Just a bit of Googling ... such as this http://www.life-enhancement.com/magazin ... -metformin ... might lead us to believe that Berberine is the medicinal compound most efficacious in every case". It appears to be the single medicine that addresses every known issue.

The research is funded by the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation (representing almonds, Brazils, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts), and the Peanut Institute ... The study feeds the groups on nuts or muffins or both...

Through reading a lot of press articles over the years, I came to the conclusion that taking a 70 mg daily aspirin was on the balance of risks a good idea. The pharmacist at Sainsbury in Coventry, however, bluntly refused to sell me any. I then picked up four packets of 28 aspirins two metres...

The accuracy of these meter is questionable. I tested SD Codefree vs Contour XT with the same blood sample at the same second at random times of day: SD vs XT 9.2 vs 7.4 6.1 vs 5.4 5.8 vs 5.1 6.3 vs 4.8 6.1 vs 5.3 7.9 vs 6.5 7.7 vs 5.8 7.6 vs 6.7 The Contour always reads at least 0.7 lower...

Oh dear, the socialists here are spitting venom today.

I always have a large good quality salad for lunch with plenty of salad dressing which I made make before work each day. For comparison purposes, a Sainsbury 220g salad bowl contains: Iceberg Lettuce; Romaine Lettuce; Cherry Tomatoes; Creamy Chive Dressing (16%); Cucumber; Radish; Salad...

Processed carbs come with lots of fat. Fatless carbs are quite nasty: baked potatoe without butter. pasta with no sauce, rice on its own, cereal without milk. When you reduce carbs, you reduce fat also. I presume that a low carb diet also reduces the absolute amount of fat intake. But over...

I never have naughty things EXCEPT that I do miss fruit, and I am inclined to eat a few grams too many.

I generally allow 10 g of carb for salad lunch and 10 g of carb for either salad or vegetables for dinner. A Sainsbury Sweet and Crispy Salad Bowl with dressing (by way of example, although I make my own) amounts to large bowl of salad for lunch. Carbs 3.9 * 2.2 = 8.58 grams. Calories 124 *...

At diagonoses, six times a night was common. After one year, I am getting through whole nights regularly if sleep is undisturbed. I just thought that it was a man-thing and never complemplated diabetes. I now drink huge quantities of water but can still make it through the night. When I...

Thank you, Vicki, that's what I needed. Now I just need to pour 240 ml of water into an vessel to know how big a cup is. I'll do this this evening.

From Fatsecret: 1 cup of blueberries contains 21g of carb On the other hand, 100 g of blueberries contains about about 15 g of carb Presumably, a cup measures volume. How big is a cup? For instance is a plastic glass of the size dispensed by a drinks machine bigger or smaller than a cup...

I am a coffee-geek. I drink a double espresso for breakfast and usually two (and sometimes three) further double espressos during the day. I know from regular readings that it has no effect on my blood sugar as a Type 2. I also drink a lot of water and no alcohol, no fruit juice and no other...

Animals also benefit from drugs, often after they have been tested on human beings. Horses, for instance, are treated with Metformin and the dose is vast compared with that of human beings. 35 tablets Metformin tablets a day is not unheard of for a large horse.

Fine if we dismiss all medical advances that have been made through animal testing. The alternative is either human testing or no life testing. Should animal testing be disallowed by law, then society would have to accept that drug companies may not be negligent in releasing drugs onto the...

One thing I have noticed is that the Codefree strips meter at higher values with greater air exposer. The longer the pot is kept (and repeatedly opened and closed) the greater the exposure to air. I took five strips from an opened pot and five strips from a new pot (both from the same...

Long before my diabetes diagnosis in January 2012, I had used the Atkins diet and my diet was generally low-carbish. But critically, I had a taste for orange juice which I returned to from time to time. I could easily drink a litre carton in one go. I agree now that the juice drinking was a...

I entered hundreds of CodeFree readings over nine months into a spreadsheet accompanied by footnotes concerning diet and exercise. I can now fairly accurately predit a reading at any time of day having regard for that that I have eaten and exercise that I have taken. The variability is quite...

For me, Metformin had the opposite effect and I had to take Sena alongside the 500g Metformin for two weeks. Thereafter, I had no problem even with four times increased usage. I cannot see that a GP's prescribing of Metformin can be negligent given that it is a well proven drug and the side...

I think I max out on 70g of carbs a day. Breakfast: with slice of Burgen >>> 12g Lunch: large salad everyday >>> 10g (A Sainsbury Large Salad Bowl including 220g by way of example is measured at less than 10g of carb) Dinner: with vegetables or large salad >>> 10g Medium apple >>> 20g Bowl...
