Good morning jjraak. Nothing at all to apologise for and I'm in total agreement with your feelings about this forum. Until I discovered it I was blindly following what I believed was a healthy regime and had never heard of lchf diet. I benefited greatly from following advice from kind and knowledgeable forum members, even reducing medication as I was experiencing frequent hypos due to a combination of increased exercise and low carbing. Unfortunately, things have gone pear shaped recently due to a string of circumstances and additional medications for other conditions and if my next HbA1c rises the doc says I may have to up my medication which I really don't want. Once I've got my "get up and go" back I shall resume the fight. Best wishes.Aahhh... @dogslife ...i got so wrapped up in posting, I forget it was one of your posts that got me thinking that way.....sincere apolgies, and hope things start moving in the right direction real soon.
And what a great example of the ethos on here, no one gets left behind and many rally to support us, at time of need.
hugs are for the being shattered not the numbersMorning...absolutely shattered today...left home at 07:30 yesterday got back at 11:30pm...woke to a 5.9
Thanks @shelley262 and hope this is helpful @dunelm@dunelm and @ianpspurs
posting the recipe file here think it is the most recent one but I am planning to revise it and add a few more ideas and recipies when I get the chance and will post on own thread when do this so we will be able to just copy the thread link and point people to it that way!
Enjoy

@jjraak thamks for the salute earlier but I am far from “inspirational”. This is all out war against Diabetes for sure and we wont win every skirmish or battle. But we will regroup and soldier on as best we can. Btw see on other thread your HBA1c is next week so good luck with that I am confident it will be excellent progress.
This is by far my favourite thread too..I used to post on other threads but wasnt clever enough and often got shot down. Here we go again lol. On here I feel welcome and among friends and I love the humour yourself and @ianpspurs provide which softens the dent of a bad reading more than you will ever know. Must stop gushing now!

Just read 'National Populism' by Matthew Goodwin....my word! (slightly off topic I know).IMHO we all need to be vary wary of racing to the fake news/the elite silo the moment something needs some analysing. Pretty sure there is common ground between LC and more fibre. Really can't see how the LCHF movement can be the only pure part of the C21st WOE tribes. Too many family traits with populism to be squeaky clean - again IMHO
Morning all
6.6 this morning which is no surprise after celebratory meal last night, ate too much and far too late but the cause for celebration..... scan was clear!
I have a reprieve and 6 months to enjoy life before next time when the rollercoaster starts again. Feeling light as air today though, everything and everyone is wonderfull ( especially you folks on here)
@PenguinMum sorry to hear you’re having to camp on the sofa with stomach pains, hope you feel better today. Same goes for you @Charis1213
@rhubarb73 I love your terrible poems.
7am and I’m feeling free
Cause yesterday’s score is history
My meter is reading 5.3
And it’s Friday - I am so happeeeee
(They’re getting worse, I am aware)
Thank you so much. Will have a great time going through the recipes.@dunelm and @ianpspurs

Hi @SaskiaKC , yes it is. One I came across recently in a book that I am reading that also resonates is; “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”Happy Friday, everyone. 6.1 for me this sunny freezing (-2 degrees) morning.
@dunelm is that quote in your signature from Last of the Mohicans?
No! I love this one!
So sorry to hear about Prof Gore I think the Royal Marsden will miss him greatly.As for being brave - I’m not, I’m a complete wuss but my family are fab and the Royal Marsden is a magical place so I feel blessed to have been referred there, everything about it fills you with optimism and hope.
You should be very proud of how your hard work has paid off. I take it you receive oodles of compliments on the amazing transformation?Hi everyone,
A bit late posting. 4.5 today.
As I'm getting my hba1c results on Tuesday, I took a new photo yesterday that's in my avatar now (instead of the maple leaf). It's to pair with my "before" photo (before diagnosis & low carb) and upcoming hba1c results for another forum. I have avoided having my photo taken in recent years but I rather like this one (my first selfie!). I still would like to lose more weight but daily living is much easier. I feel better and younger than I have in years (63 at the start of March.)
Here's my before and after - the before photo was taken at an event 2 days before my diabetes diagnosis (which was a complete shock for me) near the end of this past June. The newer photo was yesterday/.
