Are you able to state the method you are doing, including sets and reps. Does your glucose go to your normal levels later on. Is this more Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, dumbbells or machines. Are you lifting for strength, hypotrophy or both. The more info you can give, such as sets the...

Happy for your up tick. The MD method promotes the previous vegan diet - WFPB (Whole Food Plant Based). Personally I don't like this, but respect it for being real food. From what I recall the meals are relatively small, I once referred to them as a starters (but I do eat a significant...

Walking is both accessible and has the added bonus that if you do this after meals you'll lower the insulin required to clear glucose and have lower overall glucose rises, win win. As you heal resistance exercise can be incorporated.

I have focused on resistance training, as muscle is a glucose sync. Like many things in the management of Type 2, there are differing views. Below is the last 2 months of random glucose, my bench press and deadlift. Whichever modality, I would find my comfortable max then train most weeks...

Many have found blueberries, strawberries, raspberries & blackberries work well, I do 80 - 100 grams most days of these. I have found that apples for example increased my postprandial numbers by 0.7 mmol. Bananas I would suggest are a disaster zone for most people, even non-diabetics rise to...

I get four pack beetroot from either Waitrose or Morrisons. I use half with a meal. I do not do garlic so much now, due to the smell and having good numbers, but "we" cook with garlic often. I did notice I am sensitive to coffee, including decaf. I like natural remedies, if this is for you...

I asked him if I could post his video. I think this is great as a fun elevator pitch for what to expect and how to do it.

Up front I will say that I do not believe a Vegan diet is nutritionally optimal. Some have stated the mastering diabetes method "works", which is a world food plant based diet , with fasting and exercise. When pictures have been posted on this site of the meals, they are of the size that is...

I have an eye condition (mild bilateral corneal arcus) that requires cholesterol to be lowered if I want to reverse it. Here's a summary of what I have done using oats: At 50 grams of oats, my A1c has increased by 2 points, so I have halved this and will be testing again in a few months. In...

That looks like it would taste nice. I would not eat it as for me it is not clean enough "flavourings" I recall from a documentary can be anything, and there are ingredients ending in ose (sugar), let alone starch. Like others I make my own treats. The below is 99% dark chocolate (the whole...

This thread is the only one to bring tears to my eyes. I had the privilege of meeting GG at the All Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes in London a few years back. She was one of those people you couldn't fault and leaves a whole too big to fill, she just had a way about her. I recall...

50 grams of porridge likely will raise your blood glucose by circa 3-4 mmol/L, if you are not doing any preparation with this and reducing the potential spike; I know this as I have been doing an experiment for around 4-5 months which I will share later today. 50 grams equates to circa 7...

If you get remission of Type 2 consider removing the drug. Your liver if working correctly will do the job by itself.

And you believe the number. All of this is the context of the nonsense around staying out of the sun, splashing on sun screen and taking a pill. I would prefer adequate natural dosing of sun exposure, focusing on foods with vitamin d and topping up as needed. Metastudies drive me nuts, as...

My point stands, the average Josephine or Jo takes for example the WHO / IARC claim that eating 50 grams of bacon will increase the risk of colon cancer by 18% to mean a real 18 more cases per 100 - simply put that is a lie, there is no other word for it. Additionally one has to accept the...
