    Neem

    Somebody mentioned it in a group and I googled. I thought it was worth a try as I have some. There have been some scientific studies as well but I only scanned them so don't know how valid they are.

    Neem

    I was told about neem for diabetes T2 and have just bought some neem oil for the allotment. All the info I have read is about using the leaves which I can't get but can you somehow use the oil instead?

    Have you been told not to test your blood sugars?

    I've been told not to test and not allowed a meter or strips. I buy my own but then the DN wanted to know my readings. Told her to jog on!

    Which part of the day is best for using my exercise bike?

    This is something that will be different for everybody. For me it is first thing in the morning before food and drink exepting water. I find this kick starts my day and focuses me.

    Just been told to shield

    I agree. I hate the term 'reversed' in relation to diabetes. If it is controlled by a low carb diet it's still there. It's like saying an alcoholic that doesn't drink is no longer an alcoholic.

    Just been told to shield

    I got my email today but I was expecting it. It doesn't just take into account illnesses but also ethnicity and if your are in a deprived area etc. It looks at the whole picture. Mine is because I am type 2 and have a couple of other autoimmune conditions and histamine intolerance. It's done...

    Adjusting macros

    Last time I lost all my weight I was working on: 1500 cals 8% carbs (30g) 21% protein (77g) 71% fat (119g) I lost the weight but lost a lot of muscle tone which I never got back. What are good protein macros for not losing the muscle during weight loss. I am exercising again but have found...

    Victoza v Ozempic

    I was on Victoza when it first came out and I had a really horrible experience with it. Vomiting more like faeces than food and terrible eggy smelly burps continually. I've now been offered Ozempic which has side effects of nausea which I am ok with but wondered if I was going to have the same...

    COVID vaccination

    Covid was seasonally suppressed during the summer the same as the flu is each year. Respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses have a high infection rate during the winter months. It was always going to die down in the warmer weather ?

    COVID vaccination

    I would have been more likely to have taken the vaccine if all the big pharma companies hadn't applied and been granted exemption from COVID-19 Vaccine Liability Claims. So governments are allowing big pharma to rush experimental vaccines, with no legal recourse if something goes terribly...

    Flu vaccination

    I've tried searching for this but nothing came up. Is everybody having their flu vax this year. I'm not sure this time after reading around.

    NHS Shake and Soup Meal Plan Trials

    I am very interested in trying this. 2 years ish ago I lost 6.5 stone slowly and became diet controlled only from insulin. I was really fit but had 3 injuries on the trot and ended up putting it all back on. Someone I knew did the Cambridge Diet at the same time, lost a similar amount and has...

    Type 2 and vulnerable person shopping slots

    I asked because the page I went to only had the option to be extreme risk or not based on questions. If you did not have any of the extreme risk illnesses you were told no and goodbye. The poster suggested there was interaction so that's why I asked. Every question on the forum could be...
