There seem to be some contradictions in there. For example, they say that polyunsaturated fats in vegetable oils and nuts appear to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes when all I read says that vegetable oils in general contain Omega 6 which is terrible or us. And they seem to suggest replacing...

Thank you. I really, REALLY wish the so-called HCPs would offer intelligent, safe lifestyle advice with a proven track record - like you above - of actually having some proper benefit. Like Jason Fung says, treat the source rather than the symptom.

When you say you never needed it in the first place, what do you mean? I ask because my wife was put on Metformin with an HbA1c of 48. I am furious with her HCPs because I think with a diet tweak I don't think it would be necessary. She wasn't advised / counselled about lifestyle changes. Just...

Aye, well if we're right, the system is rather 'open to manipulation'.

I've consolidated my cynical streak over the past couple of years. Hardened by the shameful management of the 'vaccine' rollout, the truth about which is now beginning to emerge. Actually, the seeds of my cynicism were sown by you guys and gals on here when I started exploring treatment and...

Here's an interesting article to add to our knowledge-base. Not definitive of curse, but positive ideas for those of us who follow a low carb / fasting / healthy lifesyle regime

Here Helgy, try this loaf. Not cheap but 0.7g carbs per slice By comparison, I think your Warburton's one may be 9.0g per slice (I'm not a medic, I'm an eater)

I had an enforced break from the booze once and drunk Kaliber to feel like I was joining in. Really a rather nasty experience that was!

zero carb stout?? Guinless then.

Interesting. I've not had a beer for 7 years, since T2 diagnosis. The Marston's is less than half the price of the Salute and seems good value at £21 for 24 bottles? Good value if it tastes OK of course. About 3g Carbs per bottle, which is good. How does it compare with the Salute taste wise...

I'm a coward. So, I decided to scare myself into carb submission! Another way of looking at the carb / glucose thing is how bad sugar is for us. I'm T2, also with some vascular problems so watching the sugar is particularly important for me, same as it's important for diabetics generally. We...

Vitamin D is an important one. According to some, it played a huge role in Covid recovery (or not). There are numerous articles if you Google Vitamin D and immunity. Here's one: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vitamin-d/ I read that 90% of our Vit D comes from direct sunlight on...

Oi Taraven, get your choppers round this! These rolls, though not cheap, are really good. Big enough to slice twice to make 3 open sandwiches. Today for lunch I had 3 slices, buttered with a hint of mint sauce and tongue. (But you can have your choice of topping!) The whole lot about 3 carbs...

Thank you too, also very helpful.

Very helpful, thanks.

Seen some positive reports on Erythritol from a Type 2 perspective. It would be nice to add another dimension to our cooking. Not over the top, just occasionally, to fruit for example.

That's £10 including delivery. Mind you, £6.99 without delivery is not a great option!

I know that some of you don't believe the hype / worth / expense of specific diabetic socks, but........ .... my Mrs bought me 3 pairs a few months ago. They have been really good for me. My feet are a bit 'delicate'. Painful at times, particularly when walking cycling a decent distance. I've...

https://seriouslylowcarb.com/collections/loaves-rolls What I eat. The loaves are fine but the rolls are really good. In my opinion that is. Which, in our house, is the only one worth listening to! :happy: Except my wife.

Well done Sypher! This is related to your experience and it has certainly made me think and confirmed my omnivore status. I watched a presentation by Zoe Harcombe called Should we be Vegan? It's a fascinating look at and appraisal of the subject by a very savvy lady. In addition, there's a...
