Oh, I'd LOVE to do that, but see about 6,000 issues with it, including consent and funding. But it's very clear that when he eats better, he sleeps better, he feels better, he's more resilient (emotionally and physically), and as a result of better rest and improved general health, he's more...

Well, I watched this with my 12-year-old who has, it's fair to say, an absolutely atrocious diet currently, for complicated reasons that aren't really under my control - he has a number of sensory / developmental issues and lives at school Monday - Friday. I said to him, "If you can watch this...

I'd literally just been on the phone to my best friend, gleefully pronouncing that I beat T2D in less than a year and telling him that there was a program about carbs on shortly (my friends are fascinated / bewildered but supportive as they've seen the huge improvement to my health)...

Program just finished... all I can say is: Let the revolution begin! And welcome to the flood of new folks who will get here by googling "low carb diet diabetes" :)

Dr Xand is normally pretty good with the science (he often uses his twin brother as a guinea pig to demonstrate various concepts), and today's article on the BBC website looks very good indeed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44368601 It seems the question being asked here is whether carbs...

You guys... :)

That's how long it's been since I received my diagnosis of T2D. I immediately found this wonderful community (I still read, even if I don't write much these days!), hit the ground running and, I'm delighted to say, on 21st May, my HbA1c came back as 42 - the magic number (in spite of my...

I've recently been trying to "fill out" my regular diet with cheap, easy, reliably healthy stuff that I can grab and eat without a thought. My regular fave of frozen berries and cream was getting a little pricey and (let's face it) even on LCHF you still have to watch those grams of fat a little...

"Don't worry... it's just a little one..."

Get to know someone, get to trust them, tell them about it. To be safe, they'll need to be hypo aware anyways: don't be ashamed, don't feel it's a secret you have to spill: it's a fact of your life, just like your job, your interests, your favourite movie. Don't build it up to be any more than...

More Ivor and friends on carbs and cancer. The first one is slightly difficult and very slow, but worth hanging in for: The second is a TEDx talk by Dominic D'Agostino (a professor from Florida who "develops and tests metabolic therapies") where he discusses starving cancer using a keto...

Ivor Cummings has given talks where he links advanced insulin intolerance to an increase in cancer rates (video starts at relevant moment): Sugar and cancer do have a complicated relationship, as described by Cancer Research UK here...

He inspired three generations of my family to look up in wonder and think beyond what we can see. He's always inspired me to find humour in everything and to be more than my current problems / illnesses. He was a man of grace, of vision, who was in love with the world as much as he was in love...

Also hi and welcome to @Erika1 ! Your information was super-interesting; it's been known for a while that protein also produces BG rises, though they're longer and flatter than carb spikes, and though it seems like a no-brainer, I've never seen anyone think aobut this in the terms you mentioned...

It could have been that your wife was rushing around while she was out. Perhaps there was a difficult phone call or conversation. Maybe she felt a bit tired or achey. Or could have been something on her skin - did you retest with another finger? Crazy readings happen to us all, and it could be...

For breakfast this morning (6am) I had a 3-egg omelette (with butter in the pan), into which I chucked (I'm a free-styling sort of cook) a handful of grated mature cheddar and a few slices of salami trimmed into strips. Lunch (1pm) was olives and a leafy green salad with tuna mayo followed by a...

Hi @gabastu72 - welcome to the forum, though I wish I was greeting you from a more cheerful context. I have, unfortunately, no experience with methadone or the reduction of such. To be honest, I've been in such terror of opioid addiction that I've never let myself go more than 3 days on...

Just a small point but when you're posting an entire page as a quote, could you also post a link to the source material? It allows us to read more for ourselves (and bookmark as required) judge the quality of the source and, of course, acknowledge that the words belong to someone and who that...
