As a general rule the more processed a carb is the faster it is metabolised and the higher the reaction. As we are all different our reactions are not always the same and the portion size can matter. The only way to find out what your personal threshhold is is to test before and after...

It is not one that cannot be overcome, which makes your statement invalid.

It also says that lowering cholesterol is integral, too. Hogwash!

So what you are saying is that if one cannot exercise then there is no hope of remission? No hope of weight loss? A life of complications sooner rather than later?

Well, pardon me for offering up a little knowledge. Ultimately, it is the constant glycation of cells that starts the ball rolling wrt nerve and tissue damage. I shan't bother again.

This may go some way to help answer your question. A short (4mins) video on glycation.

There is no diet that would suit whole populations, a more holistic approach is needed when you take into consideration budget, culture and physical differences etc.

I disagree with you that being active is more important than diet. Diet is key to prevention as well as maintenance. In terms of T2 Diet is key and exercise is secondary.

Chronic bouts of Thrush was one of the lesser known symptoms of T2 that I had before diagnosis. When you think about it, flushing glucose out through the kidneys via a Flozin is pretty much the same thing. Edit to add. Better to lower the amount of glucose in the first place by eating a lower...

The diet that preceded the epidemic? Before the advent of ultra processed foods that were devoid of seed oils and cooked at home from scratch and didn't include a snack or a meal every three hours.

Which type of Diabetes do you have and are you on medications for Diabetes? Some T2 Diabetes medications are well known for causing UTIs.

A true Inspiration. Not often I say this but you are a grand lass.

Hi Angel and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately I cannot advise on insulin use as I have never used it but I am a wheelchair user and with dietary changes I lost weight and lowered my HbA1c from 98 to 43 in four months and have had non Diabetic numbers since then. There is always hope, lass...

Well done, great work in just one month. You are the one that has to decide on the meds, we can't advise on that but what I will say is that Met is a mild drug and what has made a big dent in your HbA1c is your change in dietary habits. Keep up the good work.

It has been shown that fatty liver can start to improve very quickly (sometimes within just a few days) after changes in dietary intake. Cutting down on carbs especially fructose can only help your liver. Good luck.

Fatty liver and Insulin Resistance go together. Improve the fatty liver and given time the glucose readings will improve. As to Dawn Phenomena, this is not set in stone, stress, poor sleep, infection etc can affect it. And it is not always at dawn, it can happen at any time of the day.

Consensus is alive and well and living in cut price supermarkets. I sometimes wonder just how leeching died out :banghead:.

`Picture this. You hear of an acquaintance who has one or two of these conditions: Kidney failure - on dialysis Heart failure or heart attack OA and desperately needing new hip/knee Dementia or Altzheimer's Disease Liver failure needing transplant Gastroparesis Blindness or severe loss of sight...

Blame. as I said earlier, should not come into the equation. It serves no purpose and may add to a weakening of resolve. T2 is not our fault but once in the know it is our responsibility.

Just an opinion. It was not that we were necessarily eating to gluttony on the modern western diet (although it is now widely accepted that this way of eating promotes hunger) it is that we were eating a diet that is inappropriate for our species. In short, the modern western diet is not...
