I’ve just realised that page number 1973 of this thread has been and gone and I don’t have an entry on it. :-(
AmazingHi 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 but I rather like this one (my first selfie!). I still would like to lose more weight but daily living is much easier now. 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, no symptoms or family history) near the end of this past June. The newer photo was yesterday.
Yay! I'm glad that is all done. I'm trying to picture an oil tank and I can picture a propane tank and I'm wondering if the two are anything alike.

Here you go, @Chronicle_Cat --
Lots of people in Georgia and Alabama have basements. I think it depends on the age of the house sometimes, or the size of the house. Both houses I have lived in had partially underground basements, with outside entrances, housing the furnace and hot-water heater and used for storing lawn mowers and other yard equipment and also good as tornado shelters. In one house it was basically what is called "crawl space", you couldn't stand up straight but you didn't actually have to crawl. In the other house we could walk upright. I've also been in lots of houses that had fully finished basements, with steps down from inside the house, and rec rooms and/or bedrooms and a bathroom. or laundry room.
In some neighborhoods I have known in Alabama houses don't have basements but are built on concrete slabs. I don't know why, except I've heard it costs less to built a house on a concrete slab than to dig a basement. But I would want a basement for tornadoes!
So sorry to hear about Prof Gore I think the Royal Marsden will miss him greatly.

Thank you for your kind words. I had no idea it was up. @Goonergal informed me. I was so surprised as I had literally only just sent it to them this week and thought nothing more about it! I'm delighted. I think real life stories always inspire. For our Birmingham event last year we put together an inspirational stories booklet. Lots of us sharing our journeys. It's incredibly powerful and if anyone would like to read it just let me know.Thank you everyone for the lovely comments. I'm so glad my friend told me about this site and I found this forum and thread. It's so supportive.
Kudos to those of you like @Debandez, @shelley262, @Rachox and ,@Goonergal and everyone at the Low Carb meetup (I hope I haven't left anyone out) who are spreading the word far and wide about how LCHF helps Type 2 diabetes.
@Debandez
