What would constitute an appropriate reversal of T2 Diabetes?:meh:

A doctor I used to see once warned me about taking vit c tablets as it might affect my kidneys as he was writing a script for lipitor (another story for a different forum). I wonder what his thoughts are regarding this thread.o_O

Diabetes Australia STILL give out similar advice as NICE however the Dieticians Association have slightly altered their stance with "there are some situations where reduced carbohydrate intake may be beneficial ... " My question will always be:"if low GI foods increase your BSL slowly, would it...

A few indicators you could do to gauge the carb levels you need is with finger prick tests and the ole' bathroom scales to monitor your weight loss (or gain). The HBA1C result is but one number which is the average BSL over a period. Regularly checking your blood sugars will show if you need to...

Don't worry, we are hoping that Dr Fettke become the Australian version of Prof. Noakes. The more publicity this gets the more ridiculous the medical fraternity will be exposed. Imagine, an orthopaedic surgeon can cut into peoples bodies but are not allowed to advise their patient not to eat...

Organisations like Diabetes Australia are STILL promoting the outdated 'food pyramid' which puts carbo loaded food on the "eat the most" and fats are at the tip. When contacting them about their advice to diets (the food they recommend raises BSL) the reply was a generic "this is what dieticians...

Thanks for that info! Living 'down under', I don't have direct access to the BBC but that was a great show, nonetheless. I get all the informative doco's through youtube and have a great collection about LCHF and statins v cholesterol etc. Did you see the ABC Catalyst show about statins?

Has anyone else have seen this fascinating LCHF documentary? I found this gem on youtube (type the title of this thread on the youtube search to get to it) and it was a fairly balanced doco with its fair share of naysayers waffling on about the "dangers of eating fat". I loved the part where...

I wonder how many MILLIONS are on statins that don't need them, isn't doing them any good and suffering from its side effects? So the most important question is: What is more important, the health and well being of a patient, or the profit margins of pharmaceutical companies? EVERYONE should...

I normally show a lot of respect to medical professionals until they behave like they have a hidden agenda.For doctors to push certain medications onto their patients despite damaging side effects proves that they have an agenda. And believe me, doctors need you as much as you need them. Without...

I live in a small town of 1300 population with ONE doctors surgery. The next larger town is 30 minutes drive away and it looks like I'm in for some driving in future:(

I went to see a doctor for prescriptions for Type 2 Diabetes management. The first question he asked me was what cholesterol lowering drug I was on. I replied that I have stopped taking statin drugs as I suffered bad side effects from it.He WARNED me that I am a heart attack just waiting to...

I'm developing a healthy dose of cynicism with medical 'professionals' who give out outdated advice which can have damaging consequences. And don't they hate patients who take the trouble of arming themselves with knowledge. After all, it's our health and knowing everything about our health is...

Reminds me of something I read many years ago regarding McDonalds: "The most nutritious thing that comes out of McDonalds is its' packaging":clown:

Hi Tony, Pleased to 'meet' you! I have asked my parents when I was a kid who or what I was named after and they said it was from an Oscar Wilde novel "The Picture Of Dorian Grey". There have been times when I thought it would be nice to have a common name, but after reading about celebrities...

One thing I forgot to mention, once you are signed up with NDSS, you can only get your discounted diabetes supplies through NDSS accredited chemists.Don't worry, about 80% of chemists are, and you'll see the NDSS sign out the front. Use @daisy1's post as your starting guide for information and...

I can see some similarities with how Prof Tim Noakes is treated by the health professionals now and how Dr Robert Atkins was treated by health professionals back in the 1970's. Without getting into some serious 'conspiracy theories' go with the old saying: "just follow the money". I did read...

I've had my first Dietician consultation since adopting the LCHF lifestyle. I was expecting a confrontation with her I so armed myself with information with Ancel Keys and his Diet-Heart and Lipid Hypothesis, Prof. Tim Noakes and his battles with dieticians. All that knowledge was not needed as...

Hi Silvia, I'm Dorian from Central Victoria and welcome to this site. The first thing to do, as Tipetoo suggests, sign up with NDSS (National Diabetes Services Scheme) so you can get discounted strips and some chemists even give out free blood testing machines (but you still have to buy the test...
