Interesting video but would need to check sugar contents in some of the recommended fruits and juices like pineapple and black cherry juice,but celery and omega fish oils sound ok. Will go to Holland and Barrett's over weekend and ask about these natural foods for gout, and see if they recommend anything different due to being diabetic, it was very thoughtful of you thank you K

Or use sliced lemons, lime and grapefruit instead of the recommended cherry juice.

I would also use fresh celery stalks and add water in a blender.

Hi again would rather eat the celery than blend it but will give grapefruit and the limes a try, I squeeze the juice from my lemons to drink with 8 oz warm water would I do the same with limes and grapefruit? K

Same here I’m afraid.

The “high fat” bit of LCHF diet raised my cholesterol to dangerous level!

So I’ve been advised by my GP to reduce saturated fat and eat healthy fats instead from oily fish, avocados, chia seeds etc.

I am newly diagnosed.Probably Type2, no test done to confirm it yet.

Have been reading a lot about LCHF diet to control. What if we do LCHP - Low Carb High Protein. Been trying it out......


Also focusing on eating fat as we get Double amount of energy than that from Protein or Carbs.

High protein is not recommended because too much or excess protein in your diet turns to sugar!

Protein on lchf diet should be moderate, about the size of the palm of your hand.

Mine was 9 fbs and last mid migth 12. This went of control after I went for a one week road trip during which I didn’t have very good control.


I read somewhere Body tries to regain its state i.e. if u have wound body will heal. Similar with blood sugar. if u r ,say 15 mmol, and then u change u diet to bring it down. Initially body will try to maintain 15. Only After sometime ur BS will starting decreasing.


Eat some Low GI carbs before sleep , might help.

Thanks for the response. Doesn’t everything we eat protein/ fat and carbs turns into glucose eventually?


To counter diabetes I have started heavy workout..so need to take protein. More muscles and it will increase insulin sensitivity.


I will start eating low GI carbs from today and see what my reading are.
