Something about how in the 70's , fat was considered the reason for all ills, heart disease and clogged arteries then we got low fat this, low fat that. Now it's the other swing of the pendulum, It's just for me, this high fat or excess anything doesn't sit well but these are my personal...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6717713/ This article pretty much confirmed what was niggling me about the ketogenic diet.

Didn't know they even existed these pre-made keto foods.Could you name a good one? It's probably because I haven't seen one here in Spain or didn't know what to look out for at the supermarket.

I was wondering if anybody had heard of this company for glucose monitoring ( and much more on metabolic health) with sensors and their app? I found it listening to a podcast on Dr Hyman's site ;the person interviewed is Dr Benjamin Bikman a metabolic research scientist.In that podcast, he talks...

Hi, can I ask something without sounding clueless; how do we know if it's" real" hunger or just some nutrient deficiency? I have a "sweet tooth" always craving something sweet. The other day, I drank something ( healthy-organic tomato juice)after my usual meal and had no sugar craving at all...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697588/ natural eggshell membrane ! I’m going to see if I can find it even though eggshell membranes do have glucosamine and condroitin( minimal amounts, good to know but it’s the only joint pain thing I can find).

Thanks,for your info . I didn't know glucosamine had an adverse reaction for insulin resistance. @Struma All the same if it's not one thing ,it's another( can't take this medication because it interacts with another or it's not suitable for diabetes).

Thanks, that's good to know. Now I'll look up condroitin sulfate to see if that's okay to take. Now just have to find something which would be the same but not adverse to diabetics.

@EllieM I was having the gastrointestinal problems i.e. the "runs" (sorry if TMI)-to use another word-due to another medication, Probably adding sorbitol (a polyol) isn't great https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/carbohydrates-and-diabetes/sugar-sweeteners-and-diabetes...

I was prescribed Carticure which is a spanish product for joints and cartilage. However, I was advised by GP not to take it because it has sorbitol (somehow our discussion didn't say which other similar medication to take). I'm looking for another similar medication but a sweetner (or without)...

2000 ui per day vitamin d3 ( something I read - don’t know if it’s the right amount for everyone).

I skipped everyday for 10 mins for 6 months and lost 3 inches around my hips and my stomach shrank-no calorie deficit so I didn't lose any weight. I was overweight so I took it very easily.Don't overdo out of enthusiasm as you will get shin splints and not want to continue. I did 1 minute skips...

@DCUKMod sorry, which following link? perhaps, I didn't see the link you mentioned. I'm taking a 'flozin

What I meant by fasting is just a night sleep of 8 hrs (I had a snack before sleeping) as I wasn't yet on a specific diet so I don't know if it was ketosis (which means I would've have to have been on lower carbs for a while,yes?) Also to be fair, I wasn't paying much attention to my food at...

I think it did for me. Morning of blood test after a night of fasting, fuzzilly, I had 2 decaffs, my TG’s went way higher. Quite concerned until I read up about it.

Hi I'm a T2 though:Since being diagnosed, I have upped my vitamins exponentially. All the B's (B6 is good for skin) except for niacin.; CoQ10 tablets ( for skin) vitamin C, vitamin D3, collagen(I'm 58) Alpha Lipoic Acid, EPA and DHA (in fish oil-Omegas 3 -are quite good for skin) selenium and...
