You do not have to post recipes there-most just list the food they have eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks under those or similiar titles-take a look at the thread-I think you could add a lot of good ideas there. (Appetizing pictures are welcome also.)

I think you would need to add many more medications to the list and add some information about starting points-like what HbA1c the forum member started with and some measure of fat/fitness also. I think all of us would agree that embracing the knowledge that carbs cause blood sugars to rise and...

@Terryrhino You can cook for me any day-could you post a few of your menus under Forum>Type 2>What have you eaten today? (Tasty and effective.)

Thanks, I have held out on taking statins for a long time. My uncle who was six years older than me-died of a second heart attack after starting statins and recommended heart diet three years ago. He had all the genetic defects that I do but was much more symptomatic.

Now that was a rational well thought out and researched defense of low carbing. I think this is where we have common ground-which was the stated aim of this thread. I think that a diet that contains a variety of foods with a restricted amount of carbs is sensible.

No, I do not think you should be taking supplements because you are eating well not fasting. The meat intake you showed in last photo on this thread would give you adequate magnesium and potassium for a couple of days. You are getting vitamin C from the tomatoes, bell peppers, cabbage, and...

I do not think you are confused-they disagree on probable causes and you described each position accurately. Do not sell yourself short. You understand much more than you give yourself credit for.

Okay slip I have to defend Terryrhino on this one. It's his thread and although it was distracting it did prove a point- LCHF food can be attractive and inviting. Even us hardcore medium carb medium fat eaters can be enticed to try a meal like that.

Do you get enough vitamin C in your diet? Are you on aspirin therapy? I have used metformin for about 5 years now and do not have this problem. Easy bruising can indicate many different things-I would seek medical advise from my doctor.

Could you possibly have a less biased commentary?-Research on a conventional high carbohydrate, low fat diet does not address how whole wheat bread affects blood glucose or development of diabetes. Conventional high carbohydrate diets often use highly refined White flour-not whole grains. Use of...

FBG: 107 B: Blueberry cereal bar, coffee with 2 ounces vanilla Ensure (we were out of milk) L: 6 Triscuits rosemary and olive oil flavor, 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese spread, half a Fuji apple, water D: last of leftover beef stew, half a whole wheat bun toasted with butter, water Snack: Apple...

@IJL_Glos I keep mine at 6.5 (117 mg/dl in the USA) or above at bedtime and wake to 4.8 to 6.2-(usually in the mid 5.4 to 6.1 range for last two weeks). I have only had one night time low below 3.8 that I know of-last week-it scared me and woke me up in a panic but I had a quick rise in BG with...

Yea!!! You did it. Good job for all your hard work.

Well it happens to people who have had high blood glucose for quite a while but it also happens to some who are fairly well controlled. What stage are you in? High blood pressure can also contribute to kidney damage. Sometimes you can stay in an early stage for a long time. My kidney damage...

I just wondered if that helps you relieve stress. I play a puzzle game, called Sudoku, I find if I work one or two (about 45 minutes total) of them it helps me be less stressed but if I do more my stress and blood sugar levels go up-I find I need to stop and move around-do something in the real...

Good, keep talking to him and keep exercising and working on your blood sugar. Are you still playing video games?

Did you get a chance to talk to him/her about your anxiety?

Are you out of the doctor's office yet?

Thanks, I wish I could have done more to get them out of there faster but that's the best I could do. Are you feeling better?
