Everyone needs to make their own decisions ultimately, and I can say being raised when and where I was, the message that dietary fats are not strongly linked to serum lipids was a hard one for me to accept emotionally. I've seen some really compelling study results presented in some of Stephen...

Some great ideas. Thanks everyone.

Actually I meant "Looking For". Sometimes acronyms gets in the way...

I just bought some pork belly and am looking for any suggestions. I've never cooked to before. Simpler is better... whatcha got for me?

I just saw at Costco (in Canada) a mayo being marketed as "Keto Mayonnaise". Which is odd since any proper mayo is carb free, or nearly so. It was made with coconut oil primarily.

I'm not an expert, but I'll throw my understanding out there. For best results you need less carbs and more fat in your diets, as well as more calories. Here's why: While you are certainly low-carb, you're not low enough to switch over to burning fat as a primary source of fuel, so your body...

The co-morbidities are not clear-cut. In both China and Italy, where mortality rates are worst, in some regions and at some times, the health care systems were overwhelmed, and care was preferentially given to those with the highest chances of surviving...aka those with the fewest risk factors...

The diet itself is not intended to be maintained long term. That said, Taylor had 2 year follow up studies that showed as long as you maintain the weight loss, the reversal was maintained too. Those who put weight back on were more likely to see a return of their diabetes.

FWIW, the chance of hypo with Metformin is reportedly very low. The stomach issue is more of a concern. My personal experience is that metformin is actually more upsetting to my stomach combined with a low-carb meal than on an empty stomach, so I take it in the AM even if I'm not eating until...

@HSSS has provided very good advice. What I would stress is that new research shows that T2 is not necessarily chronic and progressive. It can often be beaten with a major overhaul of diet. This is not necessarily a quick fix and then go back to your old habits. So if the prospect of a...

@Marie 2 I'm not saying this is or will be your husband, but my experience has been that over time, the level of dietary intervention needed to control my HBA1c has gotten worse over time. In other words, cleaning up my diet a little was enough to put my numbers in a good range in the...

Vegetarian is such a wide class of diets that there's no single answer. What you don't eat in this case (meat) will have less to do with your glucose levels than what you do eat. Keep in mind sugar is vegetarian.

FWIW, my GP knows I'm doing very low carb, keto-ish, and has not recommended stopping jardience.

Note to self: read the whole tread before replying.

I don't eat after 7PM now. I did try setting up IF rules for myself, but I've fallen into a routine now. I do 20:4 about 3 days a week (eating between 3 and 7 PM) , and I do 18:6 about three days a week (1-7pm) . About once a week on the weekend I have breakfast lunch and dinner. So My fast...

I think all the leaders of what I am calling the new wave in T2 research are all converging on a common understanding of this disease. This includes Taylor, Fung, Phinney, Lustig, Ivor Cummins, Halberg, and others. The things they agree on are IMO more important than how they differ from one...

I don't think it's the same thing you are going through, but I have experienced a couple times in the last year temporary vision problems related to glucose control. Mostly I get these problems when, after allowing my BG control to slip over an extended period of time, I make a drastic change...

There is also the Kraft insulin test: https://www.dietdoctor.com/dont-take-away-insulin It doesn't seem like it's all that hard to measure. It's just convincing the medical community that it's valuable.

Just thought I would share. For context, my last blood work was back in August. At that time, my test numbers were creeping up, but my doctor and I decided to "hold the line" on meds at metformin + sglt2. Since August, I have been eating somewhere between SAD and low-carb, but not really...

@Hotpepper20000 From the material I have been watching/reading, I suspect there are a lot of contributors to the insulin problem. Not a complete list, and in no particular order: Sugar. Robert Lustig documents the contributions of sugar (HFCS and sucrose - aka fructose, to be precise) to...
