Hi all, I am having my first annual review on Monday. A12 down from 118 on diagnosis to 48 in April. Hoping for a further drop tomorrow. generally I think I’m doing ok. Much better diet, more exercise, etc. my question is what do you all drink? i‘ve dropped sugar from my coffee and still enjoy...

Is there somewhere on here that I can see that research?

What do you count as a vegetable oil? I subscribe to the personal fat threshold theory that Roy Taylor(I think), has written about. That seems to work for most cases whether they are in a first, second, or third world country. I should add I’m only a year into my journey so I really don’t know...

Hi, has anyone come across Brenda Davis and her research? she has a few books. I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what she has to say. cheers Nick

I totally agree. I don’t have diabetes in my family at all. I think my fat threshold was pretty low And my lifestyle didn’t help. I didn’t realise my diet was so bad until I looked back at what I used to eat. Enjoy your Yorkers.

The most interesting research I have read recently is the “personal fat threshold” theory. Probably not that new any more, but it was new to me. This says that everyone has a point where they can no longer store fat subcutaneously ans at that point fat beings to be stored in the organs, most...

Good morning everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Following my diagnosis just under a year ago, I have changed my diet to a much healthier one. I am not specifically aiming at low carb, but cutting out the rice, pasta, potatos, etc has meant a much reduced carb load. I have gradually...

Morning All, I’m seeing lots of adverts for bamboo socks that help with neuropathy. My initial reaction is that they won,t, but has anyone tried them or anything like them? My second Q is regarding CGM’s. I’d like to try one for about a week to see how various things, food, exercise, stress...

Hi, I am fairly new to this lark as well. I’ve been sifting through the diet minefield. The other respondents have far more experience than me, but I have found a few Podcasts that have helped me massively. If you have the time and inclination have a listen to any or all of these. They are...

Thank you. I'm just trying to decide which meter to go for. So much choice.

Hi, I have read so much since being diagnosed I think I am finally getting to grips with things. I'm struggling however to find out about ketones regarding diet and diabetes. On the one hand I've read that ketones in the blood is a bad thing, ( and I beleive how they determine that you are T1 or...

It's ok, sussed it.

I forgot to ask, what is IF?

HBA1c 115. I eat hardly anything processed, unles you count sausages and bacon. Pretty much everything from scratch. Learning more low carb recipes. I have been eating a lot of pulses, legumes and vegetables. Trying to stick to above ground, but have had beetroot, carrots, etc. I love cheese so...

Hi Kenny, Thanks for the reply, great Blog. Really useful. Yes, type 2. Bloods were very high. I don't test yet. I want to get on the right track before I start as I am a worrier! Diet was generally bad, very high in rubbish carbs. I have cut out as much as I can. Not keto, but pretty low carb...
