Message: <blockquote data-quote="EggsEggsEggs" data-source="post: 2289811" data-attributes="member: 528069">My name is really distinctive, I may be the only person with it in UK, so I'll go by my nickname, Tay. Age is just a number. . Type two diagnosed 2007.  I was doing very well on low carb then the referendum happened. I was a full-time Remain campaigner and so focused on that for last four years that I lapsed somewhat. Not completely, but not keto. I didn't put on enough weight to be in the danger zone on the weight-height chart and didn't need to buy bigger clothes, but they are tighter than I'd like, on my stomach.During lockdown, I resurrected an old website, cleared it out and started working on it. I won't give website URL in case it's against the rules. I'm a college-trained former chef, with a certificate in nutrition and I've been doing ADHB certificates online during lockdown. My practice nurse took away my strips so I haven't tested in years. However, I do know which foods spike me eg parsnips and I'm also able to feel when my sugar is higher. I'm thinking of getting a combined blood glucose and ketone monitor, to use occasionally. GP said that I could ditch the Sitagliptin as I low carb at last review. He closed his practice week before lockdown. New practice just carried on with same prescription for 4 daily Metformin SR. My husband has NCGS so gluten-free. He bakes but I don't. I prefer not to eat a tonne of sweeteners. My body takes no notice of the theory and sees all sweeteners as sugar. Even 99% cocoa chocolate tastes sweet to me. My taste buds have really improved, eating natural food. My retinopathy improved, my neuropathy improved and when I first went low carb, I dropped from size 22 to size 12/14. We have been eating mostly organic and wild since 2012/13 and barely eat processed food.</blockquote>
