"NewTD2, post: 1728585, member: 439634" Your doctor sounds ridiculous. Consider a different doctor. In the meantime, if you can control your blood sugar through diet and exercise, this is preferred to meds. Meds have side effects. Be sure your metabolism doesn't suffer too much by going too...

Is there an urgent care where you are? If not, you need to find a way to see a doctor. Maybe your pharmacist can help? I am type 2, so my diabetes responds to diet and walking. Not sure if yours does. I went low glycemic index, 15 or less on the Harvard website. It was radical, but it...

I don't think anyone here are doctors, so, take their advice including my own with a grain of salt. That being said, have you lost a lot of weight or have you been under a lot of stress? If so, your cortisol could be high. Just a thought to check your hormones. May as well get them all...

Are you all in the UK?

Deb, what is svt?

I ended up prioritizing my meats to things that swim before things that fly. And things that fly before things that walk. And reducing meal portion size to the size of my palm. And reducing how often I have meat. But I still have it.

My Endo likes Neal Barnard and Joel Fuhrman diets. There seems to be some evidence that high fat results in diabetes. And therefore my endo wanted me to reduce animal fats. The diabetes dietician also said something alial the same lines that high fat is bad for the pancreas. She wanted me to...

Britishpub, is there an issue with the Applegate brand I should be aware of?

Bulkbiker... My Endo recommended a plant based diet, however, due to my food intolerances leaving me not much to eat, went with less meat.

Was 7.7. Is 5.6.
