    Statins vs. Oddbins

    Most of us are probably aware of the significantly increased risks of coronary heart disease which come for free along with the diagnosis of diabetes. Almost entirely due to the increased blood sugar and insulin levels in all liklihood, but a lucrative business if you're a statin manufacturer of...

    You poor gullible fools! Another crank selling another fad diet to reduce insulin? We need more insulin if we're to eat all our healthy carbs after all! I'm going to send for a dietician to talk some sense into you. fergus

    What 3 courses would be the best to choose?

    what should be happening??

    Hi Rich, Well, that's breakfast cereals for you! It's taken you from a perfect blood glucose level to a very harmful one in under 2 hours. Way to go, Kellogg's! I think your bg level came right down after your run as a result of the excercise which 'wakes up' the insulin receptors on the...
