@Bluetit1802 @bulkbiker Thanks for those lists of readings. Lots of finger pricking there, every 15 minutes for 3 to 4 hours. Bluetit1802 your two hour after lunch looks very normal.

@Lydiagoodman93 LOTS of good advice in this debate . As a type 2 I am a bit out of this argument but I did enjoy watching Dr Troy Stapleton on youtube as he described his own situation ; one of the posters below says the LCHF can cause hypos, but ...well look at Dr Troy and get professional...

@Bluetit1802 Hi - how did your OGTT come out ? Do you have the numbers, for what one hour, two hours , three? info welcome , as you seem to be similar to me, type 2 in remission;very interesting to see your results as you did not carb up.

@Zilsniggy hello I am not thinking in terms of sensitivity as such. I am imagining, after seeing the Kraft type V curve of flat insulin response, that the lack of insulin is a result of no carb stimulus. The system rests. Hyperinsulinaemia is no more . Then suddenly carbs come along , when...

Thank you @Mr_Pot you have put the problem very succinctly. Whether to do LCHF and occasional carb splurges and sugar spikes or to to go 'normal diet ' and have generally higher blood sugars with a ' normal ' diet and fewer spikes or less severe spikes when carb indulging

Has anyone expertise on this please? I read that LCHF diet can cause some type 2 persons to react to a Kraft style insulin test with a very low insulin response, type V curve, mimicking the type 1 diabetic response. Is it that the low carb diet puts the insulin response to sleep, and then if...

Thanks Rachox that was clever ! Lovely graph, helps to clear the confusions

Hi Winnie 53 you can google more info quite easily, The IFCC is the one commonly used in UK and is considered the new way to quote it. DCCT is in percentage. The way to report HbA1c was standardised throughout the world, there are ' hundreds 'of different ways to measure it - so...

HI Moderator CDUKMOD @Rachox Wonder if this tag will reach Rachox....too. Anway I did get the low carb programme to work now. Thanks.. But the nice little chart still is not there - i got a bit further into the pages , found several charts but not the good one . It was showing HbA1c in...

Hi Nexus6 same thing happened to me when I could not get a proper breakfast and had to eat custard and strawberry tarts and coffee. Got a startling high reading 2 hours later. See the Kraft insulin curves which show that LCHF can lower the insulin and cause a flat type V curve which mimics...

HI Onnecar / Rachox I can't get to log in either, and some searches indicate it is gone, or not free anymore... whatever ..I am referring to the 10 week tutorial which I found very helpful, though it would not always load for me. NOW it is gone ? I don't know how to tag so I am sending...

Hello Beadygirl - I discovered this before I read your post - try it with crisp raw cabbage leaves . The ones which have a slightly peppery taste - no idea what to call them but they are round , ie in the shape of a ball, and coloured pale green.A little sturdier than lettuce so you can...

WOULD SOMEBODY on this page PLEASE use units and not just numbers? OLD units and NEW units is just too vague...thanks

HI ALDEBARAN You are so lucky, my GP was ACTIVELY obstructive and did not want me to do the Newcastle diet and the Diabetes Nurse gave me a load of old rubbish about eating lots of carbs. I fixed myself IN SPITE OF THEM and then one year later the GP admitted IF SHE had my problem...

JARED : You dont say how tall you are. Do your BMI equation, find your ideal weight . Put it in pounds. Multiply by 10 this is your BASIC calorie need [ done by the dummies method - reasonably accurate ] then for office work multipl by 1.3 for active life by 1.4 for heavy exercise by...

I AGREE ! I started NOVEMBER 2016 with the Prof Roy Taylor ' cure - reversal ' , was low FBS by end of December, then continued with Low Carb, and occasional Keto, now also fasting. Great never felt better. Sometimes grind my teeth when I think of the lousy treatment [ ie no help ] from...

I like raw cabbage leaves, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, fried bacon [ gone cold ] packet of ham, coconut oil for drinking, etc Nuts. salt and pepper.

Hello Freema . My FBG was 109 mg/dL [ = 6.05 mmol/L ] after a night's sleep and no breakfast , i.e. a fast of 18 hours. Then after gym, at a fasted time of 23 hours it was 144 = [ 8 mmol/L ] . How can this be ? I read somewhere that exercise should make your blood sugar go down, or is that...

I guess this is similar to German pickled cabbage , or Sauerkraut, available in tins or jars...
