Some researcher bloke who claims to have used research grant money to find a way of curing diabetes instead of producing meds to control it, He claims to have done it by eating certain foods and over the counter supplements for a few weeks then over a period of time re introducing normal carbs...

I'm using that Almsed shake stuff advertised on here. I've lost a stone and my blood sugar levels have never been better!

Hiya folks. I've just watched this entire video and it reeks of bull s*&t but i thought i'd run it past you all and see if anyones heard of this guy and what he's claiming is true or if he is in fact a complete fake. I've seen loads of these vids before in the past but hell its worth a look I...

"HbA1c level of 42.0 mmol/mol" !!!!!! good lord! I didn't know readings went that high!. When doing your blood tests you should be looking at readings between 4.5 - 7.5 max. I freak out if i hit 13! and yes Bananas aren't the best thing to eat. Theres a reason the tour de france riders eat...

I shall submit myself for testing! :)

I spoke to my Dad last night on the phone and he said he'd read in the paper of a patch you stick on your arm that constantly monitors your blood sugar levels and transmits the readings to a device. Dad being dad lost the article though so I'm wondering if anyone knows of such a device and is...

Thats true! but I like the log function. I know the lite version has this sort of function but this one is so much easier to access and read plus you can plug it into your laptop and make a printout (so I'm told, i havent actually done this yet). Despite the size the carry case isn't that much...

That's brilliant thanks muchly for that. I googled this and never got anything like this!

DOH! oh yes or PM me. I hear one code does every machine and its currently available online but I cant find it. Please if anyone can get me this I would be eternally grateful

Ok I know why freestyle have instigated this code to cover their backs, But I've had type 1 diabetes for 35 years now and I can say I'm pretty qualified to calculate my own insulin levels. I would like to have this function as a base level to help calculate my insulin dose. Problem being my next...

Thanks guys, I don't recall seeing any calibration liquid with the meter but I'll have a look again tonight. :wink:

Recently I was lucky enough to win one of the breeze blood glucose monitors which is great as the only thing I've ever won was a bottle of Hi Karate aftershave in a raffle when I was 5! :D . Anyway I digress!. My old meter a freestyle lite is still knocking about and yesterday as I was...

Also just a wee update, I did a ketone test this morning and it was high, but my blood sugar for the last 2 weeks hasn't risen above 9 and even then only briefly. This is a good thing right?. It shows I'm burning lard if I've understood everything thats been said in the forum ?.

I put myself on a low carb diet after gaining a waist size a year after I got married!. I've been having mini chicken breast for breakfast and small salads from the sainsbury's salad cart at lunchtime. I have green veg with chickpeas and no pasta or bread. Fair enough my blood glucose levels...

200 units of novo rapid a day!!!!!! :shock: good lord! what are you eating??. Ive been changed from humilin s to Novo rapid and I've found it excellent. I'm taking about 40-maybe 50 units a day and find that adequate. 14 units before a main meal sees me right, and I thought maybe that was...

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I used to suffer badly from night hypos. Luckily my wife knows what shes doing and brought me out of them quickly. In the morning I would feel awful, I mean a hangover times 100! I would often bite my tongue and would feel nauseous all the next day. I was on humilin...

Cheers Nigel

Thanks for the link It was a great help. Not sure why it says more than one drink of alcohol a day can cause brain damage! I didn't know that was the case
