A really good positive start. You may feel some funny sensations as the sugar comes out of literally every part of you. For a time your eyes may go out of focus, which is where the lenses start to go back to normal. I made Chaffles for my 13.05 breakfast yesterday (3 eggs, strong black bomber...

Can't remember exactly what my Mum received, but I do recall it did at least have bacon; she has done too bad because we take local butcher meats, her favorite being brisket. Why not console yourself in some British history. Just watched the brilliant Ruth Goodman in a re-make of living 500...

That's right. Many don't realise that carbs turn into glucose when eaten. Combine this fact that at every meal carbs are included, it is not surprising that even a meals such as bran flakes with milk and an apple for breakfast, for lunch brown bread cheese and tomatoes sandwich and a glass of...

Hi @Lou83 welcome to a group that you would not have voluntarily become a member of. The good news is that Type 2 is generally manageable and reversable by lifestyle changes, as the underlying condition tends to be something called insulin resistance, that's great news. The perceived downside...

OMG....who, what, where, when. I need this, want it, must have.

What you are seeing is a negative feed back loop, carbohydrate reduction definitely reduces blood glucose. To get a value of the carbs in sugar terms, divide by 4 e.g. total of 48 g of carbs, equates to 12 teaspoons of sugar. If you are aiming for optimum results the majority of foods will not...

Hi Pete, Not quite a sponsorship, but a good proxy is the type of support groups like this can offer. What you are describing is what I call painful diabetes, where the symptoms make you feel like the grim reaper is just behind you. I started with an A1c of 134, and my last was 35.5. I was...

All of the mods are great and interpret the rules as they are. I would like to know that the forum rules are gone through in turn and majority voted on by the mods, otherwise it suggests the rules are perfect and never require a visit.

;)Thank you @Goonergal for this thread. I think it is one of the best I have seen on any forum for several reasons. Firstly, it has reminded me that it is important to be humbled, and put back into the shoes of someone who has just been diagnosed or facing up to their diabetes (or any other...

It is really easy. Eat your normal meal, then add either add something like a tin or 2 of sardines / mackerel in water, an extra portion of meat, a snack size side dish of bacon or bacon and eggs, peanut butter on coconut / cream pancakes, a couple of chaffles (look up Keto versions on...

Yes, good. I think it is helpful for newbies in particular to see what is working.

Great results, could you please share with us what you have been eating.

You may have had insulin resistance over some time, artificially keeping your blood sugars within range. I went down hill very quickly over a period of around 4 to 6 weeks, when I decided to get healthy by eating more fruit, orange, apple juice, home made white flour pancakes, bowls of oats and...

I had to console myself in two meals with some of my favourites. I did match my intake with 7 mile walk and 20 x 155 kg dead lifts over 2 sessions and some other stuff. I did notice less after dinner bloat without the nuts.

Another nail in the coffin. There will be more "yeah but...", "let's start from here", "but if we do a back flip and and triple somersault and the stars align, sat fat will kill you". Dethroning this myth will take alot more than facts or even common sense, as sat fat has to be bad to support...

That's am amount of carbs that perhaps the very best reversed Type 2 might be able to get away with. Assuming you would like to put your Type 2 into possible remission you may need to drop by up to 100%. An easy way to balance out your meals is not to measure initially and focus on the main...

I would agree, with the others. Type 2 is a carbohydrate intolerance condition, so it makes sense to have the least amount possible. If you need ideas on the least damaging carbs let us know.

If there are numbers available it would be difficult to correlate in any event as trials always tend to do something not real world to make sure amounts are perfect, e.g. for protein rather than eating a chicken breast they would do whey. So for carbs they would probably do a glucose solution...

I'm in. I don't know how I going to do it. I've cut down on the nuts from around a breakfast bowl a day, to some on a plate. At least a whole month without nuts....I feel strangely nervous, weird.

@fendertele the science says you just need leucine present whilst hitting failure within the exercised muscle to build, there'll be enough insulin knocking about to get a reaction. I have found this to be true. Carbs are not required....unless you are going on stage and some find mentally they...
