I read it could be as effective as metformin in moderation, but I wanted to know if some of you had any experience with it :) My mum is T2 and I think she could benefit from her. She manages her diabetes with diet only, but hey, what is wrong with getting a little help ? Thanks for reading me

Yes, that's what I meant :)

Thank you so much for all of these alternatives ideas !! :) I will definitely give it a try I usually enjoy berries with plain greek yoghurt as a dessert or snack but wanted to eat something different today Anyway my BS was down to 5 mmol/l 2 hours after the porridge, I will still be cautious

No I havent yet, but thanks for your recommendation I will give it a look :)

You're right, I should have taken my BS after the 2 hours mark That's too bad I'll do it the next time ... Should I avoid eating porridge in the morning ?

Thank you for your elaborate reply You're right, I did some more research and figured fructose was a bad idea for the reasons you mentioned ... Yes, my LDL is low but the comment you made about my HDL levels being on the bottom range of normal concerned me, so I upped my fatty fish consumption...

Eating low carb is definitely not cheap ... When my roommate eats tons of pastas and rice, I snack on almonds and macadamias which are way pricier :wideyed:

Hi :) I have been experimenting a bit with alternatives flours and I managed to find a great savory basic loaf recipe using a combination of low carb flours The taste and texture are amazing, even my roommate who is a big carb eater was impressed You will still have to test to see if it doesn't...

Fructose doesn't trigger an insulin response, it's metabolized by the liver https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2714385/ "Fructose stimulates only modest insulin secretion and does not require the presence of insulin to enter cells (2). Avidly taken up by hepatic cells, fructose is...

Indeed, she adopted a strict low carb diet a few months ago and I had no intention to make her consume fructose. I was suggesting it for me I do appreciate making research for her In fact, I found a great basic loaf recipe that I will probably share on this site, you can put anything you want...

Actually my mother is T2, which is why I want to cut the carbs now to delay it as much as possible. When she was diagnosed, she did have a fatty liver and was overweight but she watched her diet and everything is back under control I wanted to try fructose in baking because I eat a very small...

You're welcome :)

You mean it still raises blood sugar ? I thought his regulation was not insulin-dependent and it had little effect on blood sugar
