Fair enough Susikav, each to his own. It is really hard to ignore the warnings about saturated fats and cardiac/circulatory problems. It seems to me we are trading one form of complication for another. However, I truly wish you all the best if it works for you and hope you do not have any long...

Thanks I definitely will- by the way is this site in the same league as the ones I mentioned?

To be honest, my T2 was caused exclusively by life style choices. I knew it ran in my family, but simply chose to ignore it and stuffed myself with food regardless. It was only after I stopped blaming things and complaining and realized that I had a problem, I owned it as well as the solution...

True. But my genes make that the likeliest cause of death for this feather duster. Hence my looking for less likely ways to exit this world.

I am glad you have a sense of humor Geoff. After all they are just a bunch of ignorant, uneducated, self serving, self opinionated Yanks who cant tell their left from their right and know which is up. I am looking forward to your take on the Mediterranean diet.

What a good idea - except its my lousy typing skills. That's what happens when you are lazy and rely on Dragon Premioum too much. Cheers!!

Geoff, I truly respect your right to have an opinion and do what you are comfortable with. All I was saying is that there is a lot of rubbish on Google. One place you might like to check out is the Mayo Clinic and their latest article on the Mediterranean diet. A meta analysis of over 1.5...

Gee, its so nice to see Pete Evans sprouting his expert knowledge. He must have taken another trip into the paleo era as he now states that coconut oil "is full of monosaturated fat". Not the same stuff he is full of. Lovely to see chefs changing careers and becoming health professionals. Yep -...

For heaven's sake mate! Before you dismiss the warnings about saturated fats, check out the Joslin Diabetec Centre, Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins, Harvard Medical School, American Cardiologists Association for a start (by the way I am not a Yank but an Aussie). There is certainly a place and need...

Congratulations on your achievement and all the best for the future. However, for a lot of T2's the answer is nowhere near as simple. In fact, it would be to your benefit to read some more of the posts and you will see just what a challenge it is for a lot of us. There may be many causes and I...

Fabulous results and I am sure you are an inspiration to many people. Wishing you smooth sailing from here on.

The point of the shakes is to have a balanced intake of nutrients. Protein shakes do not fit the bill, but you may be told by your doctor to have extra protein ( to limit lean muscle tissue loss). Please listen to Prof Taylor's lecture before you start/modify the diet.. It was designed and...

No problems. All the best in your No, I'll just take my chances.

Thanks. No guarantees with this route just possibilities and hope.

Go for it Ian. I am a subscriber to the Joslin Diabetic Centre. Yet even this eminent body does not discuss it.I wish you the best in your endavours.

Too bloody right the diet works. I am 2 1/2 weeks into it, lost 10kgs, off 2 tablets, metformin halved, HbA1c dropped from 9.9 to 5.8 (as per my fructosamine test). After being a binge eater for 68 years and a self confessed chubby bubby, these are to me a beeeutiful set of figures. BUT: 1. I...
