low carb

So I moved to a lower carb diet since last week and I can't get my blood sugars to come down to range during the day at all. They only come down during the night then spike back up when I wake up and continue going up all day and night no matter what I eat or take for bolus. I have mostly...

I made this video sharing how I put my type 2 into reverse and lost 50lbs in weight too. A definite side effect of lowering my carb intake. All carbs turn to sugar and diabetics are basically sugar intollerent. The less sugar the better. 45 minutes and 79 slides showing my journey which I...

Found these in Sainsburys I think.... individual packs not this huge bag.... And they're delicious! And ZERO CARB I've tried others and found them horrendous but these are mild and have the feel of wotsits on the tongue. Wholeheartedly recommend...

I recently put together a short (13 minute) video of my journey with type 2 diabetes, which I was diagnosed with in December 2017. I am, and have been for 3 years, officially in remission. It was for an event I was invited to speak at, Australia Low Carb All Stars. I have had a lot of positive...

Dr David Unwin's longer term results from his General Practice published in the BMJ (Link to actual article opens a .PDF - which I didn't notice at first).

Stumbled upon this recipe on the old interweb and it'd be really simple to make low-carb or even keto just by switching out the sugar for erythritol. And it reads like it'd be delicious... so I thought I'd share :) Hazelnut parfait A quick and easy parfait with a delicate nutty flavour. The...

What really matters is ; Are you smarter (or just better informed) than your doctor? Dr Paul Mason's video covers all the major Low Carb and Keto related myths - T2D, CVD, Bone Density, Cancer, Dementia, Obesity, Insulin, inflammation Fructose, Carbs, Seed Oils, Omega 6 Oils, Salt, HDL, LDL...

This looks like it’d be relatively simple to make low carb. Switch out the flour for almond or sunflower seed flour, the sugar for golden serve or monkfruit maybe and you may well have an uncle called Robert. It’s a Meera Soda recipe.

3 T2D patients talk about their experience of LCHF.

So I’m working my way through all of these books right now to get a better handle on the low carb Mediterranean diet and to kick my sugar addiction. I’ve also got Annie Grace’s 30 Day Alcohol Experiment as the same principles about sugars apply to alcohol and I’m a sucker for a bit of delving...

I think we all need a motivation boost every now and then to help us either reverse or manage our diabetes situations. I’ll go first. Years of being 2.5 stone overweight, beers, ate poorly, sitting down too much, no exercise. In August was told Hb1..was 44 and pre diabetes. Shock! Results...

I just came across this video of a presentation at this year's Low Carb Down Under. I feel it is very significant, of course we will have to see if it is accepted by the traditional elements, or not. Jessica Turton - 'An evidence-based approach to developing low carb diets for type 2 diabetes':

hi i’d love to lower my carb intake but my blood sugar dips at meal times and I feel I need carbs to keep going. If I go an hour beyond my usual meal time I can feel really ill. Shaky , sweating and faint. I’m not on any medication as after dieting and loosing several stone I’ve kicked it into...

Hi, having been diagnosed with pre diabetes I have been religiously sticking to ( sometimes even less than) 1000 calories a day ( and low carbs). I have never dieted before and this is all new to me. I also run three times a week and have tried to dance around the living room a lot ! I have only...

hi all just wanted to let you all know of a new product line called as above, they are a line of noodles, rice and spaghetti which are really low carbs etc.. I’ve had the noodles tonight and very good....these originally featured on Dragons Den https://www.barenakedfoods.co.uk/

Hello all, this is my first week on this site. I was diagnosed ten years ago with Type 2 and promptly put my head in the sand, telling the doc I would lose weight and sort it. So here we are. I have lost weight (but not enough) and my blood sugar rose to the giddy heights of 20.2 in the morning...

Hi I was diagnosed as Type 2 over ten years ago and then promptly dismissed it (I know, I know) ...funnily enough it didn't go away. I had tried to manage it 'by diet' this was utter rubbish. I would go low carb for a while and then plunge face down into a tub of Haagen Daas when I was fed up. I...

I always hear everyone talking about the Burgen loaf as being the goto bread , I would wish to introduce a new loaf slightly lower in carbs and lower in kcals, and it's nowhere near as expensive, it's the the Hovis Nimble Wholemeal and I would say the hovis is a slightly bigger peice of...

Hi everybody peeps :):) We are encouraged to eat oily fish, some I don't like much, some are ok, but I do like Tuna. I wonder does anyone here know which type of Tuna is best, Yellowfin, Bluefin, Skipjack or any other kinds I might not have heard of yet. Does it matter, what kind..?:rolleyes:
