It is a scary period but be assured that within 2-3 weeks your vision will be back to where it was .My vision went blurred overnight some 2x weeks after I was diagnosed . We often forget that we are ,or should be, responsible for our own health and well being. I took 120ng Gliclazcide twice...

Nicole as you say..there is no such thing as a 'healthy wholegrain ' product. They are all processed food as apposed to whole unadulterated food and they contain all sorts of unhealthy ingredients that have no health benefits whatsoever. .Because they are processed they have little useful...

well seeing as you raised this query let me ask you a question. Have you got any medical or scientific evidence to refute my statement ? i would like to know your reasoning on this. If you eat a main meal in the evening then sit and watch TV for a few hours before going to bed....when do you...

the reason that your BG level rises through the night is because that is when your body does most of its food digestion and the resultant glucose is released into the blood stream and Liver . That is perfectly normal for everyone not just T2 Diabetics. If you want to reduce the effects of this...

I think its important to point out that the link that you provided Dietdoctor.com is a Weight Loss website ......there is nothing relevant to appropriate Nutrition for T2 Diabetics :) in fact the whole diet plan is full of Carbohydrates which will send blood sugar rocketing . This is just...

I respect your right as a Moderator to censor my post although respectfully disagree with both your opinion and dietary advice in respect of type 2 Diabetes . This forum is full of misguided opinion and factual errors and with a 30 year legacy of the wrong dietary information that has caused...

sorry Alan but I must disagree with your diet recommendations...they are a recipe for raising blood glucose levels . Fruits may be healthy for many but they contain large amounts of fructose (sugar). As for grains..... for someone newly diagnosed with T2 and taking Metformin.... all grains...

It would be good to see a followup post I hope that you have been getting sensible nutritional advice to reverse your CAC risk score. For future reference cutting back on Fats like butter and cheese etc is completely the wrong diet to follow for reducing risk of cardio vascular disease and...

sounds like you're well on the way to a new lifestyle of healthy nutrition Fuggs. From what i understand of Jason Fungs explanation and the observations and test done by Dr Fox it seems the key to reversing T2D is to remove the fat in the liver and pancreas so that they both start to function...

you never really know what advice to trust as everything on the net seems so feasible. These 'experts' quote various studies and research results but you are often left wondering how all these so called experts can hold such differing views ? I've had a huge amount of amalgam fillings in my...

Thats a tough lifestyle change Derry . Well done for getting your BS levels down so low .I'm not sure I could eat so little as my whole life has revolved around food and eating. I comfort eat too which doesn't help. My experience of fasting or dieting has been its really difficult for me to...

thanks for all your suggstions Fuggs I'm always reading and researching my various ailments particularly since I was diagnosed 2x years ago . Since commencing my current Vit & Mineral supplementation I no longer suffer any joint aches fortunately . I refused to take the Metformin the D Nurse...

I've just watched the same Fung video about T2D & fasting and I was totally blown away by his completely different paradyme to what I had previously accepted from all the other medical and scientific sources. That one video has suddenly given me a totally different perspective, explanation and...
