My Balance arrived today & of course I looked right through to see how the leading diabetes charity responded to the diabetes & weight issue that hit ALL the headlines two weeks ago. I mean the reports issued by the Public Health Collaboration & the National Obesity Forum. See www.phcuk.org...

Medinova are asking on facebook for volunteers to participate in a "clinical study" (aka drugs trial) to "fight against diabetes." As I am concerned to help diabetes patients by educating the health pros about the benefits of LCHF lifestyle against the HCLF diet promoted by DUK & NHS, I got in...

I have good reason not to trust HbA1c as a guide to my control: 7-8 years diabetic T2 I was suffering crippling peripheral neuropathy, & various other problems. HbA1c was 6.8 (50.8) which Dr did not consider the cause of the problems - basically diabetes is a progressive condition, & my...

Many of you will remember Hana,with encouragement for diabetes control from her LCHF diet & 8000 posts. I had the pleasure of meeting her on 3 occasions, near her home in Reading, at research project meeting & the Hounslow Cardio/Diabetes support group. We have spoken on the phone from time to...

My facebook page gets this news quite often: This just in. Researchers from Newcastle University in England finally found a permanent Diabetes Type 2 cure. Thousands of people got cured already in the US. Hopefully this will put an end to Diabetes worldwide too. I decided to post my experience...

I sent the poll results for these poll results to the local administrator. We call on Diabetes UK to recognise the LCHF diet alongside the HCLF diet. and If you have used statins, did you experience significant side effects from using them? He printed them for issue to the meeting last night...

When my Balance landed on the door mat I looked quickly through to find the interview with Trudi Deakin. I must have missed it. The nearest thing to a comment is on p. 45 about the BMJ article questioning the sat fat advice, & Balance rejects it: "More recent, rigorous scientific research...

The author of the X-PERT course, Trudi Deakin, has just brought out a new book :

I was paying a rare visit to the dentist (rare since low carbing) & picked up the SAGA magazine & eagerly read the article "Fit for life - sticking to the FATS." The article challenged the current low fat advice & quoted many health experts. The bottom line is - all the warnings we are force...

I've never had a hypo in 14 years of T2. Today I was working in the garden, & about 2 hours after lunch (pork shoulder steak, onions & courgette, followed by 2 dried apricots) I came in for a cup of tea & check my BG at 4:30 p.m. it was 4.8. I decided to experiment so continued working without...

I had a surprise invitation to the Ealing "Diabetes & Health" meeting in Southall last Saturday. I finished my 3 sets of tennis early, bought a new lawnmower, & got to the meeting. Apart from one of the leaders, I was the only white English person there. On arrival I had a choice, fruit juice...

I was concerned last summer as my BG readings were going up, & HbA1c was 6.7 - highest since I went low carb. Now its 6.45 which agrees with my test meter average - 6.5 (I hate the new HbA1c units 'cos they don't relate to my meter readings. Everything else is both stable & OK, withing NHS...
