I am not sure what you mean by infectious hepatitis, several types of hepatitis are infectious, A,B,C,D,E,G and possibly F (if it actually exists) for example, but none of them are autoimmune or they wouldn't be infectious, they are all viral. My T2 was due to lifestyle for sure, too many...

Carbohydrates are the problem for T2's not a lack of vit c. I wouldn't be hopeful of any long term success with your strategy. Welcome to the forum, read around, much wisdom is to be found here (even if it's not mine:))

You must have done some serious training already to reliably cycle 80 miles a day. I am aiming for a century ride but it won't be this year and I only want to do it as a one off. My thoughts are that if all your training hasn't already resolved your diabetes then your round the world cycle won't...

Welcome to the forum <<waves>> You have landed in the right place. Read around and you will see that it is not the chronically progressive disease that people would have you believe. Be careful of the official advice though, it is wrong, it is slowly changing but will take a long time before it...

'What is processed?' is an interesting question. I made my own butter once from a herd of beautiful grass fed jersey cows (The calf at foot dairy). It was lovely but a huge faff, now I let others make my butter. I haven't made my own salami yet but I bet I will soon just for the crack. If mine...

Its colour and smell can be driven by what you eat, so too much beetroot for example will turn it an alarming shade of pink whilst asparagus is notorious for making it smell, of, well, asparagus. Infection and medication can also change smell and colour as can dehydration or heavy exercise. If...

Grapes are 16g carb per 100g so off my menu but depending on the daily level of carbs you are aiming for a few in a salad may be ok.

The DiRECT study was where I came in. I found the thought that I could do something positive hugely motivational and whilst I didn't do meal replacements I did reduce my calorie intake dramatically and ended up going keto even though I wasn't aware of it until later. Once I lost the weight my...

'Ow do lass? '64 was a fine year. Tha's not wrong, no point being mardy 'bout owt. Crack on. If you want incomprehensible try: Ha yer fa got a dickey bor? Welcome to the boards:)

Four or five hours at most these days. I go to bed tired and then wake up and can't fall off again. I don't know why, I have generally slept like the proverbial log all my life.

Well, fairs fair so I went and had a look. If I ate what he suggests it would make me very sick, unlike what I do eat which makes me well. Too many grains, high carb veg and pulses for me and my poor pancreas. I find the list of 'essential' supplements, alongside the 'recommended' supplements...

That's the second time this week that I have read about someone not being told by their GP. I am furious on your behalf. Your diet does appear to be quite high carb though and I can see plenty of areas that you could look at if you wished to reduce that, and I suspect that would be a good...

To begin with the advice seems horribly contradictory regarding diet. The NHS pushes low fat and starchy carbs but all that did to me was make me very ill whereas low carb, moderate protein and lots of healthy fats like butter and fish and animal fat etc made me well again. You have lots of good...

You got told off for testing? but that's bonkers! without testing you wouldn't know and therefore couldn't act. Since they think it worthy of an HbAc1 test they should be congratulating you for testing and taking responsibility rather than being the passive victim of care it sounds like they...

Omelette fried in butter, with a few mushrooms would be nice, perhaps some bacon and maybe even a sprinkle of grated cheese and chives and a sauted tomato for me please..... Sorry, got carried away, you weren't taking orders were you?:angelic:

Zero carbs in gin:) Diet tonic, lots of ice, remember Spanish measures are generous. Have a glass of water between each alcoholic drink and stop before you fall over, or at least immediately after;). For breakfast have a carajillo, kill or cure:D Have a great time.

The stupidity of others is not your problem and you are not responsible for educating them. I just growl at people until they go away. Your goals are far more important than their opinions and being strong willed and determined are character traits that are going to help you in every aspect of...

Sweet potato has 17g of carb per 100g. You could have a small portion of rice for that.

The good news is that all the spices and herbs are just fine, even if they do have carbs you never eat enough of them to worry about. Ghee is fabulous stuff, no problem there. Meat and fish and eggs are great too. The bad news, you may need to watch the pulses, I can't eat dal anymore, but if...

Generally speaking they give <7.8 mmol/l two hours after eating as a 'normal' level of control. That doesn't really answer your question but that is actually far more complicated since it would involve having to know what else you have eaten that day and what level of activity you undertook...
