lowcarb

I found this brilliant forum after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis in December 2017. The forum members helped and guided me back to good health in a short space of time. Forever grateful. So i recently decided to make this video sharing exactly how I put my type 2 into reverse and also lost over...

I will be forever grateful to all the forum members on here who guided me back to good health. Too many to mention and I don't want to leave anyone out so will just say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone. You know who you are. You do such an amazing job of helping and supporting.....and so much...

Hello! I am popping on here to share support to you all and to say thank you! My name is Natasha I am 45 years old 5 foot 11 and 77kg and live in the UK and work as a music photographer. Last year I had the most awful summer with debilitating pain in my side for months! I tried several times...

Hi everyone My name's David and I type one diabetic and have been for 20 plus years. I'm on Nova rapid and levemir insulin and use a freestyle Libra 2 cgm. I've wanted to lose weight so I decided to start a low carb diet or keto. I lost 10lb in water weight Which I was so pleased with but...

Hi All, this is my first post. My son (9) has been diagnosed for a year now with type 1, we've got it fairly well controlled (HBA1C 6.1%, TIR 4-7mmol/L about 88%) and after a few months of intensive sugar surfing with the conventional "eatwell plate" diet, we have slowly transitioned to a high...

I am so exited to share this. For anyone that enjoys bread this might interest you. Today my low carb bread arrived from Amazon, not cheap at £5 a loaf (no i haven't won the lottery haha) or 35p a slice, which sounds much better. I bought from Amazon...

Is there any information about the low carb programme and if it is suitable for people with ckd 3 eGFR 43? Any information links would be appreciated. My HB1AC is 48 and I need to lose 2stones . Thanks . The programme is on offer and I’d like to purchase it.

Discussing COVID-19, Diabetes, Obesity, Weight loss, Low carb and lots more on you tube this weekend (a 2 day conference) LIVE STREAMING starting with a local Dr, Dr Unwin, talking about losing weight with the low carb diet, and talking about it. Its effects on type 2 diabetes. And much more...

Hi there, well, as the title of the post says I'm feeling pretty gutted today. I went for a 50 year old birthday check up at the GP's practice and it came back with Fatty Liver and Diabetes t2 112 and my finger-prick test was 12.8 today, I had eaten porridge at that point. I also have a long...

Once again I am indebted to the advice I received from the forum in January. As I posted last week, my HBA1C has gone from 61 to 39, my cholesterol from 8.7 to 5.9, my liver results are normal and my IBS has completely disappeared. From the forum I was put in touch with the Daily Mail and it...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January. My HBA1C was 61. I had evidence of a fatty liver and my cholesterol had been high for years. I originally took dietary advice from the practice nurse. I was advised the usual plate system with eating starchy carbohydrates such as she said...

Hi all, it is a while since I've posted. Thanks to the lovely and helpful advice from this forum, I've been doing low carb/ketogenic since I was diagnosed in January with type 2 diabetes. This has helped in two respects, the most important that my blood sugars are more stable and secondly that...

Hello, I was wondering if someone might be able to give me some advice. Ive been diabetic for almost 18 years now. Diagnosed when I was 11. Ill be 30 latest this year. I have been prick testing my blood and injecting myself 4 times a day for what feels like forever. When I would go to my...

I am getting a lot of mixed answers about doing a low carb diet (30g of carbs per day) and having T1, some people say it’s dangerous, some people say it helps manange BG levels! I only want to be on low carb until I lose a stone and then I’ll probably go to 50g of carbs per day to maintain. Can...

Hi, I have followed the advice from the forum and started a low carb diet for the last week. This was because my blood sugar levels had gone up and were spiking. Since then my blood sugars have been fine. I was previously on weight watchers and had lost about 10 lb in about four weeks...

Shame about them diluting the article with introduction by a nutritional scientist who is clearly a carb advocate but rest of the piece about my journey is mainly correct. Other errors are small ones eg I use erythritol not stevia and I’ve continued with what they call treats throughout this way...

Hey, What is your daily low-carb routine? What do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between?

Just got my results today: HbA1C is 38 down from 51 Triglycerides 1.41 down from 1.97 Plus I've lost nearly 2.5 st since late May. My DN is going to check out the lowcarbprogram, after not taking much notice when I first saw her.

a good friend of mine from twitter, in fact the person who introduced to me low carb and dr Bernstein’s approach about 10 months ago, so I have a lot to thank him for. He has been now told by his medical insurance they will restrict his insulin pen needles to a certain amount and think he’s is...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a diabetes friendly cake delivery service? Thanks!
