Hi Andcol Thanks for putting in the units, very helpful ,... too many posters leave that out

Try Youtube Freedom from Diabetes Prof Taylor 2017 at least potatoes are mentioned here as 3/4 or 75% of your previous intake. Elsewhere he describes eating ' two thirds of your previous intake ' after losing the 15 kg or 15% of body weight .. In Freedom he mentions eating cake , go...

I do not take metformin. But I researched it as my stepdaughter needed it. I understand that most Drs recommend TOO MUCH TOO QUICKLY. i.e The side effects can be avoided or minimised by going on to the drug SLOWLY. I read that perhaps a quarter of the recommended dose, then gradually...

Hi tannith - I read that sweet potatoes are less likely to raise blood sugar, and Dr Mosley recommends boiling ordinary potatoes then putting them in the fridge, so they too become less hyperglycaemic o genic [ if that's the correct word ] I think you then eat them cold !

@Tannith It can be 15 kg or 15 % or more ? - you can go down to the bottom of the BMI ''normal '' range, [ 20-25 ] so go to about 20 ? Some people such as SE Asians who are skinny to start with could possible go below 20.

Hello Fleegle, Thank you for reminding me about the graphs of average insulin production - I missed that first time. I have now revisited the lecture he gave on you tube i.e [ Low calorie diet for Type 2 diabetes research lecture | #DPC16 | ] and I had not absorbed some parts of it. Too much...

BBC news Radio 4 announced this week that Prof Roy Taylor's approach has been vindicated by the results of the latest trial DIRECT [ Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial ] . Perhaps now more NHS GP's will be aware and co operative.

Hello ! I was diagnosed type 2 in Oct.2016, HbA1c of 48.... I did the low calorie Newcastle diet, and got my morning FBS levels down to normal in less than a month. Then I went on with Low Carb Hi Fat . I took it to extremes as you mention. Unfortunately constipation became...

HELLO I was told no meter necessary as they '' didn't want me '' to alarm myself. I was pretty well alarmed at the prospects of diabetic secondary problems and no help from the dr...just a bland sort of kiss - off and get used to it and see you next time...although I ASKED about doing ND...

Hello Tannith. I did 600 to 800 cals per day on ordinary food, simply by cutting out most fast carbs, filling up on boiled vegetables and omelettes . Lots of water, diet coke, black tea and coffee..Sometimes cheated and went up to 1,000 calories for the day... Did the whole 8 weeks, {I think...

That is very well put . NHS advice , and even one website with a name very similar to this one, give advice to eat lots of starches and carbs and pay no attention to what is going on. Ten minutes research on the web, oh alright maybe an hour or two, would educate them to the value of...

Hi - sunset ? You must be somewhere in the Med ? Perhaps Spain or Greece or points East... It's dark where I am and it is raining !

I found a site called diet and fitness today and they quote the glycaemic load of chickpeas as very low, around 2 to 6 . I think the carbs converting to glucose doesn't matter as long as it happens slowly ? I try to eat low carb less than 100 gram a day , sometimes only 30 grams...

Something I ate the night or day before ? Wish I knew . I have been busy busy busy trying to research my type 2 condition. This whole business of insulin resistance is driving me nuts trying to understand it. Then the info on the web can sometimes be very frustrating. Trying to do a simple...

Hi Rachox - I believe chick peas have a very low glycaemic load.

Hi Bluetit your story sounds just like mine. The problem is the experimentation . In my case after too many drinks I might raid the fridge and scoff the kids sweets and biscuits...Otherwise no problem. Oh --sometimes high morning readings are a puzzle. Dawn Phenomenon ?

I did the Newcastle Diet re Prof Roy Taylor. Googled Guardian newspaper uk, Richard Doughty type 2 reversed and there , with a little help from the video posted by Carlos Cervantes was my starting point. Then on Butter makes your Pants Fall Off I found , under ' U turn type 2 diabetes '...

I understand that it is advisable to cut down on heavy exercise when on an 800 calorie diet, perhaps because the loss of muscle tissue [along with the fat ] might mean a strain on the heart muscle. That being said, very fat persons on 800 calories will actually be living on more...

No the chains they use are more sophisticated - subtle temptations, selling rubbishy carb foods with '' health '' labels, using politics and so on to get meal appeal to the masses. Keep the pharma status quo happily making big money. Avoiding the boat being rocked by the possibility...

At least TWO doctors, one a Professor one a surgeon, have run foul of the POLITICS and have been hounded for recommending LCHF. So the problem is still out there and growling away.
