I normally eat with my parents every weekend, normally a dinner and a supper. For the normal diet, I eat normally, but I try to avoid some foods. I don't eat at all sugar, honey, jam(*), sugary drinks (but I drink coca cola light and similar sodas), industrially made sweets, white chocolat and...

Yes, I use metformin an I tolerate it. The higher order problem is that there is this nurse that despite the negative effects of the treatment doesn't try to change it. The solution is to search a more capable nurse that could actually listen to the patients' problem an change the therapy...

Cure or treatment, seems to me that is a lexical question question. If you aren't following your GP advice on medication and don't tell him and nothing changes, the problem, in general, and not only for diabetes, is that wrong conclusions could be made and this could cause other wrong and not...

The metformin is really cheap, actually. Test strip are quite costly. One test strip is 1 €, 1 g (my daily dose) of metformin is 0,6 €...

I think you should define "normal". If normal is eat a sausage pizza, a pint of beer and a Pastiera, i don't know. If "normal" is following a diet made by a dietician of the health centre, with a 45-55% carb intake, 25% fat and 25% proteins, yeah, one could achieve an hba1c under 6.

Only one a bit of advice: if you aren't taking the medicine your doctor has given you, is important to tell him (or her) possibly explaining why. If the GP gives you a cure and the cure doesn't work because you are doing something different, she could decide to change the cure or that her...

Hello to all, I think I've a problem because after a successful period of weight loss I started to slowly ad steadily gain weight again. I think that sometimes I'm self sabotaging my diet, going to, say, buy ice cream and then instead of stopping the thing, I'll continue to eat something other...

I've found that LIDL sells some that haven't an oily taste. http://www.matt.it/en/products/omega+3+fish+oil_15681.aspx

I think this could cause some problems if we ever cross our paths. As exercise I walk to work an to buy groceries instead of take the bus or the car or using the push bike. The result is that my walking speed is slowly rising and now is became a bit faster than the average. Saying excuse me...

I'm sorry, but as you could guess, English isn't my native language. I still have some problems when writing or talking about complex subjects. Anyway I absolutely agree to stop here.

I'm suggesting that eating disorders are in the most part psycological, psychiatrical or neurologic problem that should be treated as such. For instance bulimia is a symtptom of depression, so giving some Prozac and comportamental theraphy will cure the depression and this in turn will cure the...

And by the way the eating disorders are illinesses too http://www.dsm5.org/documents/eating%20disorders%20fact%20sheet.pdf so it should be cured too. Of course I don't expect that someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder could understand and emphathize with other people with behavioural...

Another small thing is that, except for highly refined or particularly simple foods the calorie intake is an estimate, and also the calorie absorbption. 100 g of oil are 900 kCal, easy, but 100 g of peanuts are really 650 kCal? One cup of Spaghetti with butter and parmesan is really 500 kCal ...

High carb intake cause hig glucose levels that trigger high insulin production, high insulin production causes a low glucose level, that cause appetites. If one eats carb, it will cause a BG spike and so on, the net result in healthy people is overeating. So cutting carbs for fats that aren't...

I don't know if that also happens with NHS, but what happened to me, and that by the way makes me really angry, is that I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, and simply put on statines and got a general advice to make more physical activity, and try do lose weight. No information both from...

I've watched the programme. It seemed to me tat the basic idea was to show some gory medical procedure and then that was backtracket to talk about diabetes. No mention of retinophathy, autonomic neuropathy, increase stroke an hearh failures. They had talked for brief moments of the problems of...

Exactly: because people are different, it's reasonable that the same diet doesn't work equally on all the people. If a classic low calories diet doesn't work maybe it's useful to try something different. Anywas, as I've read somewhere seem that the basic advice on all diet is EAT MORE VEGETABLES...

I know a lot of oncologist that are also smokers, for what matters

I've watched, having found it on youtube, the programme. It was really interesting. About what you're saying, I think you nailed the point. The self-selection on success stories and the increased awareness on what one eats could make the difference. I am using an app on the smartphone to more or...

MAkes sense that a lot of fats will damp the carbohydrate spikes so I got a low BG reading, but makes also sense that it's an overshoot of high carb intake. Anyway to be on the safe side today I ate some mixed salad with olives and olive oil and 150 g of Maasdam cheese. Look ma! (almost) no carbs!
