2024 is the year to change
I’ve been overweight for most of my life. I was bullied because of it at school and have always felt out of place and self conscious. I have type two diabetes and hope that losing weight will help me. I want to lose 33 pounds. My aim is to achieve this by the end of June.

Prof Tim Noakes and low carb diet benefits
I hope it's ok to attach a link to this Q&A session - it's clarified a lot for me and low carb is how I reduced my blood sugar when I was in the pre-diabetic range. He also explains that diabetes is a more serious disease than people believe. I found it very interesting. https://www.facebook.com/thenoakesfoundation

My surgery are doing Blood tests to check for for diabetes, possibly because l am elderly, at 87. My results showed that l did not have diabetes but that l was pre-diabetic. I was rather surprised because l have never been overweight and have a reasonably healthy diet. However l was curious to see if

Graves Disease
Hi, I have type 2 diabetes, I was over-prescribed metformin which had its horrors. When I came off it I was quickly diagnosed with thyroxicosis and hypercalcemia. Saw the endocrinologist yesterday. |He sat there and said do you know what you have wrong with you, then he told me I had Graves disease

Since my last post regarding elevated finger prick sample for cholesterol, I am now in receipt of my formal blood test results for lipid profile which are borderline and need to speak to Doctor. I do have a GP follow up next week to discuss these but wondered if anyone on here can interpret them and

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Polyunsaturated fats v saturated fats
I am so confused! I read on another site polyunsaturated fats are bad for people with hypothyroidism and saturated fats are recommended. I tend to follow the Mediterranean way of eating more for heart health and keep slim. This includes oily fish , avocados and nuts which are PUFAs. My GP wanted me

Low blood sugar
Has anyone been experiencing blood sugar crashes at times. Recently I have been having low blood sugar attacks mostly at around 5.00 when I am doing my afternoon dog walk. It results in most hypo symptoms and a blood test showed my blood sugar down to 3.6 mml. I told the rheumatologist during my telephone
