    Help! I'm going to Japan!

    Hi, I have spent a month there and also went to very remote places in the Japanese Alps. It is usually fine, people are VERY willing to help, and usually the young understand at least basic English. When you look at packages, the nutrition info contains the same stuff as in UK. Carbohydrates...

    What to drink outside

    Coffee, tea are fine for me usually. Tea is more for evenings. I don't party much or so but it would be weird to have tea in a club though hahaha. Also I don't mind the occasional diet coke or so, but that seems to be out of the question for you.

    Anyone know what might be up with me?

    Hi, The thing is, what evidence is there that it's related to diabetes? If it is diabetes, gastroparesis would be a good candidate, yes. But it would happen during daytime rather than during the night, since you barely eat anything before you wake up. Other things such as stomach acidity may be...

    Hba1c results

    That's right, there are quite a fair share of stories of people who tackled the problem before it got out of hand! I suggest you read about them, many are available on this forum. All my best wishes, hope you will be able to tame the beast too :)

    I was diagnosed in France so it may be different. Also I'm type 1. Long story short, not the ambulance people, not the nurses would tell me. Usually only a doctor is qualified to give such a news (in France).

    What do you use to 'treat' hypos ?

    I simply drink orange juice. I have a bottle of 50mL or 33mL with me all day, and an empty bottle of exactly 100mL that I use to measure how much sugar I am drinking exactly...

    How to get into low-carb without IR?

    Thank you, this gives me a very new perspective to see things, and it does quite make sense. I did start using advance bolusing, with great results! Also I like to eat the meat and vegs before the carby food, and this really helps killing those nasty spikes.

    How to get into low-carb without IR?

    **** that's a big article, full of big words hahaha. I know some of it as I have done physiology during my BSc, but there are lots of details that are completely unknown to me. Thank you for sharing indeed :) That's interesting. Indeed, I feel it is a strange thing to reduce carb intake to...

    How to get into low-carb without IR?

    To this point that is exactly what I have deduced from my readings. I currently eat about a 100g of carbs per day to avoid this IR again, although this weekend I have been a bit more lazy and skipped a couple meals, and it went on again. My BS this Sunday were terribly bad... I feel a bit...

    How to get into low-carb without IR?

    This may make sense then. I have been increasing my fat intake, but didn't deny carbs enough maybe (since around 50-60 is the lowest I went to) to trigger ketosis. I am guessing triggering ketosis would lift this physiological IR?

    How to get into low-carb without IR?

    Hi, I have been thinking quite a bit about going for a ketosis diet with very low carbs (about 30g/day), however some questions are still in my mind. The last time I went for 50-70g of carbs/day, my body ended up in physiological insulin resistance (IR) which in turn put me to very high BS...

    I used to love kinder buenos... when my sugars have been great for like a week or so I have one instead of my occasional portion of bread for instance :) I agree with the others, everything in moderation is fine. The thing I miss for now is chinese and japanese food as I used to love those. But...
