Hi I am so sorry for your trouble,and for your daughter. It must have been a heck of a shock for an 11 year old girl to suddenly find she is a type 1 diabetic. It sounds like she is dealing with it by depression, as denial is part of that. For a start , if she'd read this whole page...

@masonap Hi timbo_dolman I agree with masonap your diet is terrible . Search the web for low carb advice. You can make low carb bread. Drink only water , coffee, tea. Fruit? be very careful, you can look up the carb content on the USDA food central websites , get a blood meter , experiment ...

@Rachox There is experimental evidence that sucralose raises blood insulin. Not sure about the other sweeteners. I was very disappointed to read that, as I have recently been eating sugar free sweets and e.g ***** bears, which can treat constipation of low carb diet by causing diarrhoea as the...

@Buzzer81 my monitor is Accuchek Active, simple with no bells or whistles - I don't like the fancy programmable types

Hi Buzzer81 I know how you feel. My GP was not interested in ' reversing ' my type 2 db so I went ahead myself using the Prof Roy Taylor Newcastle diet and then low carb , self learned from the internet and the books of Dr Mosley, and low carb down under on youtube. When I asked about a blood...

Some people have one leg shorter than the other. Tailors know this, as it throws the shoulders out of line , for which they compensate by using padding in expensive suits. It is usually almost impossible to notice, check your shoe heels and you will see one is worn more than the other, or...

Dear Brunneria, Was grateful to find your link to a question about insulin resistance, in another forum, where you quoted this link https://www.docmuscles.com/does-long-term-ketosis-cause-insulin-resistance/ Nice reassuring article. But now on this forum page you mention thriva and I can't...

THIS is a super presentation. It is hard to find any criticism of Metformin, but this does the job . The risks are explained clearly and the benefits put into perspective . When my GP talked about medications and I talked about putting the db into remission, this video came to my rescue...

Hi how about full thick cream, straight from the fridge ? Or from the freezer ' ice ' cream ! simple

Hi - @Bumpsywife_ I do the same with veggies. In boiling water for a minute or two, as I read that you have to blanche them, then pack in individual portions in the freezer, ready to be hauled out and microwaved. Easy.

Hi @Bumpsywife somehow my reply did not register the @ thing. Search about for my suggestion cheers

Hi @Bumpsywife_ Sorry to hear you can't / don't cook. Try bacon and eggs, simple boiled veggies [ use a microwave ] lots of good fats and oils . If you want to enjoy a little cooking try the headbangers recipe for low carb bread. A few simple ingredients, and 90 seconds in the microwave ...

Hello. If you are lucky your high street optician will also do the retinal scan and examine your eyes carefully . I have had a high street optician who has a visiting ophthalmic surgeon , and you then get a very thorough exam , with contact or puff testing for glaucoma pressure changes. You pay...

Hello @Brunneria I am glad I found this post. I should have found it 2 + years ago. Having reversed my type 2 db in Dec. 2016 with the Newcastle Prof Taylor diet and later with LCHF, I became depressed at my later tests, with higher than expected Fasting Blood Sugars. Recent low HbA1c...

NO they don't. Tried to stop me doing the Newcastle ' cure ' Did it anyway. Sent me to the DB nurse who tried to put me on statins. One year later the GP was very embarrassed , explained she thought I had done the right thing, would have done the same herself if diagnosed as type 2, but...

Ketones ? Are you type 1 or type 2 ? You may be concerned if you are having a ketoacidosis crisis e.g "Ketoacidosis is a severe malfunction of the body, with excessive and unregulated production of ketones. This leads to symptoms like nausea, vomiting and stomach pain followed by confusion...

Hi again richm13 I had no support from my GP. But on my own research , asking people, seeing reviews on line, I came up with a popular meter and am reasonably happy with it. They can all be wildy inaccurate - I am told- but my choice was Accuchek. Not expensive. Post prandial readings at two...
