Hi Jason. Nice to meet you. Glad you've found your way here...there is a wealth of information on this site and some really great people who will happily offer up advice and support.

I've been on this site a few months now, I was in a similar place to you when I joined but since being here I've received some great advice and by following LCHF which I discovered here...have managed to get my diabetes back under control...have a good look around...ask any questions you like...there is always someone who will have the answer.

Hi Jason,
I am also here to book my ideas up LOL
I used to tell people i am a NONE PRACTICING DIABETIC and just carry on as normal
But It's about time i sorted myself out
 
Hi everyone,
I am 45 years old, female, married with 2 children, working full time in NHS.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 DM, 5 years ago with fasting BG 11.5. I was started on Metformin SR 1gram once a day and Simvastatin, after 2 years later my meds was increased to 2grams once a day and statin changed to Atorvastatin (stronger apparently). I knew that my results were going up so I started to eat low GI carb, but i still eat bread (i love bread) i always make cinnamon roll. I had the shock of my life this month as my HbA1c went up from 42 to 73. I told myself, hang on a minute this is not right, i need to do someting, i don't want to have all the complications of diabetes. First thing I did, i looked for help online and joined Diabetes UK. I find all the forum very helpful, (i read almost all of them). I downloaded the recipes and i ordered a glucometer to do self-monitoring. I even ordered coconut flour and almond flour, just in case i crave for bread. So far, for 3 days now i did not have carb (no rice, no bread, no potatoes, no pasta). I will try my best to carry on this diet (God give me strength) My glucometer will be arriving in 2-3 days and my next blood test is in August....wish me luck.....'till then. Thanks everyone.

I am sure He will. What you are cutting out in my experience are the best items to lose from the diet. I used to be hungry all the time but once I dropped those the huger went as well - or at least the extreme hunger. Keep up the good work!
 
First I am sorry for your loss.

Your cholesterol sounds about the same as mine and I would resist statins if offered. There are, in my humble opinion, better ways of getting it sorted. Stick to your guns gal! May I suggest, if you have not already done so, losing bread and spuds from the diet? I am not a fan of low calorie diets on the whole.

I sing in a male voice choir. I would say that singing can indeed be classed as physical. I sometimes feel quite exhausted after we have had a hard two hour practice session. Don't discount it.
