Hi David, thanks for that. I eat butter and coconut oil - I have to say that after my digestion collapsed through what I now realise was extreme dehydration it was coconut oil that really helped a lot. It is good stuff. I get mine fairly reasonably off eBay but you need to shop around a bit...

Wow, thanks Fergus. That is a fantastic study. I have definitely filed that one under 'important information'. The HCFS found in so much processed food and drink is certainly a huge problem these days. The fructose in fruit is not an issue - unless you eat an awful lot of it, because it...

The body manufactures its own cholesterol for whatever it needs it for. If cholesterol is high in the blood that may well mean that there is arterial damage going on somewhere that the body needs cholesterol to repair. Whilst fats don't affect the cholesterol levels adversely - well, not the...

As has been said, no insulin is absolutely right for our body, neither is any drug. Insulins are either derived from animals or are synthetically made - in either case they are not an exact match for our individual human insulin. Nothing can make up for that. Drugs are by their nature toxic...

Tulip, have you had a look at any research concerning Diabetes and Leptin? Whilst it may not actually help your situation it might go some way to explaining why?

Re: Diabetic Nuropathy That sounds like a useful site Andy. The only thing I would be doubtful of is the 'cholesterol' thing. The 'Establishment' is still stuck on the 'fat drives cholesterol' myth and the site undoubtedly uses that criteria. RDA - recommended daily allowance. Recommended by...

Re: Diabetic Nuropathy I have been able to reverse my DN by following the low-carb all-natural food course. Mine amounted to awful 'gouty' needle sharp pains in my toes, but that went fairly soon after adopting the better diet. Not only that but I have also been able to reduce my meds -...

This is a difficult one Tulip, because it is not something I personally have had much experience of. My numbers were way to high for too long for that to be an issue, and since going low-carb (which has helped to stabilise my sugar levels), apart from a few right at the beginning as my body was...

Yes, it is the 'discussion' forum. It's not that his input isn't welcome, but inferring that people are 'anal' just because they like to debate different subjects concerning their diet is not warranted. If 'Sid' doesn't like the discussion or is not even remotely interested in adding anything...

Sid.......if you don't like the debate - get out of the kitchen. Nobody asked your opinion....... :| Fibre, or not to fibre - that is the question...... It all depends where you live. Going back to my old favourites the Inuit and others who eat a similar diet, apart from possibly a bit of...

Aren't children who are interviewed by the Police supposed to have an adult with them???? Kinda puts you off being Diabetic, don't it........... Serena. Knowledge is power. Just quietly learn as much as you can so that next time you are confronted with this kind of situation you will have...

I just tell them what I think! My Diabetic 'Specialist' and I have agreed to part company. I get checked out by my local surgery and couldn't see the point in doing it all over again at the Hospital. Besides, after the rotten hand he dealt me with the Byetta and then trying to ram statins...

Hear, hear, Fergus. The thing is Ally that even wholegrains are not necessarily good for some people. Since Gregor Mendel first hybridised wheat 300 years ago man has been striving to make the stuff grow bigger, better, yield more for less, grow where it didn't grow before, etc., etc. Before...

The pain I used to get like that was in my toes - mainly my big ones - like someone sticking needles in! Ow. Interestingly, along with the restless legs, the burning feet and a host of other things, that went too after I dumped gluten foods and went low-carb. I hadn't noticed until you...

You are absolutely right. Eating well is very much the key. The point is though that so many have digestive issues these days that they are unaware of the fact that gut damage has created malabsorption problems inside. Even people without any obvious digestive issues - other than the...

Amazing. Thanks Hana. I reckon that ought to be worth posting on the main board! It is so good to see members of the Health Profession actually twig what is going on. My concern has been about carbs - specifically processed ones and the dangers of the high consumption of them - and what is...

Ken, just as well you transferred it over to this other thread. The trouble with comments is that you always want to answer them! I could hardly leave being called 'dangerous' alone now, could I.... At least I can carry on making my 'dangerous' comments on this thread. Ta. Ali.

What's a senior moment? :|

Ally sweetie. I know you think you know what is 'right', but I am in contact with a lot of people - and I mean a lot, who have Coeliac Disease and 'plain old' gluten intolerance. Unfortunately, whilst some do recover after dumping gluten, many don't. These people fall into a 'black hole' in...

Exactly. It's an open discussion. About low-carbing. About the issues of being informed or mis-informed on the details of low-carbing. Nice picture. Not quite sure what the relevance was......... Your daughter? I've got one of those. Gorgeous, slim and elegant. But still affected by carbs.
