Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed T2D in October 2021 with an A1c of 118! I'm delighted to report, that with a mix of metformin, diet and exercie, my latest A1c was 43. I have relaxed a little, but generally am low(ish) carb, exercise more, etc, etc. I have a few food related questions. If anyone...

Saturday 15th August 2020, 7:37pm I've had recent HbA1c result on Wednesday 12th August. Given that my last reading in Feb 2019 was 42 and what with lockdown and everything else going on I was rather nervous that my number would be worse than the last time 18 months ago, but I also secretly...

Just rewatched the Horizon episode with Michael Moseley exploring intermittent fasting (it’s the one that led to his publication of the 5:2 diet) and I’m curious if anyone has followed any of the IF protocols and has good results. He tries extended fasts (4 days with just water, black teas...

Hi I’m new to the forum and on week 7 of the Newcastle diet. It’s going ok but the weight loss isn’t as high each week as I’d hoped. After one month I’d only lost 1/2 stone. I’ve now gone back to the gym too and have two of my three milkshakes on either side of a workout, hoping that will help...

Without wanting to sound like a moaner i went to the DESMOND course yesterday and found it incredibly unhelpful and quite demotivating. Am i alone in thinking the NHS is just way too conservative in their advice? The LCHF diet has got me to where i am now, having lost lots of weight and getting...
