Was this Hall's Two week crossover study? The one that was found NOT to be low carb? Apples to Oranges. See Virta Studies results for last two years, see DCUKs results.

So, an anecdote quoted by you is science but one from me is worthy of dismissal? The reason that anyone can overeat on ice cream is down to fructose, we are evolutionarily conditioned to gorge on fructose when available (see famine/ feast) but the problem is that it is never winter in these...

Those studies have been debunked and discussed many times on this forum. See John Ionnides (he who has no dog in any fight) for his opinion on studies like those into the Okinawans and the Tsimane. And you have done more glossing over than the Dulux Dog.

I will wait.

Oh MY Days! We have a Winner and a half! Congratulations on a stunning U-Turn, keep up the great work.

It depends very much on which type of Diabetes you have. For those with Insulin Resistance (Type 2) then fruit can be a minefield. Fruits high in fructose such as bananas and grapes are not tolerated well by the majority of T2s. A better choice would be strawberries and raspberries in small...

Will do, am thinking soft boiled though they may be harder to handle.

Yummy! I have decided to see if I can make them with a boiled egg inside instead of cheese to be called 'All Day Breakfast'. My youngest takes the cheesy one to uni for lunch (he eats two at a time) and he likes his all spicy. Glad you like them.

This is my understanding and just my opinion. With regard Type 2 Diabetes; Restricting calories from carbohydrates is a good thing, all day long. Restricting calories from fats can be utilised for different reasons, weight maintenance - this happens at the 'tweaking' phase. Fasting, for me...

Ah, I see. Thank you.

This is what I get. Two people join a particular thread, both in the 'industry'. A thread on a Diabetes website and they concentrate all their efforts on weight, ignore question of TOFIism and sedentary lifestyle with weight loss and studiously ignore the whole concept of metabolic syndrome...

'Trendy' sells. That is why I like LCHF/Keto, there's no profit in broccoli or cheese ;).

Bye now, take care.

Good Luck, lass. xx

So it seems that the good news is that we can all throw away our glucometers and stop having to self fund strips. After all this time and expense all we really needed was a calculator!

One thing I learned about spinach is that to gain any iron from it it has to be cooked to destroy some of the baddies in it that make the iron un-bioavailable. I am not too worried about the lectins and oxalates in green leafy veg as the quantity I eat has reduced over the last two years but...

Do some more reading, you may be swapping (an as yet unconfirmed) problem for another. E.g. oxalates or lectins or both.

No refs given but from David Diamond tweet, Pharma finally admitted that up to 20% of statin users will get side effects and some to the point that they can either not even tolerate a lower dose or that they cannot tolerate statin treatment at all. Since the advent of PCSK9s however that number...

May I ask when you tested? Did you take a pre prandial reading and multiple post prandials? When we get a surprising reading we usually retest, too.

Zoe would be proud!
