Having been diagnosed in November 16 with pre-diabetes I was super keen to try and reverse my diabetes like "the ones on the internet" had done. First step done, lost more than 10 kilos, controlling my BG reasonably well with low carb diet, but I still don't feel "cured"? So after a bit...

Might be a bit nerdy, but as a book lover I just loved this old cooking book from 1917. It's definitely worth a look. Find out how to make milk from cream and which food NOT to eat if you have diabetes, this was way before insulin!! The first genetically engineered, synthetic “human” insulin...

I'm now on a BMI of 20 and if I go much lower I'll be pretty skinny (and wrinkly). Is it advisable to...

Has anyone had any success with using spices to lower blood sugar? After going thru lots of information I've started on Curcumin tablets (Turmeric). I'm not really a person that usually believes in these things, but after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes I really would like to reverse it. I'm...

Hi, Just got diagnosed with pre-diabetes in November 2016. I've always been slim, but gained a bit of weight over the last couple of years because of age? and a desk job. I'm 50 now and after being diagnosed googled for advice what to do. Basically I cut out most carbs, all white flour...
