What would you say to someone who asked you if you had your time again, what would you have done differently? What do you think would have prevented the onset of your T2 diabetes? Alison

Had a brief scan of this forum and the search engine did not pull anything up. I am not going to put a link in, suggest you do a G##gle yourself for "Hungry for Change" and take advantage of the free 6 day chance to watch this. It is a must for all who want to make a change. Think that most...

Large areas of NSW, Australia are currently underwater due to flooding. My district responded four Rural Fire Service tankers to assist and I abandoned a busy week to attend. As I only had less than 2.5 hours to prepare, low carb food prep was out of the question let alone stuff that would...

Suddenly had a hankering for a coffee cake. I use a basic base for a cake/muffin. 1 cup ground almonds/almond meal 1/2 cup dessicated coconut 2 tsps gluten free baking powder 3 Tbsp sweetener (xylitol) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans mix together thoroughly Add 3 large eggs 3 Tbsps oil...

What would you confess to that is off your personal diabetic limits? Nothing X-rated please.

There are no words for this. Another recent event that will change the world forever. Heartfelt condolences to the Japanese and the international people who were there at the moment.

So it appears that there really was research happening over the last two years about the link between a high carb diet and T2. I would be one of those referred to who has no family or genetic link to diabetes http://www.medicine.usask.ca/academic-u ... betes.html Alison

Keep this to our low carb selves. Many of us have found this to be so true. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38528158/ns ... nutrition/ Low carbing causes weight loss and increased 'good' cholesterol. It did for me. Alison

Just thought that it might have been a great idea to have explained that there was to be a spring clean of all posts BEFORE it happened, for greater clarity and understanding. Also, a suggestion to cut down on duplications that take up space- when a new member posts their intro, invariably they...

1 cup Almond meal 1 cup dessicated coconut 1/2 cup Linseed/Flaxseed meal 4 eggs 1 tbsp baking powder 4+ tbsps oil 4+ tbsp cream or coconut milk 1/2 cup smashed pecans or walnuts 1 grated carrot 1/2 teasp nutmeg, 1 teasp cinnamon, 1/2 teasp ground ginger zest of a lemon would have been super, I...

Does anyone brew a low carb version of beer at home? I used to brew all sorts of beers but cut out alcohol as I believe it was the cause of my neuropathy not an HbA1c of 5.9 at diagnosis. My husband and I have been enjoying a small commercially bought low carb beer on our really hot days and I...

When dx'ed with T2 my total cholesterol was 4.4. I knew nothing about any of the other figures then. I began low carbing with raised fat intake along Atkins and Bernstein style and refused my statins thinking I would rather have my neuropathic feet attached when I died of "cholesterol overload"...

Recently my husband asked for a print out of all his BG test results which the doc happily gave him. 2006 his fasting level was 5.8 a month later he was sent for a FGTT. His fasting level was 5.5 then his reading 2 hours after the glucose drink was 3.4. 2009 his fasting level was 6.0 so he was...

I have T2. Previously I was told "impaired". "You can control this with diet and exercise". I became a real T2. I found this forum and thanks be, I no longer have "symptoms of diabetes". My husband, at the same time as I, had a dodgy FBG also. He went on to be "fine", while I didn't. Now...

Little hiccup. I have posted before about my T2 success, weight loss (low carbing) and am into my 5th week of travelling around Australia for 4-5 months with caravan, dog and husband. After a glorious day trip to the Tiwi Islands (just off Darwin, Northern Territory) I developed severe pain...

Had routine tests and advised I was in the impaired range. Had had numb feet for about 3 years. No family history of diabetes, complacent, assumed my diet was healthy as I ate lots of salads straight from my garden. Drank lots of alcohol. Six months later told that after FGTT I came in .1...
