[QUOTE="Moo63, post: 1251238, member: 331266"] Thank you for your messages and best wishes, it’s so good of you to show support and share your stories and tips. Hi Ameeno, I’m glad to hear that you’ve managed to find a way that seems to be working for you. Sorry to hear though that you’ve had abnormal liver function test results and yes I’ll be keeping fingers crossed that we both find some improvement soon :) Debrasue, thanks also for your post. Your story is very inspiring and I cannot be more grateful for this website, it’s taught me so much already just reading through people’s experiences. As for the LCHF approach, I’m not sure but that’s not because I don’t believe it works, it’s because I have existing heart problems and I’m not yet convinced that high fat will be the right thing for me. I’m so glad it worked for you and I hope that if I can’t use exactly the same method that I can get somewhere close to it :) Melliemars, thank you for your messages and list. I’m making more notes and I’m off to Lidl tomorrow to try and buy their protein rolls. What a great idea that was! Thank you so much for all of your tips and best wishes. Hugs to you too and I hope you find yourself in a good place each day :) I do at least half an hour of exercise a day so at least I’m moving but I am concerned about the low carb high fat diet, for me anyway. I’m just going to have to hope that I can find something that will suit me but it’s a worry. I used a monitor for the first time today. I had an edam sandwich made with granary bread and I used a bit of butter. Then I had a few strawberries and one small slice of cantaloupe melon. Before I ate my reading was 6 and two hours later it was 11.2. This evening my family were having chinese and asked if I wanted any. I know it's not a brilliant idea so I said no but then I remembered reading about a diabetic who'd had chinese food and they'd coped quite well with it so I had second thoughts and decided I’d give it a try just so that I’d know in future.
