    Protein / supplements

    all your usual supplements should be fine but check your pre workout and your protein powder for added sugar. get the lowest carb count you can when taking said supplements. There is protein out there that is 2g carb per 40g protein or thereabouts.

    Cycle to work raising sugars

    I'm unsure to be honest however a fair guess would be that it stimulates a small insulin response that drives down the sugar that is elevated by cortisol. cortisol is released during exercise. either way it definitely works for me and many others. By the way it does not necessarily have to be...

    "A Single Cheeseburger Can Trigger Changes In Body Linked To Diabetes"

    These types of nonsense do not bother me. They are almost exclusively in the context of someone who is not fat adapted and always come with a **** load of carbs. Completely irrelevant to me. People are starting to realise that its carbs that are the problem and what we are witnessing with these...

    Interval weight training could prevent type 2 diabetes complications

    This did initially happen to me. however I found that eating 6 or 7 almonds before training pretty much eradicated the spike. Then, over the next few months my ability to control my sugars greatly improved and my fasting sugars dropped significantly from 6.4 daily to 5s this did take over 6...

    Type 2 Diet?

    What he may not know is that if the metformin does not work because he is eating to many carbs the doctor will have no alternative but to put him on other medications that by law he will have to declare to dvlc and his vehicle insurance. Then he will have to test before every single journey and...

    Living with non-diabetics

    I would listen carefully to this complaint as it can start to build significant resentment. There is no reason why your partner cannot eat whatever she chooses to eat. In fact once your partner has raised this you would do well to sit with her and have a very detailed discussion that should...

    Surprising result

    The work involved in these types of numbers should never be underestimated. I actually have to spend a little bit of time researching each week to keep myself motivated. also the delicious food and the IF also help.

    Effects of excess glucose on neurone pathways in the brain.

    Are you hypothesising that raised blood sugar within the brain is similar to being stoned or more serious aspects of nitrogen narcosis? I need a bit more such as are we talking normal glucose levels elevated levels or lower levels?

    Prediabetes Can anyone help or advise?

    Try adding a large handfull of almonds and wallnuts to a protein shake in the morning. also add some full fat yogurt possibly greek or greekstyle yoghurt. This calorie dense meal should stop the weight loss. Try it a couple of times a day until you are happy the weight loss is under control and...

    Accidental double dose of Metformin

    I wouldn't worry as metformin doesn't actually lower blood sugar that much. as long as your kidneys and liver are in reasonable nick I wouldn't worry.

    NHS diabetes prevention program - worth it?

    It depends. If my TV were broke and all the pubs where shut and none of my bikes needed cleaning and the cat litter tray had been done and I had run out of needles to stick in my eyes then yes I would go.

This is my favourite meal by a country mile even though I eat crackslaw, curries, stews and all the low carb delights you can think of. Edit..I sling the egg on...

    Under 20g of carbs a day????

    Surely that assumes you replace carbs with protein...I've always eaten around a 100g protein even before diabetes. I've replaced the carbs with healthy fats.
