    Need help about bad foot cramping, or pain?

    Mine aren't cramps, and it's not diabetic pain (the burning, needle like pain. Not a sharp pain, and not a normal ache, but I would describe it more like a severe sort of ache that raises me up out of bed. I have taken mag citrate or glycinate that totally stopped any cramps I had in my feet...

    Diabetes Burnout.

    I have a new doctor I can hopefully "train" ;) I recently moved back to where I was raised Oregon, and so much good about being here. I isolated myself too long from others with T2, glad to be here. I just hope this time I remember what it's like to be without folks that understand because...

    Diabetes Burnout.

    I relate to the "mechanical" term, as I've eaten the same foods/meals for near 4 years now. I'm actually back here, finally, since I believe I need more carbs than I've been eating on a stricter keto, with way more protein than fats. The biggest reason I'm here is because I need other T2...

    Need help about bad foot cramping, or pain?

    I came here back when I was first diagnosed with T2 and somehow got more involved elsewhere. It finally dawned on me, after 4 years of low-carb, and doing great, I need to be around with many more folks that understand what it is to be a T2 diabetic. I'm very glad my prayers were answered by...

    Thanks, I still need reading glasses, but the fact I had not problem with the chart you sent, way back in 2021, says they are better or haven't progressed any. I actually was told that when I went back to my eye-doc, after a year. Thank you also for explaining the numbers. My numbers during a...

    It's so good to know so many are familiar with Dr. Unwin, although I'm not surprised! I first saw him on Diet Doctor site which I'm a fan of ;) thank you so much! Denise

    YESSSSSS, exactly, thanks sooooooooo much @Ryhia, can you tell me where to get the whole list maybe without book, or, maybe the cookbook would not be a bad idea at all!! But something I could show others easily like just the charts of foods! This perfect and sure that's the one Dr. Unwin was...

    So @Antje77 if my fasting this a.m. is at 106, I think in UK numbers it's 34 or 5.3? Am I reading your chart right? I'd really like to try and do that anytime I do my numbers so UK folks know where I'm at ;)

    I may have missed something in my profile area, and I don't see a board for tech support so I'll ask you gals. How do I edit my profile, specifically About Me area? I need to change it and add a little to it :) Thanks much, Denise

    Wow that's weird I said I wasn't able to see it that well, I read the post though. Wonder if my eyes are better now?? Same computer glasses, oh well, I can sure see it now ;) I like this chart as well. I don't understand still getting the red flag when I am down at 6.0 on HbA1c's. Maybe...

    I've got that site bookmarked, but I didn't find a chart on foods. Maybe I better take another look ;) Thanks @TriciaWs and I'll use your link, it might take me to what I couldn't find ;)

    back to rejoin the site I first came to when I was diagnosed. I've been on other forums but not specific to T2, only keto/carnivore/low-carb, so good to be back amongst folks that understand T2.

    Thank you @Antje77 , I am pretty sure you gave me that first chart when I came here in '21, so thank you so much. I've been just sticking to the total carbs on labels as I had a couple spikes from doing the net carb thing. I've also got away from processed foods, although it's a lot more...

    ..as I got hooked on another forum to be honest. I've been on Keto for 2 years and 6 months, ever since diagnosed with T2 Diabetes on Jan. 20, 2021. I have never looked back, and follow the low-carb nutrition/keto, and actually lean toward Carnivore. I don't know if I will go that far, but...

    Compare success w/metformin & dietary changes only

    Yes, I doubt I would actually ignore my diet. In fact when I went to the store I bought cauliflower, especially to make an alternative to mashed potatoes I hadn't tried yet ;) I like Dr. Fung as well. I listen to Ben Bikman on Insulin Resistance, and the Diet Doctors videos as well. It's...
