I think you need to go to thomothebear's virtual pub! According to the thread it's open 24/7! How did someone so dense get that job?!!!!!!l Lol!You have my sympathy, Scandichic. If you think the nurses are bad, wait until you meet the dieticians lol
- do you eat meat?
- no I am vegetarian
- do you eat fish?
- er...no I am vegetarian (Fish are not vegetables. Even my cats know that!)
- you must eat rice.
- why? It has no nutritional value. I would rather eat cauli rice.
- you must eat noodles.
- why? They have no nutritional value. I would rather eat beansprouts.
- you must eat porridge.
- ok. *fingers crossed behind my back*
Just go on you tube and look forNot seen those 2 but OMG am so not mentioning them to hub he will look at me in a way that speaks volumes
l so needed this thread at 06:00 on a cold and wet morning am giggling to myself..sorry but love it l am also an ultra low carber under 30gram a day.
l have simiar discussions with most folks we those who dont know me. Those that do tend to mutter oh thats nice and zip up. l have a reputation for snarling temper unfair really as l am sweet and innocent. l just state my point firmly
Fat Genes read the Grain Brain book to help your IBS.
It is still very few who as seen the LCHF light but the numbers are increasing. Couple of years ago a moderate low-carb high fat diet was approved as suitable for diabetics and thus it is required of DSN to advice this if the patient chooses the low-carb path. How well this works in reality I don't know but I suppose I soon will find out. Kostdoktorn.se is one of the most popular health sites in Sweden and has had quite an impact. As you read Swedish I can recommend ettsotareblod.se too, a sweeter blood in translation for those who are interested but don't understand Swedish. The author, Ann Fernholm, is a molecular biochemist or something like that who left research and turned into a science journalist instead. She does a brilliant job. I am sure people can google translate her blog posts should they be interested in what she has to say.Hej på dej! If it hadn't been for you I wouldn't have found diet doctor. I am on holiday now so intend posting on the Swedish site. My work have even told me that I must leave my teaching room to test and go and stand in the book cupboard adjoining my room to test or our office, leaving my classes unattended which is a disciplinary action. I do not eat grain either. Out of interest, are there not more doctors and nurses in Sweden who are supportive of the LCHF approach - I thought that government advice had changed? Do they refuse to acknowledge the blog? Surely the good doctors credentials must mean something?
I advocate a cattle prod for these annoying people. One with an adjustable voltage depending on the level of irritation you feel. This is probably illegal but everyone can dream right?!
I am new to all this (T2DB)but for the past seven weeks I have been using the balance diet approach. I have been balancing the available insulin in my body and the exercise I do against the carbs I eat, and checking that I my BG monitor shows that my post prandial reading is within the NICE guidelines for non-biabetics.
The SD Codefree monitor can be bought for £12 and the testing strips cost under £14 for 100. This allows 7 tests per day for under a quid. The cost of testing is more than funded by my reduced expenditure on food by cutting out the junk and unnecessary food.

Will do! Sorry to see you getting a hard time in another thread are you really writing a book? Wow! Am guessing that you work in some kind of scientific field?

I don't know if you have ever watched Allie McBeal but she has little fantasies (no not those sort!) where people who annoy her get scooped up and put in a skip. I have much more violent ones. I don't know if you've seen pulp fiction? I refer to the scene with Tim Roth and his girlfriend, sitting in a cafe. They are exchanging romantic endearments, then she stands up, produces a really big gun, and shouts" non of you f::;?!&@ p'&£@'! Move or I'll execute every m?!£()!@ one of you! " I'd love to be able to say this just once but I feel someone might sack me or arrest me! This is why this website has been my sanity and made me laugh so much!
A book on why the current way to diagnose hypothyroidism doesn't work. Since they invented the TSH test Drs have come to believe you can rule out hypothyroidism if the TSH test is "normal" This isn't true. There are hundreds of thousands, mostly women who are told they are depressed, that it is natural to be tired when you are a mum/at a certain age like anything from 27 upwards or that they are stressed or that they have fibromyalgia or ME/CFS and that they should go on statins because their cholesterol is high. They are prescribed one antidepressant after the other, pain killers, are sent to dieticians because they cant shift their weight and their GP thinks they lie about what and how much they eat. Etc, all because the medical community can´t interpret the tests they order.Will do! Sorry to see you getting a hard time in another thread are you really writing a book? Wow!

This is what I love about this site! You meet so many kind(usually!) , interesting people!A book on why the current way to diagnose hypothyroidism doesn't work.

Before I got ill with hypothyroidism I was an archaeologist, now I am a vegetable farmer on the south of Gotland.
Why the Scicilian? Are you of Scicilian extraction? I have Swedish, German, French and A bit of Spanish (if I really have to!) . Once muttered a lot of uncomlimentary remarks in Swedish under my breath in a lesson. Judging from the grin on the islandic kids face who was sitting near me, he understood. Oops. Very careful what I now say! lol.Apologies for indirectly waking up your husband with my foul language, . (the "expletive gif")
I know a lot of Sicilian swear-words, too, if you are in need of variety (or discretion). Always a pleasure to be of assistance.
Hi Annie!I think what we have to remember is that most non diabetics and many many T2's would never have heard of the LCHF diet so we can't really blame them for not understanding about it. As a prediabetic myself I don't do really low carb at the moment except for cutting out the starchy ones and of course sugar. But at least now coming on this forum I do understand about low carb should I ever need to do it
Conversation with diabetic nurse went as follows:
-Aren't rice, potatoes, bread and pasta carbohydrate which turn to sugar in my stomach and then increase the sugar levels in my system? Why, as a diabetic would I want to do that?
-That's why you need to eat slow release carbs.
-Won't that have the same effect?
-No. You will have used all the energy up before it gets into your system.
I think it goes like this
