[QUOTE="Mrright, post: 2157357, member: 516173"] Hi all, Fellow UK person, 41 years old. Had high blood pressure since late 20s, memory loss, brain fog, high stress, extreme hunger reactions between meals (sweats, shivering etc) at the time, constant fatigue and feeling cold. My belly fat started to appear at the same time and to me, those were signs of diabetes. Thinking back, the extreme hunger reactions were there from when i was a child...so could i have had insulin resistance issues since then? perhaps. I was always ill as a child and had stunted growth. Parents who were health professionals took me off various foods eg wheat, sugar when i was 14, and height shot up from 4ft 10 to 5ft 7 in 2 months. It was nothing short of astounding!. I am now 5ft 10. Following the blood pressure issues especially in my late 20s, i began to apply dietary interventions with low carb around 13 years ago but feared eating fat at the time which was a major issue. my health did get better but over time, things were getting worse, so i eventually tried low carb high fat around 5 years ago and now that is how i eat all the time. Improvements: +90% of the body fat around my belly disappeared. Body type has returned to when i was a teen. +blood pressure got back to normal +memory has got significantly better and brain fog disappeared +gums stopped bleeding +significantly greater amount of energy. +I can fast at will and do multi-day fasting and keep energy levels. Downsides: -when i eat badly, i feel the effects far quicker. Eg can get a sore throat immediately after eating foods cooked in vegetable oils (signs of inflammation?) I am also a graduate biochemist and research health and nutrition and hopefully can benefit the diabetes.co.uk community. That's what i am here for! [/QUOTE]
