Hello all, Haven't posted for a couples of days, so my numbers for the last four days were: 4.8, 5.4, 4.9 and 5.3. @ianpspurs and @DJC3 -- Thanks for your kind thoughts on the all-nighters. Just tying up some odds and ends and I'm all caught up. It's all be virtual teaching via Zoom until the...

Hello all, Been a bit busy with work and pulled a couple of all-nighters to get the last of it done. It feels really good not to have to look at this mountain of paper waiting to get done. Yeah! Fbg on Sunday 5.2 and yesterday 4.8.

Hi all, @Oldvatr -- I agree with you -- the ideas of the PFT (pesonal fat threshold) seems to be a tautology (a circular argument) in my mind -- i.e. you will be no longer diabetic when you reach your your personal fat threshold, and the personal threshold is the weight, at which you are no...

Good morning all, 5.2 today. Have a great weekend everyone.

Yes, this happens to me too -- especially when I edit one of my posts more than once or post a picture. Have you seen any correlations with what you are trying to do on the forum?

Hi @Beating-My-Betes, For some people, high carb low fat (HCLF) may well work. My guess would be that it is those who are naturally insulin-sensitive, which would include many T1s. My husband, for example is slim and non-diabetic, eats lots of sugar and other carbs and has no problems...

Good morning, all. 4.7 today. @CotswoldsBloke -- Good luck with your blood tests. Keeping my fingers crossed. @ianpspurs -- Hugs for the allergies.

Hello all, 4.9 yesterday. @Serah Wanjiku -- Welcome to the thread. @nutribolt -- Keeping my fingers crossed you feel better soon and blood sugars will drop back to normal.

Hello all, 4.5 this morning. Have a great day, everyone.

Hello all, Missed posting a couple of days and even forgot to take my fasting blood glucose yesterday. So, 5.2 the day before yesterday and 4.5 today. @Judit@0514 -- Welcome to the thread. @JohnEGreen -- Good fasting numbers, they seem to be coming down nicely. @Ryhia -- I am in awe of your...

Hi @Drfaxan, This is an explanation from Ted Naiman's website: Based on this description, any result under 4.49 is good and anything above it denotes insulin resistance. There are also tons of scientific studies, just google TyG index and insulin resistance. Here is just one of study I...

Hi @Drfaxan, Here in Germany, as a T2 it is almost impossible to get your insulin tested. However, Ted Naiman suggests the triglyceride-glucose index as a good proxy: https://www.burnfatnotsugar.com/TyGIndexCalculator.html . Based on this I'm borderline, sometimes somewhat above the threshold...

Hello all, 4.9 yesterday and 4.9 today. @Hannah96 -- Welcome to the thread. @Pipp and @Providence 62 -- Hugs for the vaccine-induced higher blood glucose. @DJC3 -- Hugs for the unexplained higher fasting levels today.

Good morning all, 4.9 for me today. @luceeloo -- Welcome back and hugs for the UTI. @ianpspurs -- My impression that reaction to protein and how much is too much is highly individual. For me, it seems to be somewhere over 100g per day.

Hello all, 5.1 this morning. @JohnEGreen -- Great to see you back. Been missing you.

Hello all, Fbg 5.2 today after 5.6 yesterday. Still a bit higher than usual for me, but slowly coming down, albeit after quite a bit of exercise and not eating much. Hope the downward trend continues. @hankjam -- Hugs for arrhythmia. @Pipp -- My bet would be on the vaccine -- many here have...

Hi @Drfarxan Many here grind their own almond flour from whole almonds and report good results. The major difference between ground almonds and almond flour is that almond flour has a lot of the oil removed (as it is made from whatever is left over after the oil from making almond oil is...

Hi @Newly diagnosed, I often bake with oat fiber myself. It has close to zero carbs, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Good morning and happy Easter all, 5.4 for me today -- a bit higher than I usually see, but not unexpected. @becca59 -- Hugs for the hypo. @PenguinMum -- Agreed, I also don't have the courage to attempt a hot cross bun (or anything similar carby).

Hi @Ryhia, I've been trying to think of what okra tastes like, but have had a hard time coming up with a description. It's more of delicate taste (though not tasteless), maybe a litte grassy, crispy when fried and imho quite pleasant. The problem with okra is that it can be quite slimy. Frying...
