I need some reassurance, please
I am convinced by the science, but worried in case I turn out to be a "special case". The back ground is that I have lost a stone and 3in off my waist since January, by eating my own version of extra veg, reduced carbs, and full fat, natural, everything (and haven't eaten sugar for years). At the

Lowering carbs
I've been reading a lot about LCHF and keto and there are some interesting ideas there. I'm a bit too old and set in my ways for a complete dietary change involving giving up all of my favourite foods. But I wonder if there are any relatively easy changes one can make to lower carbs without going all

Some notes on Mannitol
There has been much discussion about Teva levothyroxine in the UK and Levothyrox (formerly Euthyrox) in France and other countries - where it appears that the mannitol ingredient could be the cause of issues. I found a few papers about mannitol and thought that they could be of some interest. There

Does heat increase blood glucose levels?
This is my first summer since being diagnosed. Since diagnosis I have been on low carb and have lost a lot of weight. As a result most days my readings are in the region of 5.5. Today I have eaten the same food as in previous months but my bg has gone up to 9.1. I have been drinking a lot of water

Newbie post - unexplained prediabetes.
For over two years I have had prediabetic HbA1c test results, creeping upwards from 43mmol/mol in a routine test in May 2018 to 47 at the last test (just before lockdown in March). 48 will indicate diabetes. After the first test result I bought a blood glucose monitor and, whilst, thoroughly researching

Anyone not following LCHF
Is it just me? It is clear that not everyone on this site is following the same diet; there are maintainers and there are dieters following different guidelines to maintain or lose weight. Yet, I am left with the feeling that if I do not support and adhere to a LCHF diet, then I am …. I am not quite

TSH is rising
Hello-increased my dose of levo to 125mg during lockdown after Endo said TSH fine at 0.72. but symptoms had worsened. Didn’t accept that I am a poor convertor. Just had TSH repeated by new Endo (refused to repeat T3 and T4 blood test) and despite the increase in levo my TSH has increased to just over

Thought provoking blog about keto diets.....
Before you read the following ..... please note that I am only sharing this content because I thought it was 'interesting' albeit controversial....

Should Coeliac UK be shut down?
This is a contentious question, but it needs asking. From a lot of posts on here, and personal experience, it seems that Coeliac UK are not very upfront about the fact that 'gluten free' foods carrying their mark of approval or listed on their food list are actually making/keeping people with coeliac

SUPPLEMENTS
Ok I'm on low carb eating and have lost 12lb which I'm very proud of. I was advised to take powdered collagen to guard against loss of hair, Biotin for hair and nails plus electrolytes which apparently we lose with the loss of fluid. Has anyone encountered these supplements. Is there anything I should

Interesting article about the effects of fasting.
https://nationalpost.com/health/fasting-for-three-days-renews-entire-immune-system-protects-cancer-patients-remarkable-new-study-finds I came across this article regarding fasting. It sounds too good to be true, but... I am inclined to go ahead and give it a try. Perhaps closer to my next CBC check,

Quesadilla + LCHF Friendly
If anyone fancies trying these there's tonnes of recipes online. Veg ones, meat ones, vegan ones, keto and LCHF ones. They're delicious and can be really nutritious. Here's the recipe we love but I'm sure there's nicer options - https://youtu.be/h7F_6Uwhm6c And a recipe for making Keto and LCHF tortillas

Please help - hypo/hashimoto's symptoms and potentially worrying blood tests, but GP not interested
Hello everyone, I have had long term symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto's, I think, and there is also a family history of it on my mother's side. I also had some tests 4 years ago which flagged an 'enlarged thyroid gland' but no action was suggested. Unfortunately the GP kept dismissing
