    Vit D shortage

    I agree. It's the way America funds it's research. When they started there were not so many big players.

    Can i trust these readings?

    Hi I always test last thing at night and first thing in the morning. This proved the Dawn effect for me. A food diary on my app and scrutinising my carbs has started to level so much out. I've felt very weird when levels are around 7 and someone suggested it could be levels dropping quickly.

    Diabetes, st johns wort and anti depressants

    Spoken with my pharmacist. It's not on the sitagliptin contraindications list. But as it uses the liver and diabetes meds uses the liver it may put a strain on that organ. Anti depressants use a different pathway.

    Vit D shortage

    That's your choice. I know the Mayo clinic follows their protocols. I know I've been on the protocol for years. But it's up to you. I don't trust UK guidelines as they are screwing many thousands of hypothyroid sufferers with their selective research and false science... It's the world over...

    Vit D shortage

    It's the organisation which began the whole vit d research. Their website lists all their research. I've not looked at it in years as I follow them on email [email protected]. Hope this helps

    Vit D shortage

    Go by the Vitamin D council figures of America as they are the leaders. UK figures are way out of synch with them. There is a conversion table

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Not diabetes but try hoovering the smoke alarm. Little bugs moving on the sensors may be tripping it. Thunderflies were a big problem in one house I had

    Diabetes, st johns wort and anti depressants

    I'm wondering about using St John's Wort as an anti depressant. I've been told you can't use it in the UK if you have diabetes. But it's one of the main drugs in Germany so diabetics will be using it. Is it just a sales pitch by drug companies to make you have their medication. I'll use it...

    Horrid thing on my leg

    Looks like eczema in the vein... (I'm not sure if that's the correct term but it looks like what mum's got. ) She'll need surgical stockings for support now. Sent from my SM-G935F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

    LCHF and Hays diet.

    Hi. Not heard of the Montagnac diet but I'll read up. Just done my morning BG and it's 8.3. For me that's amazing. I have the dawn effect . So that amazing spud didn't do any of the normal carb stuff of keeping my BG raised over night. I'd have expected it to be 14 plus this morning if I'd had...

    LCHF and Hays diet.

    Hi thanks for that. That was just an e.g.. I didn't feel sluggish or sleepy or bloated as I would with combining protein and carb. If I'd have had protein with that size spud I would have gone to bed with my BG in double figures even after all that time. I'm going to carry on testing this...
