You're gonna need a bigger cat...

Sad but true. Just to add that a lot of these monocrops are subsidised by the taxpayer so I vote to stop this practice of paying twice for stuff that could be argued is fuelling the rise of ill health across the world. There! I fixed it.

"Eating meat could be banned like smoking, one of Britain’s foremost barristers has predicted, as he called for the offence of ‘ecocide’ to be introduced to prosecute those who damage the nature on a massive scale." So, vast swathes of monocropping doesn't do this? Palm Oil production doesn't...

"I had read that a normal persons shouldn't get over 7.8 no matter what." What it shouldn't do and what it does do are different things. A non Diabetic's levels can rise above 10 but come down quickly and easily because their metabolism works properly. To the OP. Random readings tell you...

What about the theory of damaged DNA?

I am not convinced that a lot of confidence (at this stage) can be put on epigenetics, seems to me that those who seek to treat using epis as a guide may be unaware of the possible pleiotropic effects. Was viewing a Giles Yeo Royal Institute vid on YouTube a while back and he reckons that there...

Exactly.

...and what's with the 'Good Genes' thaing? Twin studies clearly show that blaming stuff on good/bad genes is a bit of a cop out.

I would add to Jim's comment the seeming 'paradox' of TOFIism where obesity is not a factor for T2/IR. A factor that these researchers ignore. If you think you are safe because you have a normal BMI (Yuck! I hate typing those letters!) then think again. Weight gain is a symptom, a symptom that...

You are bucking (your doctor's) trend. An HbA1c of 34 is a winner, great job there well done.

Steroids for a head cold?

No harm done. Just had me doubting my own sanity ;)

My missing comment turned up on a totally different thread. I have members now scratching their heads and wondering if I have lost the plot completely.

Please see my comment below.

I do apologise. I have not even viewed this thread but my comment (above) was unsuccessfully posted to a totally different thread. I will try to delete it from this one. Thanks for the heads up.

Are the boffins still working on the software? Twice now I have tried to add another comment for clarification and to add a link about cholesterol (in my signature) and twice failed.

I think it is fair to say that LDL alone is insufficient as a marker for anything (except possibly very high levels flag up Familial Hypercholesterolaemia). We must needs to look at the HDL to Triglycerides ratio which is a marker for Insulin Resistance therefore T2. We should aim for high HDL...

I think it is fair to say that LDL alone is not a good marker for anything at all. High Trilycerides plus low HDL is a good marker for Insulin Resistance and therefore Type 2 Diabetes. (The worst case scenario as far as my understanding goes is high LDL plus high Trigs plus low HDL). Hope...

I think that's a fair comment. If more people with Pre Diabetes/Type 2 Diabetes were shown educational sources such as this short video and those like it they would get the concept really quickly and easily. First thing is for the HCPs to STOP telling people not to test even if the local CCG...

Y'Know what the biggest costs are? The cost of life and the cost of loss of quality of life. Tired of being blamed by an organisation that, if left to its own devices, would have me on insulin and possibly already suffering complications by giving duff advice on dietary approaches and...
