Message: <blockquote data-quote="Listlad" data-source="post: 1968943" data-attributes="member: 499223">Back in 2003 / 2004 I decided to lose some weight by following the Hay method of dieting and exercising. The Hay diet involved alternating between a carbs and vedge / fruit meal followed by a protein and vedge / fruit meal. It worked. However it was at this time that I became quite ill. Initially the symptoms were intermittent and short lived. I sought diagnosis but nobody knew what the problem was and I saw a good number of specialists over about a 1 year period. Eventually I was hospitalised when the symptoms became particularly severe including severe pain just above the abdomen. It turned out it was pancreatitis and this was caused, so I understand, by gall stones in the gall bladder. The gall bladder had to be removed. This stopped the pancreatitis. And all has been well ever since though digesting fattier foods can be problematic.I have since heard that the gall bladder problems are common in those that participate in an Atkins type diet program. I don’t know if that is true or not.The surgeon who removed my gall bladder rather prophetically told my wife that he anticipated me experiencing diabetes in later life.Fast forward to 2014 when high blood sugars were picked up in some blood tests conducted on me at my GP surgery. I have since then had some A1C tests as listed below.I am interested in the idea of a LCHF diet but am worried that this will present problems for me including indigestion, when it comes to digesting fattier foods. I tend to stick to lean meats where possible but find that lots of fattier meats, chorizo and mackerel for example, can be difficult to digest without discomfort.I also have high blood pressure issues.I wonder if there are people here with similar circumstances?I have just been reading a thread about Type 3c diabetes but so far Type 2 has been the expectation should my current condition deteriorate.</blockquote>
