Hi, I have registered here previously. I followed a low-carb way of eating about 10 years ago with amazing success, shedding loads of weight and changing my body shape and my health.
Since then, I kind of lost it all really and last year was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I was put on horrible medication (Gliclazide) that made me feel terrible and then (Metformin) which really upset my whole digestive system.
I am now meds free and have essentially reversed my diabetes, with this I have completely forgotten that I even had diabetes, and the last week I have felt so awful and Ill, and I just thought I would measure my bloods and SHOCK HORROR they are incredibly high.
So basically I need just to remain a low carb eater, it's not hard, and it makes me feel great it's just easier sometimes not to when your whole family are mad on bread, potatoes and pasta. I am just going to be different and I am going to love it, I had a fab breakfast of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, roast chicken and lettuce for lunch with a sour cream and black pepper dip. Massive homemade burger, eggs and brocolli for dinner. I love low carbing, it's here to stay.
Just in one day, my blood sugar has halved. And already I feel better.
Thanks for this forum, about time I invested my time here, and got to know people, shared tips and picked tips up.
:D
