weight loss

with me being recently diagnosed with t2, I’ve been doing so much research. Sometimes when I’m looking at articles and forums I can get negative thoughts it my head, last night was one of them! Now I can’t remember the website I was on, I think it was like a forum but can’t find it....it was...

I have now published an update on the following which includes some corrected medical info and can be found here ========================================== A big "Thank You" to those who host/run the Low Carb community forum and to all those on the forum who have helped me personally with advice...

This short presentation by Paul Mason speaks to possible reasons why we lasses sometimes have difficulty losing those excess pounds. About 16-17 minutes of gold.

this is something I’ve been really thinking about...even if it may sound stupid to some....I didn’t have symptoms of diabetes until my blood test stated my blood sugars was high..... So let’s say for example there’s a person out there who is diabetic but they don’t know it, let’s say they are...

Ten years on, after ten years of hba1c on the 5% bench since a few weeks after diagnosis, and excellent cho ratios, and a stable weight of 8st 7lbs (I was always one of the "not overweight people" with diabetes T2), I find in the last two weeks I have lost 5lbs and am permanently hungry. I eat...

I've been doing keto since mid January and have been pretty strict with it. At first the weight fell off, I lost over a stone in 5 weeks but since then I've had a month long stall. I can't think why (apart from hormones as my periods have stopped). I'm eating less than 1400 cals a day (242 lbs...

Hi all, (bear with, it's a long post, but I hope it helps) I just wanted to give a quick shout out for any and all those that have been newly diagnosed with T2 diabetes – DO NOT PANIC, IT’S GOING TO BE OK…..honest! :) I'm not preaching, I'm not 'fixed' and I know I can't get rid of T2, but I...

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...

Diagnosed PreDiabetic end July 2018, panicked at first, then found Carbs and Cals book. Did well with diet initially, aiming for 100 carb a day. Thought I had it cracked:smug:, then discovered was losing too much weight. :meh: Am 1.67m tall. Weight fell from 56.8kg down to 50kg, still...

Hi I am 23 Years old and have Type 1 diabetes. I have had diabetes for nearly 4 years. I am desperate to lose weight and have noticed since being diagnosed as Diabetic I find it hard to lose weight (I also have a underactive thyroid). I have trued losing weight previously but want to try losing...

As the title suggests, I am a long time lurker and I have finally decided to join. I am a type 2 who was diagnosed in 2005 in my late twenties. No doubt my diabetes was caused by my life style choice as I was overweight and at my highest being 165kg. Over the last 3 years I have dropped 38kg...

Hi, I'm doing a diet and regular (and vigorous) exercise 6 - 7 times a week. Already lost 3+ stones. I expect my doctor to take me off Metformin (2x 500mg / day) soon - even before my diet and weight loss the HbA1c was 49 - 50 and I'm hoping that it will be much lower than that now (I'll go for...

I recently had my 3rd diabetic review. I must admit i was feeling apprehensive. I was diagnosed last December with a HbA1c of 62. That went down to 47 (pre diabetic level) in Feb following a LCHF diet and in May it was down to 41 (non diabetic level). 6 months into my new way of eating I had...

I have read such mixed reviews about whether a high fat low carb diet is beneficial for type 1! I am already putting on weight after 4 days of taking insulin and don’t want to put on any more. Has any one got any advice on what diet to go on?

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...

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...

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...

Hey team, I'm T1, have been for 8 years (it's my diaversary tomorrow!). I'm using a pump and a Libre, I have all the tools to keep my diabetes in check and lose the weight I've been slowly gaining, but I just am not holding myself accountable for it. I was hoping there was some sort of app or...
