Depends on how many birthdays your son has a year (or you should have arranged it so that he was born on 29 February). Seriously though, you seem to exercise a great deal of restraint at other times to warrant lashing out once in a while. If you are going to be a saint - you occasionally HAVE to...

Hi Satkins After I transioned off the Newcastle diet my 'morning phenomenon' returned with a vengeance. It took till lunchtime to get my BGL's to settle. To make a long story short, I switched to Metformin ER 500mg at night, ate relatively few carbs for dinner and had a small snack (cheese or...

You could try www.whfoods.org by George Mateljan. He has an insane amount of information on nutrition and composition of foods. This is not a plug for the website or its philosophy, just the huge amount of analytical information available.

Wow Spirit01 - you are an absolute legend. What a beautiful set of numbers. You no doubt worked hard to achieve such outstanding result. Congratulations and all the very best.

Great article on the Mediterranean diet. Finally, we are getting evidence based advice for people who do not want to survive on 70% fat and 30% protein for whatever reason (preference, kidneys....). And yes, people HAVE the right to believe and eat what they are comfortable with. I have...

I guess it might have to do with genes. My wife's family have serious cholesterol difficulties and the cardiovascular problems that go with it (even with the help of statins). Really glad that your body has been so robust - you would not want any other problems in addition to your condition. All...

I am really intrigued by your statement - I have not come across any meta or peer reviewed studies to support it. Would love some references thanks.

Hi Samantha I am a recovering binge eater of 60+ years. I live 'down under' and I have found Overeaters Anonymous a great help. The web site in the UK is www.oagb.org.uk - you get plenty of support from people who have ' been there and done that'. It might just be the thing you need to help...

Hi Droosie I am a recovering binge eater of 60+ years experience so I had my share of failures and success, hence I will try not to preach. Two pieces of advice: 1. Check out Overeaters Anonymous - a great worldwide organisation that's also in the UK. Based on regular meetings and support...

Great start, great news. The hardest part in any journey is the first step - congratulations and go for it.

Hi Silanoz Your situation really sucks. I feel really sorry for you and can appreciate to some extent your frustrations as I am a recovering life long binge eater, had depression for 10 years plus I am a type 2. Perhaps us guys are a bit proud to accept help. I was the same way. I eventually...

Hi Kevin I like your style mate! Sorry if I gave the wrong impression - I was trying to ask 'do you think there is a conspiracy there'. Anyway, you have 'gotten me to think' in a very diplomatic way. It would be an interesting discussion with you. One thing you clarified for me is that I am on...

Hi I had a look at the video and felt a sense of unease. Why in God's name is an electrical engineer lecturing about the heart etc. He then introduces this dude called Thomas Dayspring, who is an Assistant Professor at some place that he (the engineer) has forgotten to display.Oh! and he...

Good stuff and keep coping. Don't forget to kick the mutt in the ribs - with boots on. Hooroo!

Hmmm. I had not realized Credit Suisse were also medical researchers. Mind you they have a nice disclaimer at the end. Impressive research and references put together in a creative fashion. Thanks for putting up the web address it was interesting reading - but I still prefer to go by the dietary...

Like wise Finsky. Really wish you the best on whatever path you choose to travel. Maybe we can compare notes in the next reincarnation?

How right you are. Also the cardiac MRI is pretty good too. Apparently the resolution is a bit better than .5mm. But ****, there is the cost.

Thanks, I note that you have done pretty impressive things with your weight and your HbA1c. Isn't the depression a real mongrel. I was and currently am a recovering binge eater and I could not get any traction with it until I went off the tablets - but that's another long story. I hope you have...

I guess I must be missing something guys. But just for safety I think I will stick with the qualified mob.

Thanks Myangelsmom, actually I am kind to myself but don't permit self delusions any more. Glad we are on the righteous path and hope we stay there and prosper. Regards FENE.
