Thank you very much and I will surely enjoy my retirement. Tom

Thanks actualy lookin at what others are doin and I have found a lot of stuff that I knew nothing about has helped. I have used lots of info from this forum that has helped me refine my diet i.e. coming off statins was one of them and restricting my carbs slightly another, dont normally have...

When first diagnosed I looked about on the net and found the Atkins Diet pretty similar to what most of the people here do now with their LCHF diet I have the utmost respect for what they are doing . Was on 4 x 500 metformin at that time it got reduced to 2 x 500 because the results were good I...

Thanks very much wasn't really expecting it to be as good as it is. Might be a couple of changes I made recently that has helped. Retired in July and had plenty of time on my hands so could get out for walks. Also I stopped taking statins. :) Tom

I have done as requested. I never noticed that thread of yours before and it is a really good thread as you say lets people know that there is options out there. Tom

Went to the mydiabetesmyway website to see if my blood results were back. They were better than I could have hoped for. I have been doin a Resistant Starch diet for a little over a year now. On this diet I have been eating aprox 1500 to 2000 calories. Macro breakdown Carbs 150- 200 grams Fat...

@HSSS Sorry took a lil time to get back to you was looking for my original post on resistant starch. It can be found here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/resistant-starch-and-diabetes-my-story.136493/ Have a good read through the thread there are quite a few links in the posts there...

Thanks guys. Yes I think the big difference is that most days I do over 12000 steps. My wife bought me a fitbit charge3 in july and that has helped greatly with tracking what I do and also the diet side of things. :) Tom

Soak them overnight and take them cold next day. Heating them removes the RS.

@Nexus6 What are you putting in your oats? 11:00 am have, I use Jumbo Oats around 40 grams. 2 Tbsp Chia seeds. 1 heaped Tsp true ceylon cinnamon (not the normal supermarket stuff which is made with Cassia) Alpro unsweetened coconut and almond milk enough to cover the oats by 1/4 inch. After...

Really green bananas are really high in RS but taste awful. I generally have semi green. Don't go too hard at the potato starch as it could give wind and stomach cramp. Would suggest having a teaspoon before eating and cut back a little if it gives the cramp.

@Nexus6 Never took BG readings when I started doing the diet, I just relied on Hba1c tests every 3 months to show that it was working. So I really don't know how quickly it works, tho' I suspect it works reasonably fast as in the first 3 months it brought my Hba1c down from 76 to 54.

It's my experience so far although farting quite a bit when I started there was no smell. So just do quiet ones and no one will know :) Also the gas goes away through time.

If you are going to use potato starch remember to take it gradually, i'd recommend starting with a teaspoon before each meal. The reason for this it can give you gas and possibly stomache cramps as your body gets used to it. It really depends how good your gut microbiota is. It is also a good...

Never tried with tomato juice but should be ok. Might be a funny colour tho as the powder is white just like cornflour.

There is no taste to it. You can have it with whatever you like as long as its not hot. Heating up potato starch removes the resistant starch.

Potato starch is very high in resistant starch 60% So 2 level tablespoons are approx 24 grams (i weighed them) this is approx 16 grams resistant starch. And its the resitant starch that helps stabilise BG.

@rosco 2 I take potato starch before my meals and this helps to stabilise BG preventing spikes. I done an experiment yesterday to see how well the potato starch works. Took my BG and it was 6.0 Took 2 tablespoons of potato starch in a glass of water. Then ate a Mars Bar one of the ones that...
