I remember reading this many years ago on the web after the good Doctors and Nurses of the diabetic community told me I should drink Diet Drinks and while I did, I was more depressed than ever, so I quit. It is just nice to see that there is hard evidence which is imo indisputable that has...

The new video about Aspartame and depression. This is very pertinent for diabetic people who suffer with depression. 6 minute video - http://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspartame-and-the-brain/

Hey Bazza, totally know where you are coming from. I've been a Type 1 for 15 years and I want to say its just a phase, but the truth is, it isn't. It comes and goes and depression is the worst part in my opinion. Depression can be cured and popping pills isn't the answer - find other methods - I...

As I said, the choice is yours to improve your own health. The arguement that its all **** is a pathetic argument. EG, my Uncle smokes 100 per day for 30 plus years, no cancer - but it doesn't then mean that smoking doesn't cause cancer, because it does. Everyone is slightly different and...

Pritikin's camp is amazing. I have had friends go there and its changed their life. All they do though, is what we all have the power to do, eat better foods by understanding how the foods affect our bodies. Not listening to heresays and misconstrued facts that are made to make us consume more...

Have a watch of this video - not trying to scare you, just show you the undisputed facts. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-says-eggs-arent-healthy-or-safe/ and this one - showing how the manipulate evidence http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-the-egg-board-designs-misleading-studies/ But as...

I have learnt to experiment. From reading a lot, and especially from this Dr on that website - his videos are amazing - I have learnt what and how the body works. As for more Egg News - even the American Egg Board which is for promotion of eggs can't tell you they are healthy and good for you -...

This is worth reading if you want to improve your health - http://tinyurl.com/p6mrylw Here is a quote "One study found that eating just a single egg a week increased the odds of diabetes by 76%. Two eggs a week doubled the odds, and an egg a day tripled the odds." For people who do have a...

I use Stevia - I would recommend it if you like sweetness But be warned too much and its nasty!

New study here - http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/17/artificial-sweeteners-may-disrupt-bodys-blood-sugar-controls/

Now I have come to the end of my Juice Fasting type experiment and I am pleased to report, that for the past 2 days I have gone back to my normal food and my blood sugars are still remaining lower. I have tried to inject the "normal" amount of insulin into my body but every time I do, I get...

My BMI is 18.5 which puts me on the verge of skinny/normal. BMI is not and is not meant to be perfect, it is used as a quick guide. It is basic maths after all. Anything that requires specific information adds to a lot more complicated formula. Everyone knows how they look in a mirror. You...

I got this from a hospital working with Stem Cells. Anyone with lots of money to spare can always do this, but for me, I don't have the cash laying around. Clinical research has clearly demonstrated that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) implantation brings better control of blood sugar to a...

And most of it comes from paid Doctors and the Pharmaceutical industries. My personal and aging friend in Germany worked on a famous drug that reduced cholesterol most of his life after being transferred from Anti Biotics (which is where the drug originally came from) and he will be the first to...

As it states, bypassing the digestion of the stomach can help benefit people with Type 2. Gastric bypass is way more serious, and I wouldn't recommend that at all. Which is why I am trying to get a balance of both.

I am normally on 50 units - per injection. This is Lantus - probably not what you are on

Phoebe13, yes I know that. But still evidence has shown (debatable by others) that ingesting certain foods can help reduce your insulin which may or may not lead to not having your insulin reduced. I do find it amazing how people all just say things they have read and never tried. Anyway...

Juicing doesn't mean Fruits only. You can get juiced cabbages, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, whatever it is you think your body needs. Green leafed vegetables are great for nutrient intake. How many people here take Vitamins? Vitamins, are destroyed by the stomach acid, so ingesting 1000mg of a...

Yorkman, by using juices, in theory I can cram more of the goodness into my body. Who wants to eat 1 kilo of red cabbage? I certainly don't but I can juice it down 1 glass, then I have no problems with it. Just like different types of medication, you take before food, during food and after...

All I can give you is my blood sugar levels as I take them and describe what I have eaten. I have been insulin dependant since 2002 - so unless my Doctors have been lying to me I am Type 1. Otherwise all these painful injections wouldn't have been necessary. As for other comments about exercise...
