https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23386268 yet more confirmation that omega 6 is a problem compared to saturated fats.

Turns out yesterday was not quite my cut calories in half day - victim of a bag of pork scratchings, so not weighing myself . instead I'm being good today :) One thing I have been quite good at though - is starting to get the HIT underway. I discovered a great way to get started is in...

I agree completely, my point is very much that one learns an enormous amount about your own body from wearing one for a couple of weeks and in practice that applies to anyone on the planet who can afford one for a couple of weeks and is interested to find out. It is only a matter of time...

£57.95 including vat from this website. https://www.freestylelibre.co.uk/libre/products.html In my opinion , I do think however that the Eran Seagull is going down a rather complicated approach , probably unnecessarily. In practice people who are insulin sensitive have low fasting insulin...

My personal opinion is that everyone - who is either obese or diagnosed with diabetes, should be either prescribed or at least advised to get a sensor and use it for at least two weeks. If you have a compatible phone then the sensor itself is only £50 and through it you will gain an...

Well I wasn't about to recommend that 1 kg of meat per meal was a good idea! no matter what meat.(or indeed any other product) I do not buy the story that somehow a good cut of meat is SO much more nutricious than a cheap one. The offals from animals are known for being highly nutricious...

Yesterday was the last ( hopefully ) of one meal a day feasting hiatus - low carb dinner party - prawn and scallopn in saffron lemon and dill butter sauce, sirloin steak wth bernasie sauce sprouts, celeriac, turnip and carrot, strawberries and raspeberries coated in dark chocolate and cream...

Thanks for tagging me on this. I'm actually quite keen on knowing my ketone levels, I find that a cheap breathalyser does reflect ketones fairly well. Currently I am recording blood ketones of 0.5 mmol, ( out £1 per strip) ketonix ketones of 2.4 £150 ish but then unlimited...

I met a doctor recently , specialising in diabetes who told me his FIRST treatment for all diabetics of ANY type was to put his patients on insulin , only later would he consider if they might reduce it a little. The level of ignorance out there is truly breathtaking.

The Jury is still out as to whether or not there is an actual " cure". what is clear is that one can definitely mitigate it very effectively through diet. What is becoming reasonably clear is that its not that some unfortunate people "get" diabetes - its more that the entire human race is...

This chart demonstrates very well why the diet one is looking for should be as high fat as you can stand. I find I can usually get to 60% fats, 20% carbs, 20% proteins reasonably easily, though it looks like even more fats would be better.

http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/health/2017/10/cheap-fatty-meat-blamed-for-pacific-diabetes-epidemic.html This type of stuff is just appalling. the text states "Health specialists say sugary food as well as fatty meat from New Zealand are contributing to a diabetes epidemic in the Pacific...

If you stick to the low carbing, you may find yourself very pleasantly surprised by how quickly things improve, many of us did !

When are you taking the measurements? If you are new to the game, and low carbing, the process takes a while. I found that my numbers gradually dropped down at a rate of 10-20 per month using your measures, its particularly difficult to get a handle on the morning numbers, because if...

Day 22 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6 kg, current 86.6 kg ) Waist size 87.0 cm (starting 94 cm) 1.2 kg on! I assume from returning water weight, I ate about 2000 calories 60% fats and having given into some crisp ended up with 27g om 6compared to 4.6 om 3 ( still less...

@kokhongw has made a great find on his blog https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5131405/ This piece of research shows that when in the presence of high insulin, the human body reacted completely differently to the ingestion of carbohydrates than it did for those with low insulin...

Well yesterday, I tried my old method of dieting , three small meals and I hated it. I felt drawn to the fridge the entire time, my entire being wanted to snack and I ended up eating way more crisps than I should have done. It is quite simply not the way for my body to go and I felt out...

I've applied Butter Bob's charts at diagnosis, 6 months and fasting insulin at diagnosis is a guess - the number is just " sky high " after that all the date is real, red at diagnosis, blue at 6 months, green at 12 months .

Yes another good reason I prefer butter - when I've bought it from a farm shop, I'm pretty sure its real.

Fascinating article from Butter Bob about measuring insulin, which shows you can actually do the Kraft Insulin Assay at home with Meridian Valley Labs. I assume that the timing of the blood spots probably means can't do it from abroad - though might be worth a chat to them as to whether they...
