    Who eats processed foods?

    I wonder if the flour was processed differently back then, as many ate pies and pudding homemade, yet diabetes was rare. Although they did not have a variety of foods as they do now. When I was a child I did not know anybody who ate pasta, rice couscous, or sweet potato. When I was first...

    Intermittent 24 hour fasts. Started a few days ago.

    May I ask for some advice? Why is it that when I fast my BL's are higher than when 2 hours after eating? As soon as I eat my levels come down. My levels are acceptable but have you any advice. As I am not always hungry to eat lunch.

    BG better at 4.4 or 4.8?

    I know many people who eat Chorizo on Keto, yet it has Dextrose in Glucose, and Syrup. I think that would affect my BSL's. Good job that I don't like it

    BG better at 4.4 or 4.8?

    Yes, have been for nearly 2 years. When I saw that one of the ingredients was Glucose, that probably contributed to my BL's jump. I thought that it would be a good meal as load of fat on, but Glucose grrr I find if I eater later my morning bloods are lower than if I eat to early

    BG better at 4.4 or 4.8?

    I have not had breakfast in 30 odd years even then it was erratic, I am never hungry in the mornings bulkbiker. I have my coffee and that's it. I quite often skip lunch and do not eat until 8pm at night. This may sound silly but the later I eat, the better my blood glucose is on waking up first...

    Cholesterol levels high

    I saw the news also. I find the studies completely unreliable. They were saying that some people were not taking them every day and that some doctors were not giving the right dose. "No Sh Sherlock" If people do not take them every day or docs are giving the wrong dose, then, of course, they...
