    UPDATE ON TURMERIC

    Just a suggestion; powdered turmeric ingested is not very well absorbed by the gut. However, the liquid extract, as supplied by some traders, including Healthspan, is highly absorbed, as is turmeric that has been used in cooked dishes. A bit like raw and cooked tomatoes, where the health...

    Confusion within NHS Over The Treatment of Tyoe 2

    Thank you for your help; type two is so very different from type one, and the controversy over this drug is just one issue of many type two sufferers have to wrangle with. Cheers for taking the time to post something constructive.

    Type 2 Insulin Treatment

    Interesting! Thanks for replying. Yes, an old friend of mine told me to report him; but that may cause just more issues I cannot be bothered with.

    Type 2 Insulin Treatment

    Thanks for that, interesting! 400! My doc also said I should be able to live another 10 years plus! Really? Now I have never heard anyone tell me that before; like I intend to hit eighty if I can. Being positive; like the guy who said he would have to be killed first before he died.

    Type 2 Insulin Treatment

    Type 2 Insulin Treatment

    Hi there My doc suggested my pancreas was probably packing up but has offered no further test; this was after he advised me 'that if I was a lawyer the bill would be mounting up!' Or words to that effect! Without smiling. I may need to change docs! Problem is the pressure on doctors is such that...

    Confusion within NHS Over The Treatment of Tyoe 2

    I, politely, do not need your opinion on this issue; the misunderstand was where it appeared that someone was demanding the identity of someone. This has been resolved and the offending posts removed. And no, it is very dangerous to convey too much specific information in today's internet, so...
