[QUOTE="Diver Lou, post: 1859098, member: 475380"] Hello, Not posted in a while, but I have been lurking on the forum :) Just an update since the beginning of May time. I WAS touching 75 kg. Am now going under 64 kg and at weight I was about 20 years ago!!! I have still not bothered my GP; sticking to LCHF is working very well :) My other (non-diabetic) half also bought himself a glucose meter as he had also been gaining weight over several years. His GP just puts it down to old age though. He has read around on this subject and has decided to join me doing LCHF. His sugars are fine, as in that he doesn't 'spike up' after meals, but he has the Dawn Phenomenon (6.3 mmol/l). He wakes up and feel he has to eat to bring the levels down. He did try fasting a few times in the morning, where his levels will go up to 6.8 before coming down. Then his levels continue down throughout the day. We kind of understand that this could take several months to resolve itself. Anyway, he's managed to lose 8 kg so far, so now I'm not struggling to zip up his diving drysuit (see profile pic) :p LCHF - after my final blowout on a Father's Day meal that involved cake (read 12.7 spike!!! OH got an 8 after same food and same timing). We have both knuckled down, enjoying our fried breakfasts, stir frys (all in butter, none of this PUFA/toxic oil anymore), roast meats, etc. We are also feeling so much better in ourselves. Thank you for all the informative nuggets (non-breaded, of course!) and just to say that for T2 diabetes, one would not suddenly wake up one morning and suddenly become diabetic. More of a sliding scale; it was trying to sneak up on me. If my story can help any non-diabetics that can relate, I urge you to take control. If I can reverse skirting with T2, you definitely can!!! Cheers, Lou :) [/QUOTE]
