[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2459714, member: 521715"] I just add my story as a caution. Nhs standards say they normally need 2 diabetic HBa1c tests to formally diagnose diabetes. I had one, Then covid happened and I couldn't get get second test for ages. I went low carb, lost weight and reduced bg to remission levels BUT by the time I got my second test they wouldn't formally diagnose me so I am being denied vision checks, annual checks and routine bloods. My meter clearly shows me as diabetic when I eat carbs, so I know I am If you want to be supported and stay in the system I recommend starting slowly with lchf until you have been formally diagnosed. Type 2 takes years to develop and a life time to manage. A slower start to ensure formal diagnosis and on going support and tests would have beenmy preferred option had I known. [/QUOTE]
