What is LCHF? I am pre-diabetic and like you am trying to find good recipes I can easily make. In fact I have ordered a recipe/fact book for pre and diabetics.

LCHF— Low Carb.-High Fat

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Has your doctor suggested that you go on a low carb high fat diet at your last appointment?

[RoadRunner44 in reply to Activity2004]

She told me about carbs that can make you spike. She said I should be aware of this and to eat as much veg. as I want. Whole fruit is better than fruit juice. As I said earlier, I have ordered a book to help me with my diet. Oh, although I'm not terribly overweight 10 and half stone she said to try and lose up to a stone.

Hi, I am type 2 diabetic on steroids for PMR.

I started on the LCHF diet to help both and at my next diabetic appointment my hba1c was 39 so was taken off my gliclazide. That was 2 years ago and my last one was 35 so I have been in remission for 2 years. Yes it does help with type 2.

LCHF does work for type 2 is hard to maintain but worth it.
