Hi All I can tell you is that I have been taking Curalin for ages and I am still in the non diabetic range even though my carb intake isn't very good. I also still take 1 metformin but I have found that the Curalin seems to get my sugar levels down much quicker when I've had a high carb meal. I...

Hi Just to let you know I've been taking Curalin for 2 years now and it works for me. My blood sugars are now in the normal range even though I'm not perfect with my carb intake and diet. It is quite expensive at £59 for one bottle but it does work and I have had no side affects.

I'm glad to see someone else is on the same page as me. I'm down to 2 tablets a day and my sugar levels have been in the normal range for quite sometime now. Cheers Mallins

Yes I totally get your point. I'm going to see the pharmacist today to make sure that the ingredients do not affect my other medications and ask them if it is safe to take long term. According to the Curalife website they have FDA approval for this product which presumably means that some...

Yes I have had great success with the LCHF diet. I have lost 3 stone in weight since being on it but since moving to the Exeter area my social life has taken off and I'm eating out more and that's when the willpower goes out the window and I end up getting high sugar spikes.

Well of course that would be the ideal but unfortunately my willpower obviously is not as good as yours. I do actually follow a low carb diet when the willpower is good and I use a diabetic portion control plate. I also use the diet doctor.com website but of course it's the days when I'm not so...

I take one metformin in the morning but my problem has been if I eat any carbs at lunchtime or at my evening meal my sugars really spike and I didn't want to increase my metformin so I have been taking these tablets one after lunch and one after my evening meal and they are definitely working...

Hi I just wondered if anyone has heard of a company called CuraLife.co. They produce a natural herbal supplement called Curalin which helps to regulate blood sugar levels I thought I'd give it a try because since moving to the Exeter area my sugar levels have been increasing basically due to...

Totally Disgusted I have just moved house from Northamptonshire to Exeter so when I requested my repeat prescription at my new surgery I was told that they did not give type 2 diabetics test strips and needles as type 2 diabetics do not need to test. When I explained that I received them at my...

Hi What works for me is following a low carb high fat diet. A good site to try is www.diet doctor.com You will find lots of good information on what to eat with lots of recipes. I also use www.thebloodsugardiet.com site which also has loads of recipes. I hope this helps. Cheers mallins

I was told by my diabetic nurse not to test because if I got a high reading it would only put my blood pressure up! She also said I shouldn't go on a low carb diet. After doing a lot of research on the diabetes site and internet I decided to ignore her and I went on the 8 week blood sugar diet...

We're in the Costa Azahar a place called Torre Blanca which is a very Spanish resort about 1hr from Valencia. I should probably try to stay out there for longer periods as they say their diet is better for you. I have to say the local market is fantastic for fresh fruit and veg so having loads...

I will have to look out for that butter next time I'm at my home in Spain. I've had the acorn fed Iberican ham and that is delicious but I haven't come across the butter when I've been out there. We usually bring loads of olive oil home too. The thing is because I've been programmed for years...

Hi everyone thank you all for your comments and support. I have to say that I'm still trying to get my head around the LCHF diet not so much the low carb part but the high fat part especially having been told for years to follow a low fat diet and have been doing that for years to no avail. It...

Hi everyone Well after sounding off a few weeks back about not being able to stick to the 8 week blood sugar diet and only lasting 4 weeks on it. I decided to just cut back on the carbs and try to stick to a LCHF diet and my diabetic portion plate. Today I have just had my results from my 3...

yep you've hit the nail on the head. I know what my problem is it's just addressing it! I try to keep to max 35g carbs a day but like you it's when I indulge too many times that everything goes haywire. Basically it's a problem with the old willpower. I know I can do it when the head is in the...

Wow...... thanks for that. I'm surprised it's used in the Dukan Diet as that's supposed to be low carb.

Thanks Chris I think I'll do that. I guess it's all trial and error.

Thanks It's just that I had the feeling oatbran was quite high in carbs and that the Dukan diet was a low carb diet so I'm a bit confused. They have a recipe for pancakes that I wanted to try out but not sure if it will spike the old sugars!
