Hello there! I can't believe I didn't realise this community existed before! I'm on the FB page but then realised all the acion was somehwere else: here!
I love the website, it got me started to understand blood glucose values, blood plasma, HbA1c, seriously, I feel like I know about biology now!
My GP diagnosed me as prediabetic in 2013 due to hyperinsulinism and post prandial hypoglycemia. At the time she just vaguely mentioned to "look into diets like Atkins" to try and get in under control. I did, I went low carb, then researched a bit more and went following a proper Ketogenic Diet. In 6 months my blood works put me all totally safe from any diabetes related scare, I dropped 30kg which was a nice side effect, but I just continued cause the health improvement is just too broad to just give up for processed foods and sugar.
I have fun trying to make low carb versions of all foods I can on YouTube mainly (i was doing different stuff there, but Keto took over since people started asking me about it last year) and I even ketofied the great british bake off every week (I know you will appreciate it, most people watching my stuff didn't even know what GBBO was!)
Anyway, great to have found you! Hope to learn even more about how to battle and handle the D-beast!
