    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi Obviously you have a different experience than I do. A relative guesses that people with the hunter gene tend to gain weight. I process sugar by only storing sugar if my blood sugar rises (unknown amount). A doctor showed that we do not lose weight on his weight lose diet. This is...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi If I eat hard cheese I do not lose weight. If I restrict hard cheese I do lose weight. I think my body has adjusted and it is the simple how much calaries do I take in versus how much work I do and how much energy is used up in digestion etc...

    Why I guess Gestational Diabetes Exsists.

    Hi I have an autoimmune problem which means that when my blood sugar gets above an unknown amount I get brain fog and fatigue. I stongly suspect I have the same gene which is giving you problems. I know a lot about diet since I have had problems since 1957. I have found I can drink some...

    Why I guess Gestational Diabetes Exsists.

    Hi Here is a presentation I figured out after about 60 years of problems. Hi I wish to help fund a study that follows the glucose tolerance tests (GTT) of women before, during and after pregnancy. I have heard that approximately ½ the people of India are prediabetic (1). This...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi Even a dope like me knows something about that test but not enough to give a good interpretation. I read about it (I have an amazing memory unfortunately a (very?) small percentage of the time my memory is inaccurate or even false.) I remember some doctors sort of swear by it. Sorry I...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi They are party followers. I was talked out of going on a full bore Atkins by the medical establishment until about 7 years ago. They are a bunch of ***. I have read that there is no scientific basis for their guess that without a significant amount of sugar/starch/alcohol you have a...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi I probably have a large degree of ketosis. So what? I have exercised in a home gym (lucky) almost every night for about 30 years. My strength is decreasing slowly but I am strong (not athletic) for my age (77). I have been controlling my sugar intake to some degree since 1964 and...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi I think they are full of bull. I am unaware of any scientific study which is definitive about this (wild?) guess. Some people have genetic problems but Eskimos did great (until we added sugar). Neil

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi I do not know of the downside of statins except if your genetics leads to muscle problems (then very bad). I have heard of your type genetic problem. My problem is not in the medical literature. I have gotten feedback that I may have self diagnosed. I have a hunter gene (my glucose...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi I am on a statin but probably not necessary. I take all these medicines for high blood pressure and I tried to see if they remain necessary. Results unpromissing. But consider I am 77. I have heard about your test but for me why? I think most of my problems are (were) due to too...

    I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet for (guess) 40 years.

    Hi I have a rare autoimmune disease which means if my blood sugar goes above an unknown quantity I get brain fog and fatigue. Therefore, for many years, I have eaten very low carbohydrate diet. I am fat. Before I realized how little sugar/starch/alcohol lead to problems I got high blood...

    My body fights to not lose weight (annoying).

    Hi I am fat and I was forced to go on an Atkins diet (about 8 years ago) for a rare form of sugar problem. My (stupid?) doctor noted that I lost weight for about 1 year and then stopped. I noted that I am conpulsive and became something of an exercise freak. My body rebelled and I...

    Physical problem use Atkins diet. Any suggestions?

    Hi I have a different sugar problem. If my blood sugar goes above an unknown value (could be a complicated function of who knows what) I get brain fog and fatigue (not nice). It took me about 50 years to figure this out. If you are interested I now have a theory of what is happening...

    Anyelse with my problem? Forced into your diet.

    I wish to help fund a study that follows the glucose tolerance tests (GTT) of women before, during and after pregnancy. The major reason for this study is that a doctor on PBS in 2015 drew two graphs of a GTT. GTT’s run for 2 hours. The first GTT went up and then down. He indicated this is...

    Prediabetes are genetic variants

    I wish to help fund a study that follows the glucose tolerance tests (GTT) of women before, during and after pregnancy. The major reason for this study is that a doctor on PBS in 2015 drew two graphs of a GTT. GTT’s run for 2 hours. The first GTT went up and then down. He indicated this is...

    Prediabetes are genetic variants

    Hi What do you think of this too long ad (how can I edit?,does it sound good?). Of interest? I would help support a study ($) of what women’s GTT (glucose tolerance test) was before pregnancy. I would help support a study ($) of what the actual GTT of people with normal A1C is. Why? I...

    Prediabetes are genetic variants

    Hi My self diagnosis (I do not exist in the medical literature) is that I have a gene which is good in famines (diet doctor on T.V. found this out, of course this leads to other problems) which does not process sugar immediately but waits for the blood sugar to rise. One of the problems is...

    Is (GTT diagnosed) Prediabetes actually a genetic trait?

    Hi I am saying that I do not have the medical condition know as reative hypoglycemia. I have a different condition. After meals I am fine it is hours later (over 3) that my blood sugar can suddenly drop (on this form I have found my second fellow travellor). I am saying that yes if you...

    Is (GTT diagnosed) Prediabetes actually a genetic trait?

    Hi How did you figure out all your problems were due to sugar/starch/alcohol? It took me 7 years to figure out I had low blood sugar. It took me about 50 years to figure out that I needed to be pretty close to an Atkins diet to remove my symptoms I now discribe as about 1/3 of the symptoms...
