UPDATE - Repeating the Zoom talk on how steroids cause weight gain and raise blood sugars - and low carb eating - 11am Thurs 3rd April 2025

[tangocharlie]

Update - HOUSE FULL - sorry this is so over-subscribed so we cannot accept any more requests on this occasion

From feedback this was very well received last week so we're going to repeat it. I'm going to be leading a discussion on this hosted by the Yorkshire PMRGCAuk support group and anyone interested in the topic is also welcome to join us, you don't have to be from Yorkshire.

I am going to talk about my experience of losing loads of weight through low-cab eating and getting my blood sugar level down from the diabetic range to 'normal' which amazed all my doctors who thought diabetes meds were the only solution.

[Kendrew]

Thanks TC,I've just sent my email. Really pleased to receive another opportunity.

Thankyou.

🥹😢By April, I believe you will be 6 hours ahead of me again....that will be 5 am for me. But, I'm going to send my email in ...and hope I can get up at that early hour. I would LOVE to hear you and the information you are sharing.💞

[tangocharlie in reply to Grammy80]

Sorry, we may try and do an evening one sometime if you'd rather wait? I hate to snatch you from much needed sweet dreams

[Grammy80 in reply to tangocharlie]

That would be wonderful; then I KNOW I would make it. I'm still going to give the sunrise hour a try but if I don't make it, I'll look forward to the evening option. Thanks!!!💞

[Greenlife in reply to tangocharlie]

I would also appreciate a recorded version to watch as and when I have time. Many thanks for all you do to help and encourage us through this tedious illness.

[Sunburst001]

Thank you - great opportunity. I'm about 11 hours head of the UK (I think) so it will be late evening - with any luck I will be propping my eyes open. Have sent an email. Cheers

[Sweetbriars]

Thank you ! yes please will send my email in

[Sweetbriars]

oh blow I have a long standing appointment I can’t change at that time ! 😞

[Tappo]

Due to work commitments I’m unable to attend this one either. Is there any chance it could be recorded for us and uploaded here so we can access it when we can?

[tangocharlie in reply to Tappo]

The recording went wrong last time but we might have another go

[Tappo in reply to tangocharlie]

Thank you. No worries if not.

[Udupik]

will this diet apply to vegetarians too ?

[tangocharlie in reply to Udupik]

Yes - see books by Rose Elliot eg The vegetarian low-carb diet

[Veltom]

Hi due to my work commitments I won't be able to watch but would be great if it was recorded thanks xx

[Handloomweaver]

I’ve tried to send an email but it doesn’t send. Please send me the link for the talk

[Rugger in reply to Handloomweaver]

Check that you used .org.uk and not .co.uk That has happened for others.

Your email is needed to send the link. 🤞

[Handloomweaver in reply to Rugger]

Thank you, that worked at my end

[Abcd123455]

great news, have requested link x

[AmberGamble]

I can’t make that as I’m out all that day but I’d love to be able to access it at some point!

[AquaZumba]

Annoyingly, I also can't make 3rd April @ 11am as I have a physio review @ Tommy's. I'd love to be able to access another time.

[Firstviolin]

great news thank you. The email worked this time thank you!

[Rowergirl]

I am another one who can’t make that time/date, so yes a recording would be fabulous for those who are interested but unfortunately cannot attend the ‘live’.

[Pickets]

Thank you for this opportunity to join the discussion.

[readingbooks]

I too hope you will have another go at recording it. That would be much appreciated.

[Excelsior80]

thank you, emailed

[Simone6]

I would have liked to join the chat.

[tangocharlie in reply to Simone6]

Sorry! I'm sure we'll do it again sometime

[HeronNS]

I couldn't find a diabetes or diet link in the FAQ section, maybe something food related in there somewhere - I didn't try very hard, but it occurs to me that your account could be a useful addition.

Anything which helps us manage a pred side effect without adding another medication is great!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to HeronNS]

There is some info under Weight Loss…

[Tuffymason]

I am in Canada. Would I be able to participate in some way? Will there be a post on the subject? I am not sure how to do zoom. Callie
