    Mastering Diabetes

    Paul is athletic which has been put to him (Bart Kay) as to why he can cope with the glucose load, I could not eat that way and suspect closer to 100% of Type 2's in remission could not either. This does not detract from the quality of the debate Paul had with Cyrus and Robbie, Digging deeper...

    Mastering Diabetes

    I understand your position and you do not come across as dogmatic. I support your freedom to choose. The program is for both Type 1 and Type 2's, so when the claims are made it is legitimate to state the other side and where the founders are on film record and willfully say things that are...

    Mastering Diabetes

    I tend to look at what happens in the vast majority....as an example on this website, that try thr proposed method. It tends not to work both via the results and using rationale that dosing with sugar for a sugar disease in the case of Type 2 doesn't make sense. Your examples are for Tupe 1...

    Mastering Diabetes

    Just to provide accuracy. The claim the mastering diabetes program improves insulin sensitivity is not proven, and or if accurate might be the exercise component (which is proven to improve insulin sensitivity) - it is stated by the creators, one of whom considers it normal to spike to circa...

    Carnivore Corner

    I have been banned by my children from trying rabbit, so when I was in Morrisons for berries and some yogurt.....but I tend to take a look at the meat and fish area. I noticed Ostrich burgers, took a look at the back and put that back. Next to the burgers were "real" steaks. I took a look at...

    Devastated at diagnosis

    My best friends sister is Pescatarian. During lock down she Zoomed us after getting a Type 2 diagnosis. It took a few sessions of suggested eating to reverse her condition by focusing on fish with low carb vegetables and the removal of booze. It helped that she loves salmon.

    T2DM Hyperglycaemic despite low carb diet

    At this stage all of thr Type 1 tests may need to be done. You might have been in the honeymoon phase previously when diagnosed as Type 2.

    Type 2 Completly confused, low card?, plant based?, limit fruit?, eat lots if fruit?

    "We" tend to make definitions fit what suits us. I measure what works based on what I am ingesting does to my organs and metabolic health as the priority. Then I take into account sensory aspects such as taste, smell and satiety. I do not agree that plant based doctrine is more sensible for...

    Cows milk

    If I were taking "milk" it would be from an animal. I believe that apart from coconut everything else is a juice. Imagine trying to squeeze an almond. The alternative juices add a massive hit of oxilates which influences such as Brian Saunders (and others) have described as problematic in the...

    B12

    Many on this site respond to Metformin questions. I might suggest a mild cognitive dissonance, as words like safe are used, even by the experienced. Even on this short thread, look at the issues some have. I myself had kidney issues. None of these problems are mild side affects. I truly...

    Is it safe to take metformin without a doctor's appointment

    Metformin is no different to any other modern drug. No one can either prove or otherwise the long term efficacy; we only know what we know. It has an effect on diabetes numbers and weight. It is dangerous for those with liver or kidney issues - It should not have a free pass, certainly not as...

    Chip shop chips

    I wouldn't make that claim. I have seen many anecdotes of 5.x HbA1c's and significant reductions in insulin requirements on low carb style diets, especially protein focused.

    Type 1 Statin’s

    I was born without a statin deficiency. When I was a child I saw many relatives past 3 score years and 10, and plenty of friends elderly family members. I would prefer to keep my cholesterol where nature wants it on my ultra minimally processed Ketovore diet. Statins for me would reduce my...

    Was ok but now not so sure!!

    I would return closer to what you were originally eating and dial up the healthy fats (nuts, avocado, cheese if tolerated) and protein. Here's my breakfast today My dinner This has fuelled a 45 minute workout, a day's work. I'm about to go for a walk and then do another 45 minutes at...

    Worried about gastric side effects of Metformin

    There are many more side issues, such as reducing B12 in around 1 in 3, in some causes nerve damage, it alters the gut microbiome, it is contra indicated with liver and kidneys problems - if these risks are acceptable, that's the choice compared to a ten minute walk with only good side effects...

    Worried about gastric side effects of Metformin

    I would use what you were born with, Type 2 diabetes is not a metformin deficiency, I feel it should be a last result. Personally I dropped my fasting blood glucose from 20+ to 16 in 1 week, without knowing what I was doing. My opinion is biased as this drug caused me kidney issues, but there...
