The spikes last for a very short time perhaps about half an hour.All starch carbohydrates cause it .But I know that the coffee I have in the morning is a big contributing factor to these spikes .Have been cutting down.I still have some stomach fat to lose even after 30 kg which adds to the...

Have read the article.And shared it previously to another diabetic fb page it was severely disliked.So the test we rely upon is no good?

I've been getting spikes up to 11./12 sometimes daily but my hba1c is 5.4 can't really understand that but my blood sugars are not within the safe limit.Bit scared now.

Scary

I eat whatever I want at the moment not too much though.I don't have strips at the moment but I hope 3 metformin a day and lots of walking is keeping it controlled.Low carb is the way to go though.

I'm starting to think I'm also an idiot.But I've realized I'm actually very intelligent it's just that I do stupid things ,not good when it comes to diabetes.

My kidneys are also feeling the stain too now from metformin .I probably could get by with a lower dose . There is a new metformin that I hear is on trial works only in the gut where metformin does most of the work but nobody seems to know about it.

Quite an article and nicely written/compiled

But metformin kills cancer stem cells does it not?

Oh thanks personally I don't like the Sulph.......... meds but with the info I've seen here on fasting and drastic calorie restriction I feel confident I have a chance now to keep off further meds. This info was not available 10 years ago sadly.

Interesting indeed.Problem is how thin do you have to get to move fat from these organs.

I try not to go higher than 1500 on metformin .What is Gliclazide does it also work as an appetite suppressant. Is it like glp1 Some posts say metformin doesn't do much so I don't know now

I'm beginning to think eating is unhealthy and expensive.lol

Found this to be so interesting,perhaps it's easier said than done.Or perhaps we going to cure ourselves (at last). Had the flu didn't eat for 24 hours experienced many of the benefits mentioned.

Before I was diagnosed I was soo hungry I could and did eat 3 pies ,day,and HALF A LOAF of white bread a night.So no wonder

I noticed on a FB page I commented on that someone had remarked that they were much more sensitive to caffeine since being on metformin.Could be on to something?

Interesting and Thank you.

Interesting with regard to myself I will never know if my reading is from weight loss or metformin. Hba1c before metformin 6.7./ 6 months later 6.8.on metformin 25 /30 kg lighter 5.4 / 5.5. 10 years later.Doc said insulin in 10 years so I'm ok still on metformin only Changing my diet was one of...

Thanks for the additional info. Trying to get my hb1 to 3.7 or 4 from 5.4 to Bersteins recommended levels so I'm pleased I will not necessarily increase my mortality risk.

I can't believe what I have heard from Dr Bernstein on this video. Explains why the Accord study was fiddled and that having a 20 % chance of increased mortality from tighter blood sugar control is not true. Been really worried about this study as mentioned in my previous post from Dr Jason Fung...
