celebratory this morning as I’ve just got on the scales to see 9 stones and 13 pounds - a 2 and a half stone loss since September 2017 so many life changing events since I started lCHF and then later added in intermittent fasting. I haven’t been in the 9 stones since my 20s! More...

Hi I was diagnosed with T2 in Oct 17 with a HbA1c of 84 and put on Metformin, of which I should be taking 4 now but only taking one as I want to control this by diet and exercise [now walking 10k a day] So I'm self testing my BG and 11 weeks ago my weekly average was 10.90, for the past few...

Hi everyone, I’ve been t2 for a year and a half and my last a1c was 5.1. I follow a low carb diet and have lost 13 stones so far with 6 more to go. I keep low carb every day and last Christmas I was too scared to eat so I had cheesy sprout for Christmas dinner. I’ve come to the realisation...
