    Meal times

    Here's an interesting idea, new to me anyway, although I'm sure others may have have come across it. I do low carb, 20 or 30g per day I would think that includes milk in coffee and my daily fix of peanuts. I also time-control eat by skipping breakfast (apart from a few brews). Lunch at 12-...

    Dr Sten Ekburg on fruits for T2 diabetics

    Here is another really good video By Dr Sten Ekburg (He's a former decathlete by the way!) There is some very encouraging news about some fruits, berries for example, towards the end. Again, none of this is set in stone, but it can be used to help you make up your own minds. One thing is that...

    Dr Michael Eades

    Interesting post this week from Michael Eades. Diet, insulin sensitivity, low carb - all sorts. Well worth a read.

    Dr Sten Ekburg

    Here's a You Tube video about saturated fat and carbs. But I think more than that he offers a good explanation of the effect fat and carbs have on us. I saw a thread about a lady struggling with Metformin and the advice given to try the low carb approach instead. Dr Ekburg is one of the...

    T1 mentioned in Dr Campbell's most recent video

    At around 11 minutes in he summarises T1 in relation to a report published by the Australian TGD (Therapeutic Goods Administration). I'd be interested to confirm or otherwise his summation by savvy T1s on here. It may be an interesting read for you particularly. Whatever, the whole video is...

    Type 3 / Type 3C

    Just a subject for discussion here. I got to thinking after reading and participating another thread. It included the 'seriousness' with which people take our diabetes and food requirements. Here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/eating-out-nightmare.195512/ Basically, pubs /...

    Genuine?

    Is there an inordinate number of our Chinese friends interested in their diabetic wellbeing, or are there rogue elements afoot?

    Dr Tim Spector

    Here's a very interesting interview with Tim Spector about diet, nutrition, exercise etc, etc. Diabetes is mentioned within but he is really advocating a personalised approach to diet / nutrition rather than a one-fits-all regime. Here. It's quite long but interesting.

    The real cost of medicine

    I've consolidated my cynical streak over the past couple of years. Hardened by the shameful management of the 'vaccine' rollout, the truth about which is now beginning to emerge. Actually, the seeds of my cynicism were sown by you guys and gals on here when I started exploring treatment and...

    Indication that low carb / keto may help against cancer too

    Here's an interesting article to add to our knowledge-base. Not definitive of curse, but positive ideas for those of us who follow a low carb / fasting / healthy lifesyle regime

    Erythritol

    Seen some positive reports on Erythritol from a Type 2 perspective. It would be nice to add another dimension to our cooking. Not over the top, just occasionally, to fruit for example.

    Socks again

    I know that some of you don't believe the hype / worth / expense of specific diabetic socks, but........ .... my Mrs bought me 3 pairs a few months ago. They have been really good for me. My feet are a bit 'delicate'. Painful at times, particularly when walking cycling a decent distance. I've...

    The Pharmaceutical Industry

    There's an interesting article here about the power and influence of the drug industry. I follow both this article's protagonists (Dr Kendrick and Dr Aseem Malhotra). They both offer science / experience-based views on conditions and treatments. For me it's important to look at all sides of a...

    Positive MSM Diabetes Article

    Well done Mohammed Do I detect a shift in emphasis? Not long ago an article like this would be 'there is perhaps some evidence that a change of diet MAY help those with T2'. This one, bearing in mind it's mainstream BBC, 'features' a guy who has regained control of his health. There is 'Guarded...

    Insulin, Glucagon, and Gluconeogenesis

    OK, here's a summary of a series of notes Micheal Eades MD has posted over the past few weeks. I'm sure some of the more studious among you will find it interesting. Here's the link. If you can't open it, does anyone know another way to access it? I can copy it to my own website at a push, but...

    Artificial Sweeteners

    Another article! Relevant to diabetics and interesting. The last paragraph recommends what's best but the discussion seems well researched. My biggest problem with artificial sweeteners is the taste!

    Another interesting article

    This one from Sebastian Rushworth. One or two of you don't like him, but I do. He gave a lecture to 70 primary physicians Here's a transcript. It's about whether patients 'should really get the drug'. Diabetes is mentioned. I found it very interesting. And slightly alarming. Though, in some...
