Hi, I've been away for a while - but I'd really love to hear peoples thoughts on treating/improving T2D with Gastric Bypass Surgery. I know it seems pretty severe, but I have done a LOT of research on this, and the improvements are often drastic. Would anyone here consider it?

Hey y'all, I'm injecting Victosa & Lantus. Seems to be working quite well. I've found that splitting it (morning and evening) works really well. BUT - some mornings I'm waking with LOW BG (3.8/4.0mmol/L). So my question is - should I still be dosing up with Victosa & Lantus when I wake? I...

I've started on Lantus. This is in combination with the Victoza that I've been on for 3 months, which, at 1.2mg once daily, was doing nothing. Last night, I took my first Lantus, at the same time (18:00) as my usual 1.2mg of Victoza. I was told to start on 10units of Lantus, but, in my haste...

For those of yout that don't know who he is - he is widely recognised as the Godfather of the House Music movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Knuckles Now - this is exactly the kind of story that I'd like Diabetes.co.uk to write about. He is a public figure that has sadly passed...

I finally got round to making this last night... Absolute TRIUMPH! Bloody lovely, and only 6g carbs/100g of Almond flour/ground almonds. Comes together like a short crust pasty (think REAL Clarkes pie style!) 150G Almond Flour 4 Tb Sp melted Butter Little bit of egg Combine AF and Butter...

Anyone know anything about the differences? For instance - how effective is injected insulin at reducing BG that are elevated due to Glucogenesis? I've got a pretty stressful job, and I wonder if elevated levels of cortisol are leading to hi-BG?

I got a C-Peptide test - the results are: C-Peptide: 18.52 C-Peptide/Creatin Ratio: 2.98 So that tells me that I AM making insulin. (T2). BUT - I have very high Trigs (17.5!!!), so they're putting me on Insulin to get my Trigs down (starting on Lemevir, and then including Novorapid post...

So - for me, the *First and *Second points back up the theory that diabetics should consume extra water. But the *Third point has got me thinking - how do we replace these electrolytes/ions??? It DID remind me of "The Water Cure" (drinking water w/grey sea salt). Perhaps the grey sea salt CAN...

Steak Cheese That is all. :twisted:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20189347 Now - would anyone use this now, that previously would not have, based on the elements that have been REMOVED from it?

:shock: Gobsmacked... Does this mean, those of us with high cholesterol MAY be able to treat it by being in the sunshine???

...I am going to have the last word in this thread. :x

...Rib-eye steak for tea tonight. With fried mushrooms and melted Edam cheese. Just thought I'd brag about it here... :wink:

So - there's no denying that drinking plenty of water is a great way to aid in your battle with diabetes (I presume?)... So - is there any reason not to try other types of hydration? I'm thinking specifically of stuff like Dioralyte. Could this be helpful? I have read that T2 Diabetes is...

I've just finished wk1 of the Commando Diet (Google it). Lost 9.5lbs!!! I'm back down (near enough) to where I was after finishing up the Newcastle Diet last year. Another week to go - then I'm gonna start slowly introducing some fat into the diet. The Commando Diet is low-carb AND low-fat...

Just read this at http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/community ... 066?page=2: It's new to me...

Any T2 got any comments on this? I only ask because since coming off the Newcastle Study Shake Diet, I've found that I am much more sensitive to higher BG's. I was really naughty on Sunday - I had a massive carvery, and I'm ashamed to say, I piled on the roasters and roasted parsnips, and even...

But then, I AM good boy - :angel: Johnts deserves a pre-empive one of these - :clap: - another 8 weeks on Optislim? You're a better man than me, mate! :crazy: I love the suspicious looking ones - I know I'll be using 'em - :problem: :think: Plenty of these - :thumbup: Hopefully...

Anyone heard from Bob/Bowell lately???

Some friends and I are climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa in January. (This is not a joke – I’m really doing it. Bought the boots and everything...). It’s in support of The Penny Brohn Cancer Centre, and in memory of our friend Gary Haynes who died of Cancer in August of last year aged 33...
