My health is so much improved after finding this forum and following the low carb high fat lifestyle and I gained so much energy and zest for life I decided I wanted to give something back. So this summer I am joining an expedition on a research sailing yacht to measure plastic pollution in...

Following an article on the guys who wrote "Fixing Dad" I came across this on the sun website. It's an article on childhood obesity and talks about portion sizes. It then shows pictures and description of meals for kids. The meals are terrible. Overloaded with carbs and encouraging people to...

This article came up in my newsfeed and although it's American the reasoning for NHS standard dietary advice is basically the same and this doc also has to go against the grain to successfully treat her patients. It annoys me when 'they' (ADA, NHS etc) come out with the old chestnut of LCHF...

Not really a discussion but just wanted to say how thrilled I was to see Dr Unwin's research featured in 'New Scientist' this month. Although the usual suspects were trolled out to dismiss it - I'm looking at you Alison Tedstone, Susan Jebb et al! I did actually plough through all the reports...

So after 6months on the LCHF diet I decided I should get a blood test to see if it was working. Was pre-diabetic before and unfortunately haven't got an Hba1c from then to compare having been diagnosed by OGTT. I rang for the results and got the usual 'oh they are all normal so there's no...

Interesting discussion with my sister today. She used to work in a hospital lab so had done thousands of fasting blood glucose tests. She had always thought (and been told) that the fasting blood glucose was always the lowest of the day and so was diagnostic of diabetes. I beg to differ...

Oops already posted a few threads before finding this introduce yourself one. Diagnosed as pre-diabetic about 18 months ago (from a GTT after a 'funny turn' that doc was concerned was heart related but no evidence of any heart damage) but didn't really take it seriously. Fasting BG was 6.1...

i read somewhere that it is better to exercise before food and this helps blood sugars normalise faster when you eat. Is this correct? I live by the sea and was trying to get in the habit of a morning swim before breakfast but wondered if it was a good idea to swim without having eaten first...

Saw this advertised online claiming to cure diabetes In about 3 weeks and allow you to eventually add carbs etc back in to your diet. just wondered if anyone had sent off their money and if so what they thought of it?

I was first told I had pre-diabetes a year ago but didn't at that time take it too seriously - was given a few diet notes about eating plenty of high fibre low GI carbs and referred to an education meeting at a local hospital. Life got in the way and i never made it to the meeting. This...
