This is a very recent and interesting study on how low-carb affects your insulin secretion, sensitivity and affects your carbohydrate tolerance. Thought would be helpful to understand for those who are on low-carb. Also points out how a high-carb or OGTT test will affect in even non-diabetics...

Hello! I am a type 1 diabetic. My insulin is Novorapid (pens), but I don't like to eat a lot of carbs -- it's not my food pattern. When I was in a hospital, my doctor told me: "Dont eat so many proteins and fats as you used to. You must eat many carbs and use Novorapid". Course, I dont't want...

Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I started a low-carb ala Dr Bernstein diet late 2019. I'm quite slim, I weigh about 57 kg, I exercise occasionally. I've had some proteinuria almost since the time I was diagnosed with type 1 in 2007, though it has usually been kept at bay. My...

When I first made it I told my sister it tasted like wallpaper paste. But I left the loaf sitting on my counter and kept deciding to have another piece with breakfast, dinner etc. I almost threw it away but I am hooked! Up this a.m. and subscribed to the gal that does the video recipe, and...

Hey, newly, unofficially diagnosed here. I'm 16. 5'3", 185 pounds but that's after losing 10 pounds in a span of a month which I suspect is a symptom. A few months ago, I got diagnosed as almost borderline. My doctor said in a few weeks, I might become borderline. Well, it's been 2 months, and...

Does anybody know if there is a strong correlation between the amount of carbohydrate you eat, and the body's tolerance to Metformin Slow-Release? I currently take 2g of Metformin SR per day. I've been on a low-carb program for the last 7 days and I've had severe diarrhoea. I took my sugars...

I want to exercise badly to lose weight and lower HbA1c. But I feel so weak and don’t have energy on low carb diet. Please help!

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...

Hello Everyone I am sat in my office at work and colleagues are munching on biscuits and crisps etc and I was wondering what could be a T2 sufferers go-to snack at work? Having been told I need to get a grip of my BS levels I thought I would ask. Whats your choice? Cheers Bill

Hi! My girlfriend and brother are both T1 diabetics, and I like to cook for them. Something I like doing is giving quite generous portions so they don't feel like they're missing out, but due to carbohydrates that isn't always possible. I want to try a low-carb/carb-free vegetable mash that...

Hi people, I've been thinking a lot about low carb and what goes wrong for me, because it seems, something does go wrong, somewhere. At the moment I eat between 80 and 100 grams of carbs a day, no diabetes medication, no insulin. (The diabetes consultant recommended 125 grams, the dietician...
