A few comments from Dan ( admin) That's the key impassive and neutral mod/mon's, this is what is needed to maintain a healthy debate disagreeing with the moderation team should not be viewed as being anti- forum. On this forum of course, but the knowledgeable members that helped me gain...

This link gives an insight into the role of forum Moderators, perhaps if this was adopted here it would make for less conflict. As far as I'm concerned debate has been stifled here due to over zealous moderation. The real purpose of forum moderators revealed As your forum becomes popular, you...

So just why would you want to exclude Low Carbing :? :? :? , I would have thought it affected all T2s regardless of dietary regimes. If your referring to IanDs contribution the fact that he was pointing out the flawed dietary guidelines which lead to greater expense is a valid point. Back on...

Hi Carol those cholesterol levels are great and gives you a ratio of 2.1 the range is to <4.5 so the high fat diet has turned out ok for you. :D Can't understand why you need to sign for your printouts it's never happened to me, maybe it's down to the practise manager at your surgery. I use...

Hi squishee, it's the Net carbs you should use. Cheers Graham

Hi Carol, my experience is almost a mirror image of yours I was a stone underweight and was put on a high fat diet by my dietitian. I am lucky with my DN though she is far more understanding of my needs, she realises after seeing my food diary and BG records that increasing carbohydrates is not...

A couple of studies that show the benefits of dairy fats :P http://www.springerlink.com/content/k24 ... lltext.pdf Abstract: Full Study http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/6/10/2626/pdf Graham

There's absolutely no reason to be unable to to get enough fibre from a low carb diet, nuts seeds, fruit and veg will provide ample dietary fibre, flax seed at 28g per 100g is one of the best sources. Be careful not to overdo it though, to much fibre can cause stomach pains wind and...

I don't have weight to lose quite the opposite, but despite a high fat low carb diet I still struggle to get back to pre-diagnosis weight even though my calorie intake is far higher. I could resolve this by increasing my carbs and cutting the sat fats but at what cost, I'm still medication free...

All diabetics should get regular blood tests which include kidney function, any irregularities would be flagged up by the lab. I think expert medical opinion is why many of us ended up seeking help on this forum. Graham

Hi Jayemm, I'm surprised admin has not heard of him, Dan until recently was the Administrator on this site. The one thing I'm not sure about is that e-mail address you provided, I have 2 for him one at [email protected] (the owners of this site) and [email protected]. Your wise to...

Well done BB great results you have shown that with the right diet diabetes can be kept in check :D Regards Graham

Fact is between 15 and 20% of T2s (that's as many as many if not more then the total of T1s) are diagnosed with a BMI in the normal range, the problem being we don't seem to exist, the. assumption being all T2s are overweight. Just try to find any dietary advice for those T2s trying to gain...

I've never had to sign since I turned 60, that was 6 years ago :D Graham

I don't think this advice from DUK belongs on any diabetics personal hymn sheet especially a T2. Note "all breakfast cereals are fine" :( http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-dia ... Breakfast/ Graham

Same with me I had similar problems with BG after 2 hrs OK at 1hr :evil: I can't touch cereals full stop, unfortunately even the granola sends me in into double BG numbers at 1hr after. I'm not alone many T2s have a problem metabolising carbs in morning. My meter is now my best friend thats...
