At some point in drug testing, to a drug to be licensed it will have to be tested on animal models, before it can be tested on humans. Testing on humans has its risks, and worst case they have a huge immune response and have multi organ failure. Neither papracetamol or asprin would have passed...

I think the elephant in the room is fat. If you go low carb most people lose weight, and at some point will want to stablise their weight but they can not use carbs, so what would they advise to eat and would it go against the low fat message, which they have spent millions on? The 800 cal diet...

My daughter is severely overweight, she once lost 5 stone but by not eating proper food,so put it all back on. The thing is about a low carb higher fat diet, is you can eat food you can enjoy, like bacon, egg and mushrooms,but just leave off the fillers, the rice, potatoe,chips, bread and...

I like the Aldi dark chocolate, and over Christmas I treated myself to some Green and Blacks dark Almond, which is fairly low and on offer, Carbs 29g/100g, in Tesco at £1.50 a bar. One year by daughter bought me a very posh dark chocolate selection, you know single estate, hand made, blah blah...

I went to my outpatients appointment yesterday, to get the results of my CT and I hoped discuss my future management. I had read the NICE guidelines, https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng104/chapter/recommendations#pseudocysts-2 so I have some idea what should be done. It was quite obvious that...

I didn't eat meat for 30+years, then realised it was not a good option for everyone.I had started non-meat low carbing, then got pancreatitis, so I was very ill and now Type3c. I doubt if I would as done as well, if I had not have eaten meat, I needed concentrated protein for my body to heal. No...

These were my Christmas treat, instead of a mince pie, 5.9g carb and only about £1.90 for four

Good idea. I for one have felt I have been hung out to dry.

While I was in hospital I found all the ones they gave me were far too sugary. Most of them are made of whey protien which to me tastes foul. Tried the soups,Meritene from Boots, they are about £5 a box for 4 , to me disgusting. In the end I found some Nine seed bars, just under 10g carb, about...

Its New Years Eve, so I will not be able to provide the references I am quoting but here is just one study, there are so many of them, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27733529

What worries me about promoting vegan or vegetarian diets as healthy is the effects it may have on developing children and young adults, when we know that good nutrition for them is so important, and animal products are known to improve and support child developement. When I had my first child...

The WHO which I should I have hoped looked at all of the studies, sits firmly on the fence, as even they realise that most of the studies used are epidermilogical, so there may be other factors as well as eating meat or not that effect health. This could include not only what you eat but...

I didn't eat meat for over 30 years, for various reasons, but I eat meat now, I also raise animals for meat, so I think I can understand both sides of the arguement. I get annoyed with the healthy claim, when I stopped eating meat I did a lot of research and found out how to balance the...

I have the same condition as you, I think because I was diagnosed/treated quickly my pancreas is not completely knackered, I was discharged on nasogastric feeds and insulin, but after having a pseudo cyst drained I am now eating real food and not using insulin but eating a LC and lower fat diet...

I could tell what I would do but..... Ring 111, you will have to answer lots of questions and then a doctor should eventualy ring you back. They will probabely ask for your last BG, and if they have acces to System One should have all your records through the GP surgery...

If you can not get your medical teams to exchange information perhaps going to a support organisation that specialises in self harm may be a helpful. A good support group will help you realise your triggers and give you displacement activities. If you join a forum make sure its moderated and...

Hi, Littlebird. I always think when you are learning about diabetes Dr Unwin is the palace to start. Dr Unwin, if I have right clip starts with the patient who was not over weight, but had symptoms of Type 2 He is a GP, and has seen what a low carb diet can do, and has seen the results in his...

Well I was in for 5 weeks the first time, apart from the food being poor quality, everything is reheated, and I was told it cost 80p a day to feed a patient, which explained the poor quality. I lived mainly on cereal and yoghurt, I had to eat something. Every was over sweetened, cooked fruit...

I am a very newly diagnosed one, sat in hospital bed with a feed pump. Luckily for me I am HCP who already knew about this board so I have a place to go for help. I had been LC for a while so every thing they offer me is too **** sweet. Sticky toffee pudding anyone? ed. By mod for language
