I'm 74 & have taken metf (3x500 mg) for about 10 years, with no problems, either perceived or blood test. Low BG hypos are not likely with metf, & treatment with metf does not affect car insurance or problems with the DVLA. I am on a low carb, high fat diet & play tennis for 2-3 hours without...

Try 2/1 mixed before you cook it. Ratio doesn't matter

Students have got to do research on something, & publication is far more important than any significance of the research. Thanks Phoenix. Those papers (I haven't & won't look at) indicate that students do research to support an idea. The problem is, of course, that isolating a single food type...

I buy it regularly & add it to by oat-free porridge - made also with ground almonds & coconut flour. I also add to the mix for my low carb unsweetened cake.

I suggest the best solution is to increase the fat & protein in your diet - a few d-spoons of ground almonds with your cereal - or, better, instead of it should be much better for you. Or have bacon & egg. The problem is that cereals & carbs in general are digested quickly, so you get a rapid...

Metabolic Effects of the Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diets: Misunderstood "Villains" of Human Metabolism A 2004 report that indicates the safety - even benefits of a VLC diet. Why are "they" still warning us of the potential dangers.

Comments Doug, do you live in the real world? A world where infrequent HbA1c is the authoritative guide to the PROGRESS of our progressive disease, & where the info, aka DUK leaflets, encourages a high starchy carb diet & warns against low carb. Your postings here show very good reasons why I...

Thanks, Fergus. Doug, it's NOT about ME. If it were, I would not bother to waste my time here. After all, I'm all right, Jack! My experience is not unique. Have you looked at the questions newcomers ask & read the advice given by Daisy? That is real info that they can work on. This thread...

Why then do DUK & the NHS only recommend one diet - for everybody, not just diabetics? And how would YOU advise newly diagnosed T2Ds? And how do they know what works for them when the HPs don't advise self monitoring? And how useful is research that concludes: "the diet that works is the...

From that report that considers a range of diets: Now, please use your imagination: you're newly diagnosed, you've been warned of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes - heart disease, stroke, amputation, blindness, kidney failure .... & you are panicking. "I've got the disease that will...

I met a man in Tescos when I was buying my double cream. I remarked on the "Weight Watchers" offering - low fat cream! * Now there's an oxymoron. He said he was looking for the real double cream, & was also a diabetic controlling his condition with low carb. I add cream to my almond...

That study concludes: I have commented on that report already. How do we implement that advice? We have a chronic condition that usually progresses slowly, over a matter of years, so personal experiments, even comparing the NHS/DUK, Mediterranean & LCHF diets could take a minimum of 3 years...

Yorksman - your genetic postings are off-topic. I have suggested to the mods that you start a new thread.

D No. The main finding that Sid brought to the attention of the Forum was that: oug, Osidge, I wish we had introduced ourselves at the research group meeting we attended in March. The only report I have seen since was my own, & your comments on my email. I agree that diet research...

Sorry Mo, but the initial post made a scary point that cause some low-carbers to question the long-term safety of their diet. That study was not concerned with diabetics. My posts were specifically concerned with diabetics, including quotations from major & recent studies by Diabetes UK. While...

Re: How & why scientific reports are published My comments in blue.

How & why scientific reports are published This is citation 116 in the "Evidence-based nutrition guidelines " cited above. Influence of Fat and Carbohydrate Proportions on the Metabolic Profile in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Meta-Analysis This show the total inadequacy of "low carb" as a...

How & why scientific reports are published I hope you are all familiar with these DUK on-line publications: Low-carbohydrate diets for people with Type 2 diabetes - March 2011 Evidence-based nutrition guidelines for the prevention and management of diabetes - May 2011 These are hopefully: 8...

How & why scientific reports are published As a former professional consultant scientist, a further comment is necessary, with a different slant. I've looked at a lot of reports related to this forum & written a few in my working life - most not published as they were for internal company...

The OP report does not consider low carb diet in relation to diabetes, where "we" have found considerable benefit in terms of BG control. Further, the assumption is the a low carb diet is high protein. The fat in the diet was not assessed. My diet is low carb, high fat. My protein consumption...
