Everything I read indicates that exercise is a major factor in improving the effects of diabetes as long as you do not put undue pressure on you heart and blood vessels. Do consider participating in the microarray research if the opportunity arises. I found the information from my results...

A pre diabetes diagnosis indicates you have lost around 50% of your beta cells. The diabetes diagnosis indicates the loss of around 80% of them. You will come across quite a lot of discussion relating to the possibility of these cells regenerating themselves. The suggestion is that early...

Heres hoping you are in luck. I have heard it suggested it could be MODY. Is it possible you are? If so this may be of interest http://www.diabetesgenes.org/content/mody-probability-calculator. May you get the news you hope for in 2018.

It could easily be in your lifetime. Already the parts of the genome implicated in monogenic diabetes are being identified and in some cases being treated without insulin injections. Researchers believe they are close enough to a break through in MODY to ask people to consider DNA diagnosis and...

The importance of being able to put a picnic lunch together quickly, which meals I can eat at Wetherspoons and which local restaurants I can recommend.

Anyone with the determination to stick to such a dietary regime has the ability to introduce a lot of lifestyle changes that have the possibility of skewing the results. Insufficient data is available on the "successful" patients. Aspects of % of damaged beta cells, visceral fat, fatty liver...

I am only type 2 so it is not as vital for me but after a very long wait for a blood test I obtained a bracelet I bought for a couple of £ off ebay that just says "Alert type 2 diabetic". I wear it when I have an operation or go to "class" at hospital. It has met with universal approval even...

LCHF increased my cholesterol and at 8.9 I would expect a referral to the lipids clinic to be told I need to lose weight and to get a referral to the dietician. Have you been offered a place on a course such as Desmond? They are useful for background information and to answer your questions. I...

I roll the almond crackers between two pieces of greaseproof. Then remove the top piece before cutting the crackers still attached to the lower piece. I use scissors. I have to remember to remove the greaseproof before eating but the method works fine. On the other hand if I omit the cutting...

Are you already on the ABP forum? My dad was and finds/found it very helpful. He has had no sight for years (also he is not diabetic). I am rather vague as to the who but a quick google bought up this...

I agree. As someone picking and mixing my way through several ailments linked to dietary implications it seems to me that every dietary regime has a huge "does not fit mantra" sized black hole. I am only beginning my nutrition course but the more I learn the more it seems the blame waving finger...

I am type 2, no medication with other ailments so I and many,many other diabetics in the country would like, but cannot get testing equipment unless we self fund. So seriously I do not qualify. Lucky you...... maybe.

Sorry to hear your news. I had been on this forum for some time when I got my arthritis diagnosis and started pain management. I was only on week 1 of stage 1 pm:- paracetamol at that time and got a very negative response from this board. On the other hand I found the arthritis site very...

A friend tells me sesame flour is good and I think it tasted very good in more savoury recipes than the ones you suggest. About half the carbs of flour and not out of the world expensive either but I cannot recall it ever being mentioned on here so I expect the suggestion will be met with a load...
