    Passing OGGT Utopian Goal?

    I know that a number of us has found LCHF and Intermittent fasting helpful in normalizaing our HbA1c. Perhaps I am being greedy here.. But has anyone experienced success in clearing OGGT after T2D diagnosis and being on low carb diet?

    LCHF questions

    A couple of LHCF questions if I may... I'm interested to know whether people eating LCHF count calories - or simply try and stick to eating only a few grams of carbs/day and not really worry about how much fat you're consuming? Don't you run the risk of overdoing the calories and putting on...

    Type 1 Ketosis

    Hi... Im new to this forum. Ive been on a LCHF diet for 7 weeks today and im still not in ketosis (ketones mesure 1.5-3.0). I think this is down to my basal still having to be around 30 units p/d. Ive lost 1 stone in weight but throughout the 7 weeks my blood ketones have been no bigger than 0.7...

    low carb eating

    its getting a bit frustrating trying to change to low carbs as I am unsure how it works, my doctor advised to change diets, I have just started to inject insulin and take meds also, the insulin doesn't seem to make any difference as my sugar readings are still up to 15, it seems to make no...

    Worried

    I thought I was doing well controlling my diabetes although I have lost a lot of weight since September and am now 9stone 5 from 12.5. I have been doing the low carb diet but my dietitian says I do not need to lose more weight and I agree with her. I need to try and introduce some carbs in my...

    Does anyone eat Sushi?

    My favorite thing to have once a week but trying to avoid now because of the rice. Do you think it can be worked into the LCHF diet?

    Type 2 and normal HbA1c with just diet/exercise

    Normally I wouldn't brag about my results as they seem not that unusual for people following a LCHF diet on this forum, so I won't - just the facts. Three months ago I stopped taking metformin and my HbA1c was 6% - not too bad. I also changed my diet from low carb to very low carb; ketogenic...
