Thank you for that link it is really interesting.

I had similar. I developed steroid induced T2. Fortunately it was discovered really early - long story. The diabetes nurse gave me three months to improve my diet and exercise or I would be put on the diabetic register. I discovered an amazing book by Dr David Cavan on Reverse your T2 Diabetes...

I discovered a very good book by Dr David Cavan about how to reverse your T2 diabetes. It explains all about how to check your blood glucose before and 1.5-2 hours after eating and record what you’ve eaten etc which helps you sort out the foods that increase your blood sugars. You’ll probably be...

I know I’m arriving a bit late to the party but during lockdown We have done loads of gardening - bit of a late start because lockdown came in before we had got the seeds etc that we needed. We’ve been taking very long walks every day - fortunately we’ve got lots of isolated walks nearby...

Exactly. I’ve gone right off him, he is overexposed these days bordering on being greedy and there doesn’t seem to be anything he isn’t prepared to write a book or make a TV programme about, usually based on an idea from someone else. As you say he is always that bit behind us in here.

I would buy yourself “Reverse your T2 Diabetes” Dr David Cavan and a blood sugar meter and do exactly what he says in the book to work out what sort of foods raise your blood sugar - pretty sure you will discover it’s carbs! Once you’ve done that you know what food’s are good for you and...

I’m offended at your final comment - I most definitely wasn't trying to derail the thread - I was just pointing out the link between thyroid and cholesterol especially as she has thyroid problems as well as high cholesterol. ThyroidUK consider euthyroid to be around 1 - and yes, I do private...

Interesting that you mention thyroid you also have thyroid problems. When I had Graves’ disease back in 2012, my cholesterol was incredibly low. Stopped treatment in 2013 and since then my TSH and cholesterol have increased. I took statins years ago but felt really ill, couldn’t walk etc so I...

If you’ve got a blood sugar meter then test before and 1.5-2 hours after your porridge and see what your blood sugar is like, if it’s ok then that’s good but if it’s high I’d ditch the porridge. Its very sad but I find anything containing any sort of grain - plus the usual culprits - makes my...

Well, that’s a cheery thought for the day

I stopped using simvastatin when after taking them for about two weeks I couldn’t walk from the camp site we were staying on to the bus stop across the road - previously we used to walk int town - a brisk half hour. I was also really depressed. This was years ago before statins became given out...

Nothing wrong with keeping her information in a book and if the poster wants to use a quill and blotter why not? Whatever floats your boat. I could use my iPad or even my phone but I designed and printed off a pile of A4 horizontal spreadsheet based on blood sugar levels before and after each...

We live in a small market town and so far people are still really good about it. People of all ages cross the road when they see others coming and keep the distance - around here now that there is more traffic and people are used to the roads being very quiet they are more likely to get hit by a...

Thank you

Thank you, I’m blaming the rice crispies too. The oxtail sounds interesting!
