Just reading my way through Professor Satchin Panda’s book, “The Circadian Code” which claims Time Restricted Eating (TRE) and resetting your sleeping patterns in accordance with sunrise and sunset, offers health benefits including improvements in insulin resistance. Finding it fascinating and...

My doctor advised me that I was no longer diabetic and MyDiabetesMyWay website shows my HbA1c as 5.7% which is my best result in 6 years since my T2 diagnosis! I do WFPB Vegan Monday to Friday and moderate carnivore at the weekend AND I walk 4 miles 6 days a week.

It's on You Tube

Has anyone seen this mini series which is running every day this week and features diabetic Jon McMahon. I've watched the first 2 eighty minute episodes and I am loving it. Can't wait for the next 7 episodes!

Hi, I've got it right now. It's the first time I've had it but I downloaded " The Ultmate Candida Diet" by Lisa Richards. Basically you cut back on sugar and carbohydrates, avoid tobacco & alcohol, take probiotics, take antifungals like garlic or ginger and you also might get Nystan from your...

Hi, I am 70 and I've tried both HCLF and LCHF diets several times over a 6 year period when I was diagnosed as T2. Finally I settled for the Version of HCLF recommended by the brilliant Dr John McDougall and I've never looked back. His book "The Starch Solution" just made perfect sense and the...

I assumed the rest of the UK would have something similar. Maybe if it succeeds in Scotland it will be adopted elsewhere. I'll haves a better idea once my account becomes active. I suppose it will be like online banking and give me greater control and motivate me to manage my diet & exercise...

Hopefully I will be able to see my HbA1c, cholesterol readings, liver function etc without having to visit my GP. Once I've tried it out, I'll have a better idea.

I've just been advised by my diabetic nurse about this service whereby you can register with the NHS and you can access all your blood test information on line. Sounds good. Has anyone else used it?

I saw this mentioned in a recent e-mail and so I bought it. I would just like to say it was absolutely brilliant, telling the story of the Whitington family's amazing blitz on type 2 diabetes to get their dad better! This video is entertaining and motivational. I am T2 but I think even people...

Hi I have been type 2 for 4 years. HbA1c was 8.7% in Dec 13 so went on Starch based, High Carb,Low Fat diet and in Dec 14 got 6% and in Dec 15(last week) again got 6%. Following Dr John McDougal(The Starch Solution)

It didn't go on to say that things will now move forward and that we should expect results after a certain time but it is very interesting.

Well done Saffy. I too was amazed yesterday when my HbA1c was 42 mmol/mol - 6% when it was previously 70 - 8.6% in January. It's all down to the advice in this forum - low carbs plus daily 30 min walks.

Hi Rose, I bought the new book, " Reverse Your Diabetes" by Dr David Cavan 2 weeks ago. It's absolutely full of great advice for diabetics. He recommends a low carb diet!

Thanks Noblehead I'll look it up.

I watched "Trust me I'm a Doctor, series 1 episode 2. About 7mins and 40 secs from the start of the youtube video they did an experiment whereby they cooked pasta,cooled it then reheated it and gave it to 6 volunteers to eat. They then measured the volunteers blood sugar every 15 mins for 2hrs...
