During my diabetes journey I always have to square off controversial matters to my own satisfaction. I have a mantra to not ever again outsource my health to someone elses belief system without checking for myself, especially as I have influenced my family and friends choices . I am happy with...

I would research the latest facts around this matter. Not conspiracy theories just hard facts. It is interesting that things that were banned on YouTube (within their terms and conditions) have been quietly dropped about what can be said. We advised my son in his early 30's and our daughters...

Your title is "Healthy Eating", hence why I feel it is ok to have a view. I am Type 2 but food ultimately affects us all in general in similar ways. If you eat in a manner that non-diabetics eat you are likely to get the results they get, both physically and mentally; at this stage using...

I used to test a lot. I think it is a good feed back mechanism for those on a Keto diet in the beginning. I question long term testing due to cost / reward in my case., as my low readings I am educated is proof of usage, after starting with mid-range values.

Judging by the tone of your post, I feel you will hit the right notes. I talked to my younger brother a few years ago about his dietary patterns, which resulted in him not talking to me for many weeks. Then last year he asked me for help with his daughters total weight. He has since taken up...

I live 7 miles from Harwich in a straight line, I used to live on London and know Birmingham well due to my daughter playing football there. Anyway for the Harwich part, I can recommend these, which are all around 20 minutes away in a car, Miller and Carter - 342 London Rd, Stanway...

We have to be careful with remission, in some regions there are differences to thresholds. Staying in remission is like being tennis world number 1 year after year, diabetes is just a rampant as younger players trying to take the crown. Diabetes does not take a day or minute off. My view is...

The above answers could be right for you. This is a very strange condition for some to the point of wanting to scream at times. For example I used to have fasting blood glucose in the low 5's, I was wondering how some were getting 4's. I kept trying different things such as removing oats...

My experience was that my fasting blood sugars went from close to 4 to over 16 on the steroids. My A1C went up 2 points and has stayed there for 6 months so far, but my post prandial now is stabilised to my usual circa 0.9 to 1.6 ish. My strength / endurance is around 90% of my very best. I...

I agree there are different diabetes types, but I think the word "work" should be defined. The approach gets the A1c by as the contributor stated slamming down the glucose to low levels. This is achieved with higher amounts of insulin under the curve to counter act the massive spike. So is...

They shou;d be ashamed of themselves. I hope they provide a meaningful gesture.

Your situation sounds similar to other addictions such as involving drink or drugs. Cutting to the quick I would go for route 1 help via someone such as Dr Jen Unwin i.e. expert help. When I had my diagnosis I began to prepare for death within months, as I had many complications and felt...

What's ahead is mostly in your hands. It is one of the non-communicable diseases / conditions that irrespective of the type of diabetes (1, 2, 1.5 etc) you can do something about from management to potential remission. I have been in NHS Type 2 remission for over 5 years, when at first I did...

Your response is so refreshing by prioritising your health over dogma - excellent, some put ideology ahead of survival. My background is West Indian (Jamaican), this means that all food types from starchy yams, to meat, fish, fruit, beans, greens, literally everything I grew up on, so have had...

Hi @krishk you do not have to take Metformin as a first resort, in my view this should be last. My best friends sister is a Pescatarian, who my wife and I helped put her Type 2 into remission on low carb vegetables, various fish and eggs. If you do not do fish then it might be more challenging...

hmm I question if regular levels of carbs can be eaten, that I think would be over 200 grams of carbs a day and unless they were wfpb would tend to lend towards ultra processed foods - I will believe it if maybe 3 or 4 persons pipe up and send results (one potato will not cut it, proper portions...

How did we ever survive without statins, what a god send. I am so glad the explorers found the statin tree, picked the fruit and saved us all. Seriously as with all of these things they want to do the let's start from here, They can mislead those who have not followed the history of the...

More of this please. If channels are going to have Dr Aseem Malholtra as the counter balance to the "mad" Carnivore diet, long may this continue. I know Shawn did not get through the scope he trailed in an earlier vlog, but just getting his anecdotal message out and having this backed by Aseem...

Exercise is in my opinion a secondary modality for managing diabetes and health in general. I love exercise and do use this to top off my Ketovore dietary regime almost everyday. I have over trained in the past and pushed too much. Once a baseline of fitness has been built up, maybe by...

I would objectively test. The best results I have had are on a static bike. I would be dripping with sweat, and this was the first sign for me that diabetes can be reversed (8.x to 4.x mmol/l) drop after 45 minutes. I do walk everyday as a maintenance routine, but it is hard to generate as...
