    Type 1 & snacks at work

    I don't know UK Health and Safety in the workplace law as I am in NZ. But I suspect that it would be useful to ask your manager to imagine a scenario by asking a "what if" question. What if I pass out behind the bar counter in a hypo coma because the bar was really busy and I had no...

    Is there ever a time that cravings completely disappear

    I think it's very useful to notice when cravings for sweet or starchy food occur and don't occur. For instance hardly ever happen after a really good dinner with plenty of fatty meat and vegetables. Often happen when sleep deprived or stressed over days. Happen when fail to make good meals...

    I just had a phone call...

    Great thread. Needs a new title to summarise what it's about, so more people read how Chook dealt with this challenge. Big congrats to Chook for a great win teaching her practice that low carbing can reverse T2. You are an effective influencer! Don't be too hard on the doctors and nurses. It's...

    Why isn't hyperinsulinemia talked about more

    I agree with everything you say here. Ted Naiman is excellent too despite his eccentric and informal communication style. I have been following the strategy you outline to bring BG down and burn fat for 12 months now and had some success, initially with weight loss and latterly with lower...

    Why isn't hyperinsulinemia talked about more

    Great to find a thread with other people who follow the ideas of Joseph Kraft, Jason Fung and Ivor Cummins! I read the Obesity Code 12 months ago. More recently I have discovered Ivor Cummins and Joseph Kraft. For 12 months I have focussed on strategies to lower my insulin levels, but the...

    Does low carbing improve insulin sensitivity?

    Disclaimer: I'm a disciple of Dr Jason Fung's approach to diabetes and insulin resistance ever since reading The Obesity Code in April 2016 after a prediabetes diagnosis. I've been following a LCHF way of eating with some Intermittent Fasting for 12 months. In that time I've gone from 69 kg...
