It's an emotive headline in the all member email. Is that planted there purely to raise attention? There is no corresponding article in the email and by a search I can find no such article. What is this all about?

For me, there is almost a perfect correlation between HbA1c and body mass. My lowest weight gave the lowest HbA1c and my highest weight gave the highest HbA1c. Everything in between follows the same pattern. Are your experiences the same?

I agree with exercising caution. But by sharing information in a adult way you may be able to help someone else or yourself. For instance, a number of my colleagues have secured excellent jobs through sharing information on LinkedIn. This particular board would be far less useful to all of us if...

For clarification, I was just analysing the carb. Of course, I eat other things.

I have wondered recently whether I needed to be more guarded about the HF in LCHF. I have over come a weight plateau by reducing my fat intake (mainly cheese and salad dressings) and increasing my carbohydrate. Hence I'm approaching 110 g a day of carb with an associated 600 kcals. Now I'm...

I bought some Seca 760 scales a couple of years ago: described as "... precision and quality assured ... exceptional accuracy ...". The digital floor scales in the diabetic nurses' room add several kilograms to the Seca reading. I checked against the 50p per go local pharmacy scales today and...

In today's email advert there 170 meters left. Not many packages sold then.

Thank you. I will have a look around for a better offer. And select a company that guarantee a free meter. Good luck to the 175 who got theirs.

The scheme is worth looking at but "double glazing" style selling undermines all confidence. Email of a few days ago says they only have free 175 meters left. Presumably, they have none left today. Do competitors offer similar scheme without the crude marketing?

All in all I am down from 106kg to 77.5kg. I hit a plateau at 85kg for a year. I took the HF in LCHF too literally. Now I have decreased the fat and upward adjusted the carb to 100g a day.

The tap water where I live close to Coventry smells strongly of chlorine. Bottled water is £1.06 in a five litre bottle. I much prefer that.

I use lemon juice every day in my lunchtime salad dressing. I add a small amount of olive oil.

After diagnosis two year ago, I had the equivalent letter. A year letter the letter came back that I was free of retinopathy. However, I get a far more thorough consultation from visiting my optometrist where no eye drops are needed for the examination.

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2014/Mar/pensioner-sends-type-2-diabetes-into-remission-with-12-minute-workouts-91295470.html The article suggests that John Hall's diabetes went into remission solely because he engaged into two 12 minute aerobic workouts per week. His dietary changes and five...

Horses with metabolic syndrome need huge quantities of Metformin.

I have been doing LCHF for a long time, but with increased exercise (for 800 kcal swims a week) my weight has increased. I think that the problem is that I fixed the carb too low and upped my fat. With experimentation I have fixed my carb intake at 100g per day and my weight has fallen...

I too have the nodules and palmar facia thickening but no contracture. The diagnosis from one consultant is cairoarthopathy whilst another suggests osteoarthritis. After many years of pain in both hands, at last I have considerable relief brought about by: (1) hand exercises (taught by the...

Did we not used to have a feature where a poster could view his/her own messages? I have lost the feature.

My optometrist (Susan Bowers in Coventry) tells me that eye drops are only necessary when older instrumentation is used. I can therefore have the necessary tests without drops. This means having a free NHS eye test and paying £15 extra for the photography and consultation. That saves having...

A poster in an earlier thread suggests, "reaching its peak in about an hour and lasting about 4 to 5 hours". Upon searching Google (metformin +"short acting"), I cannot find any confirmation of this suggested definition. Any ideas, please?
