I only watched the first 5 minutes and then switched it off as it doesnt interest me in the slightest. The line in the videos "about" introduction was too misleading to have been of any benifit. "Metformin is considered the gold standard medication for type 2 diabetes and for many years I said...

I know that raised cortisol levels caused my T2 diabetes as I was a long term user of the corticosteroid 'Prednisolone' so you might just be on to something here as Steroid Induced Diabetes (SID - no relation) is well known and documented, I suppose it could be likely that anything else that...

If your post breakie numbers are rising that would indicate that your liver and muscles are releasing glycogen the way to stop this would be to eat a small amount of carbs for breakfast and this should stop your body compensating for the lack of instant energy available only from carbs. Try...

Why not try the coleslaw and test your bg levels before and after eating it that you will know if it is OK for you, no one here can tell you what is in the coleslaw sold in your market only you can find that out, by testing. Test, test and test again, its the only way you will no for sure and...

Hi pasiphae1953, good luck for your gp appointment on the 27th, there are many diabetic drugs that can be prescribed instead of metformin which many have problems with and some like yourself just cant take due to diarrhoea and sickness problems. Metformin is also not very effective at lowering...

A gaming element? Perhaps a bonus for every year I survive.... I would pick another app if I were you, you clearly have no idea what it is like to live with diabetes.

There has clearly been a mix-up of some sort but when you inform the DVLA of any medical change that may affect your ability to drive it is standard practice for them to send out a form asking for details of your condition and they then make a decision based on your replies, if you do not reply...

Sorry to hear of your fall, it sounds excruciatingly painful. Codeine is an opiate and can cause nausea and also constipation but its a very effective pain killer and needs to be taken regularly as prescribed for the best results, your GP can also prescribe you a laxative and Cyclizine for your...

A 13 year old study, it would be more use to know if any of the subjects continued with the diet and or have managed to maintain their weight loss, other wise all this shows is that diets work in the short term.

It used to be common for some eBay sellers to offer items at low prices but with high postage and packing as they only paid commission on the sale price p&p so were saving money but eBay realised what they were doing and now commission is charged on the full price inclusive of p&p so I dont...

Please show me where I have defended that 60% of cals be carbs? Ive never ever said that and after 8 years of non diabetic bg levels I still eat a low carb diet, I just get upset when facts are distorted to make a point that was not intended.

@kokhongw & @BrianTheElder CHO over 50% of cal is harmfull is NOT the same as "carbs are harmful". What it means is too many carbs are harmful...Just as too much protein or fat is harmful too. Fake news ;)

Thanks that was a very interesting presentation but where was it that he mentions your quote that "carbs were harmful"? I heard him say that when carbs were eaten in excess 55% of diet that there was a steep increase in cardio vascular disease (2.14 minutes) and I also heard him say that too...

Like i said ill never convince you so,,,,,,,bye :)

You could try testing different portions of potatoes and rice and find out what size portions you can eat, it may only be a spoonfull of basmatti rice or one or two small roast or baby new boiled potatoes but small portions are better than none. I lost weight and controlled my diabetes without...

Hi DD I have been using Bu-trans patches and lately Transtec patches which contain the drug bupronophine so I imagine the plasters you are talking about are similar, they are generally not prescribed to patients who are opiate naive because of the side effects if you are not used to opiate pain...

there are many reports and studies that should how eating a high fat diet can affect your weight and cholesterol, I had hundreds of links but after making a decision not to get involved in pointless arguments again I deleted them several months ago when I started posting here again. I know I...

I can only say what I experienced, it didnt happen overnight or after a week or a month and it wasnt easy, I didnt have a single drink for over 4 or 5 months and I was very strict in my diet for about a year, I was on insulin at the time so had to count carbs and was eating around 60g a day, no...

@wiseowl_123 try not to worry about your retinopathy test they are slightly uncomfortable but definitely not painful but the drops are essential for dilating the pupils to enable the camera to get a good shot of the back of your eye. After the drops nothing else touches your eyes at all, the...

Hi fatentomms, if you can lose weight you should be able to keep diabetes at bay. It is visceral fat around your body organs which causes insulin resistance and if you can lose enough weight to lose this visceral fat then you should be able to achieve non diabetic bg levels for as long as you...
