The liver regards alcohol as a poison and moves it to the top of its priorities. It lets everything hang until it has dealt with it. Then it resumes where it left off. Actually, I use a glass of red and some cheese last thing at night to dampen my 'morning phenomena'. Crazy, but it works for me...

Hi Murray.99 No special diet or supplements are required unless you are a professional athlete or do extreme amounts of training. On the whole you need to consume up to 1g of protein/kg of body weight per day for good health. A small amount of protein in liquid form (say 15-20 grams) within an...

Wonderful news and outcome. Enjoy your dream home and a long, active, healthy and happy retirement.

Hi Brainy51 Great !!!! Sounds as if you are really ticked off. My GP (an old geezer like me) did the same thing to me (my a1c was 9.7). My reaction I suppose was predictable - I'll show the %$D6 smart *#^&!!!. And I did too. Went on the Newcastle diet, finished it, lost almost 20kgs, and lots of...

Great reply. Great chart.

Oooh yes!!!. A good brekkie. I could only improve on it with the occasional berries, or a passionfruit or ..... **** its a long way to breakfast.

Hi It seems to me that its possible to get a bit too tied up with a particular diet. I just wonder if you have established what is your personal carb tolerance. You can also consider what types of carbs you eat, what the GI value is. Would you get a balanced diet by following the paleo...

You are one funny grumpy git!!!:p No, I changed my mind - You are a hilariously funny grumpy git.

Hi eve0 I have done the diet (the Newcastle Diet, basically the same) with good outcomes. Everything that Prof Taylor wrote was pretty well what I experienced. Definitely drink lots of water as recommended - the vegies should take care of the constipation side of things. Just couple of other...

Hi JenniferG. There is a great website called www.Disabled-world.com that has a wealth of information on exercises. It might have what you are after. Regards

I think that there are some (very few people) who really have medical problems and therefore reasons for their weight gain/loss. The rest of us, like me, could have made choices to live with the limits/restrictions that genes etc have placed on us. At the end of the day its no use blaming...

Yup, its a real pain and a hard one to solve. I got up several nights to track the blighter - it started at 3.30am and rose to 8.0 by 7am. What I finally settled on was a protein(cheese) snack before bed (a glass of red with it works even better). During the day I do not have any real problems...

Good on you for being so positive and sensible. GI (glycemic index) of food can also be incorporated into managing your BGLs - lot of useful and interesting info at www.gisymbol.com.au. Whilst there, worthwhile to read the two articles by Prof Jennie Brand-Miller and Dr Alan Barclay in the July...

Fabulous progress and great results. Just a note of caution - make sure you do your resistance exercises religiously as you can lose a lot of lean muscle tissue if you don't. Damned hard to get it back. Also map out a good transition plan when you have done your 8 weeks, so that you have an...

Wow, you had a long road to get there and it fabulous that you have the knowledge and ability to fine tune things so well. You have my admiration and best wishes for the future.

From one turkey on another - should be interesting.

You seem to be in the right track as I understand it. Only other thing you may consider is the quality of your carbs (ie low or high GI) and what you eat it with - ie the qty of protein and fat. Sorry, ketone monitoring is not my bag - with LCKD a lot of the literature suggest you have to watch...

Good on you Jennifer for your honesty. I was in the same boat as you. Now I just have cheese and a glass of red before bed - and my readings are a lot lower in the morning. A win-win situation.

Yup, if you are looking for the saturated stuff you don't have to go any further. If you are worried about cholesterol and your arteries, go to a place like the Mayo Clinic for advice. If you don't want to worry, wait for reassuring advice on this forum until you get it. The impression I have is...

Considering all the other comments, just one small tip. If you must have pasta (brown or white)as a treat, cook it the day before you need it (or store it in the freezer). This increases the amount of resistant starch by about 50% and reduces the effect on BGL's by roughly the same amount..
