@Ultramum I think you have your plan spot on.My FBG has dropped (but ever so slowly) over the last month. It was around 8.5-8.8 - now around top sevens or low eights so it's getting there. Control through the out the day seems fine +/- 0.5 most days - evenings usually end up about 6.8ish.
I'm assuming that as the FBG level comes down the other levels will follow it.
I only lost about 7lb initially- no more loss at the moment. However my shape has changed and hubby says I look more like I've lost a stone (lovely man!)
I'm aiming to get those sugar levels down first - then I'll address the weight issue by adjusting fat consumption.
I'm reducing the protein consumption a bit but my breakfast is still quite protein heavy - 2 eggs, 15g cheese and four mushrooms in butter.
I've never used so many eggs in my life!
Oh, no. The eye came back to working in November. I just had a scan that showed a bulging disc in my back. I'm laid flat for most of the day (since Chrimbo). I having the epidural in April to try and resolve this literal pain in the a**e!What! We are to have snow tomorrow That water may look tropical but it's The Minch and even in July it's freeeezing. We are going for the Hillwalking and Peace
What is the epidural for NMD? Is it for your eye?

Sorry to hear about your back and I hope they can fix it soon for you.Oh, no. The eye came back to working in November. I just had a scan that showed a bulging disc in my back.

Great result for your HbA1c though - what an incredible transformation in a year. Well done!
@Ultramum I think you have your plan spot on.
After stopping cheese, cream and nuts I've lost weight.
I got my bgs and fbg towing the line 90% of the time.
In fact just booked my hba1c for next tuesday (result end of that week or monday).
Have you found reducing or aliminating carbs to help a great deal? I had to reduce protein too, in the end as my bgs just crept up as my day progressed.
Hi again @Ultramum In addition to the information @ickihun has given, I would say that it appears if you have a lot of weight to lose, lchf seems to encourage rapid loss but I found when I started lchf in Aug2015 with 1.5 stones to lose that I dropped 7lbs quickly and then it was "murder polis" to get the rest off. I remember that general portion control, i.e less carbs protein and fat increased exercise and intermittent fasting were all needed to get rid of the last stone. By that time all of my BG levels had dropped into 5s to low 6s with the occasional 3.9 after exercise. The truth is that I need to calorie count as well as eat low carb. You have made a brilliant start and will get lots of advice on the forum (whether you want it or not ) P.s I was able to come off all meds after getting tight control. Lchf works!
PPS I currently have to lose the 12lbs I recently regained. Ah well!
