I think I read a study which showed that the ability to use exercise to regulate bgl decreases over time. So ten minutes might drop it when you start but you would eventually need 15 minutes to get the same result., and so on. It did not seem to be connected to weight loss. I have dreadful brain...

He said that? Don't you just love the way that inconvenient truth is left out of studies. We are dying because of this practice. I am low carb but would drop it in a heart beat if conflicting but truthful evidence shows it to be detrimental. But I have no financial interest in any food. The...

I am wondering what type.of complex carbs you recommend?

I have just found a cully and sully soup that is 2.4 grms per 100 ml. There is 400 ml per carton. I had the chicken and veg one and it was delicious. Now just waiting to find out that I have misread the packaging!

Good lord!!! In the winter????? Are you mad!!!!!

Hello, sorry to hear you are poorly. I think you really need to insist that your gp takes you seriously and get some proper tests done. Iron, vit b, d etc. Your symptoms could be a number of things, and having one problem.does not mean that there is something else as well. Dont want to be...

Taking the weight loss thing out of context is exactly what is happening. Not on this forum perhaps, but definitely in the uninformed general public. Every one "knows" that all fat people are have no will power. Everyone "knows" that all fat people get diabetes. And now everyone "knows" that if...

Thanks, @Guzzler , I am a bit worried. But trying to get a gp appt is like trying to find a hen with teeth.

I cant wait for the 1st jan!! Get to do the annual change of the barrel on my fastclix!! Six whole new needles! Roll on 2018.

Morning all. I know we are not doctors etc. I woke up a couple of days ago to a very large numb patch on my right calf. The patch has grown and now I have a smaller patch on the left side. I did have a bit of leg ache on the right side, but that has gone. I am thinking sciatica. But there is...

Ohhh yes!! Life is so unfair! I had too many mince pies and woke up with a cracking headache. Although my fbg today was 8.4, so perhaps it is a good lesson learned.

I really wish I felt the same way as most of you!! I had mince pies and they were delicious!!! Not to mention the sausage rolls. Woke up to 8.4 today, so definitely not worth it. And I have to have an unexpected hbalc in early January because I am staring an xpert course. Rats!!!!

Thinking of you!! Hoping you get home soon and get the pain under control.

@melliemars , wow well.done! You have done amazing work. I am easing off a little for Christmas, but not too much. I now know that if I eat too many carbs I dont feel.well. I also get very hungry, so I'm not going overboard on the carbs. But I am going to eat a ton of cheese!!!!

This is true at the moment. However, lots of new research is coming out that shows a definite link between thyroid disorders and t2d. A huge study in india covering new t2ds and newly dx hypothyroidism showed a definite relationship. Other research is showing that far more people with...

Morning all. 6.7 today, oh dear, shouldn't eat birthday cheeses cake!! Have a hyper excited 3 year old running around. He hasn't stopped moving and singing for nearly 2 hours!!!

I am sure the low carb program is great, but you dont need to pay for the info that a t2d needs. Have a good look around the forum, read dietdoctor, (the free bits) and read the free recipes etc that pop up if you google low carb diets. The info that you need is available for free in lots of...

I have no answers for you, but do know that the 2 are most definitely linked. I am hypothyroid and have t2d, plus a couple of other autoimmune thingies. Most of my mums family have lots of autoimmune disorders as well, with t2d and hypothyroidism being the most common. Please dont let it ruin...

Drugs and therapy make some people a lot of money. Telling t2ds to eat lchf doesn't make anyone any money at all.

Did your gp say why he thought you needed to lower your bgl? If you are not diabetic it seems odd to give you medication for a disease you do not have.
