Sweden always insists on blood testing regularly. In that way it’s very good here. In UK they are trying to save money. You can’t possibly keep an eye on your diabetes without testing. It’s impossible and unrealistic. Everyone is different and has different reactions. Metabolism is harder and...

Crazy! Several doctors have agreed with me on the B12 and tested and found without supplementation, B12 is too low. Neuropathy gets very bad without B12 if I don’t supplement and energy too. I’m amazed! Now my doctors recommend B12. Get another doctor! You’s sounds bad.

Check your B12.

Ask the doctor to check your B12 levels. B12 really cuts out neuropathy for me. I’m more than 17 years diabetic. Good glucose control is vital.

Look online for The Glucose Goddess and her books. Beetroot is a huge no no. Tons of sugar. Oats are good depending on how ‘rustic’ and unprocessed they are. Buy oats that take a LONG time to cook. Eat only dark chocolate. It has antioxidants in. It will keep you awake though! Fats are very...

It is very very well documented that Metformin depletes B12, and even iron and calcium. Supplementation with calcium is not recommended unless the doctor recommends to do so. It’s complicated. Supplementing with iron would probably only matter if you are vegetarian or vegan. B12 supplementation...

Mineral water…or when desperate, Coke Light (I know it makes you hungry and not good for me, so it’s not often)..but have alcohol once a year only…It’s Sooooooo boring! But it doesn’t go well with meds and actually IS a poison so I avoid it at all costs 99.5%

Hi LaoDan, I tested about 20 mins after. It didn’t go lower than 10 It rarely does. But still the HBA1C is 5.2 or the time before last was 5.6. If it was high, exercise would bring it down, but now it doesn’t seem to at all. I’ve walked all day as I’m on vacation. My weight is 66 kilo’s. I Same...

Hi ALL, I’ve been Type 2 for like seventeen years. Only on Metformin. Now at 70 I’m not finding it working as well. The doc added another med although he’s not very unhappy with my HBA1C. Last one was done two weeks ago. It was 5.2. I want my numbers to be better. My daily morning numbers are...

Hi, My life is becoming somewhat of a hell. Iv’e been doing High fat Low Carb for a while now and very successfully. Metformin is getting less useful now. Iv’e been on it a long time. My bloods are fine, but I now have a gallbladder problem. I used to be vegetarian..now I have a diet which is...

Hi Ziggy, That advice sounds wrong. When I was diagnosed in Sweden they gave me a blood monitor and made me test five times a day, so I could see the changes and also so I could learn what the different foods do to my body..each having a different effect. I was diagnosed at 18 (old numbers)...

Its called Konyaku. Its the latest thing around town. But I,m with the other person who said noodled vegetables are a better option. At least you know whats on your plate. I wouldnt eat food from Japan although I believe the actual source will be China rather than Japan, though its a vegetable...

I have to say that I have don't almost the exact same thing and gone from 87 kilo's down to 63.7 My blood glucose went to 39 and Metformin to just two a day from six after about twelve years of T2. I think what you are talking about when you say you want a 'balanced diet' is to be honest, carb...

My family have done and are doing LCHF. Food is making us fat. Carbs definitely... carbs are the enemy NOT fat..HOWEVER...one must eat the right fat. Ecological olive oil for raw food and Oilseed Rape (Rapeseed) for cooking. We eat Greek yoghurt, some cheeses sometimes. Not every day. The crux...

Do you drink any drinks with Aspartame in ir? Like Diet Coke or in fact most other low sugar or zero cal foods or drinks? Even some medications with sweeteners have it. I ask because that stuff is really evil. After a few cans of that stuff you will if susceptible, get all sorts of stabbing and...
