I drink Coors in the pub if its there. However I find any lagers or spirits lower my blood sugar anyway. If I go out I drink upwards of 8 pints of lager. The morning after my fbs is usually less than 5. If I have not had a drink its about 5.5. I would not however advocate getting hammered to...

It seems to me that the biggest threat to this planet is overpopulation. With that in mind the first port of call for anyone who is concerned about their footprint is to not have children. Comments such as 'pretty obvious that there are not resources for 7.7 billion people to eat keto' do not...

About 4 years for me. the 1st year I was Ketogenic now im low carb dipping in and out of ketosis.

I was diagnosed around 2007 and put on Metformin. I have no idea of my numbers and to be honest did nothing regarding lifestyle or diet and continued as normal. The information I was given was minimal and i'm sure the usual low fat drivel. I found it impossible to control my BS with the...

So 4 years since this journey started i'm starting to relax my attitude to testing. I guess i'm moving on with my life. :-) I now do a random test (1 or 2) per month just to ensure my bloods are stable. I live a low carb life but its important to relax the mind as the journey can be very...

As already stated this can be the last number to fall. Mine took about 12 months to come down to normal levels.

You need to be asking your GP what your Cholesterol is currently at i.e HDL and LDL you then need to read all you can on Cholesterol and statins. I ditched my statins years ago as I was not convinced they brought anything to the table and the whole cholesterol thing seems a bit on nonsense. It...

Where do you get the information that Aspartame is banned in the USA?

hmm. Been type 2 for about 9 or 10 years now and never had a flu jab. Ill take my chances as I have not had flu for about 30 years or more. Just seems like another big pharma seeing diabetics as a cash cow.

I don't measure micros anymore but probably no more than 70g of carbs a day. so lo carb for me.

Whilst paying attention to the above regarding diet coke a good drink for the the thirsty drinker is kalimotxo. served in a very large glass with lots of lime and ice....gives a good buzz from the caffeine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalimotxo

Farron is a God fearing homophobe and corbyn is weak....options are dire for this election.

Yes, following the LCHF diet. Results in my signature. I suppose I am on one metformin so technically some might argue it is not reversed however I take the metformin to stay young and beautiful when I stopped the metformin there was no difference to my BS control.

I would go with the whey protein but also add a good quality peanut butter. Have them as a shake maybe twice a day and eat plenty of nuts as a snack. Ditch the banana unless your blood sugar will allow for it.

When I first started keto in June 15 I monitored everything closely and used to eat between 100g to 140g of fat. TBH I found it hard work. I now only measure carbs but guestimate my fat intake to be in the region of 80g. Unlike some on here my cholesterol starts to rise if I go over 100g and...
