    Fasting blood sugar

    Hi! Well I'm sure there will be more experienced people who will join this thread to give you some great advice. I have had my diagnosis since Feb so still figuring it all out myself and like you I've done the BSD though kind of veered off a bit in my own direction some. I do find that exercise...

    Alternative Chips

    I use beef dripping with my oven baked celeriac chips. I find that definitely the size of the batons will determine the type of crispy you get. I salt them and wring out the moisture as well. I also microwave them first for 3 minutes so they are hot when I pour the heated and seasoned dripping...

    Living in Singapore with T1D

    Just FYI although I can’t comment as such on T1 in Sg. I do know that there is currently a govt. initiated Diabetes awareness campaign being rolled out there. In general I have found meds to be expensive. Eg. if you wear dentures and you need stuff like steradent bring your own! Last time I was...

    Confused and in need of guidance

    I think fasting only works to a degree and there comes a point when it doesn't. It's awful when you watch someone have no appetite at all - so when you say fasting helps weaken cancer cells - I wonder how true that is... Just editing to add : Perhaps it was just that the cancer was stronger in...

    Complications and depression

    I'm really sorry to hear how rough it must be for you. It would be a mistake though, to live your life only ever looking backwards.:( It's never really just any one thing that results in anything ; but usually a series of events which lead up to a point in which you find your life fundamentally...

    No guidance

    Hi! I am similarly new although I did attend TILT as my diagnosis was in end Feb this year and because the DN (Diabetic Nurse) said that people who went on this course had a better outcome in terms of managing their T2. Like someone else has mentioned it is essentially a talk about...

    How did you get here, how have things changed and where are you going?

    I think that's rather excellent. There's definitely so much more to life than just eating and food obsessing, and I particularly love the idea of being wonderfully busy with other things to worry at all about eating!

    Type 2 Thalassemia Trait/Blood Testing?

    I have Thalassemia as well and a kind friend of mine did some research on it and found an article relating to the condition which dates later than this post. So I thought I'd share it here as well https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30146829 The article was posted by Clin Lab. 2018 Jul...
