my latest A1C is now at 4.8. there is no improvement on my anemia but stable.

fittaeda. Sometimes we all go through the same kind of discouraging moments when we're diabetic. One thing I know about this disease is; depression, stress and anger affect the blood sugar level in a negative way as much as eating junk food does. I've gone through all those three mood episodes...

it's D3

Quite true. Thanks

Thanks. This helps.

Hi. I've been taking vitamin D for sometime and today when I saw this video I quickly checked the label on the bottle and found out it contained maltodextrin which has the highest GI on the list. Can anybody tell how much this additive is in the supplement? Did it spike you? Summer is coming...

Yeah, I've the same issue. My diabetes is under control but am also mildly anemic. Been taking Metformin for sometime. It's now over a year since I stopped medication since my last A1C which was at 5.2. My primary physician gave me the option either to see a GI or keep an eye on it if it got...

Exactly. nature and nurture. if one consumes sugary drinks more than his/her parents makes him/her prone to T2

Test your BG an hour or so after snacking nuts. I recommend if you limit your nuts snack total carbs to less than 10g. About a handful. The type of nuts matter too. Note that peanut is not actually a nut. It's a legume(related to peas) and not many people know that. Be moderate with Cashews(so...

Thanks, Indy. Very resourceful

Thanks everybody. I've one more question. Why do doctors tell us to reduce our cholesterol? Does eating foods with higher saturated fat and cholesterol contribute to health issues? Because what some doctors say is different from what I read on the forum and I find that a bit confusing. By the...
