    BBC Science | Rejuvenation of skin cells (+ cells)

    Thats true I guess, although with my naive enthusiasm, its hard to say how far they could go in resetting and or repairing issues on a cellular level.

    BBC Science | Rejuvenation of skin cells (+ cells)

    Hi folks, im unsure if this is the correct area for this topic, but wanted to share/discuss.

    What was your bg reading last night and this morning?

    Some fantastic readings guys, I would be over the moon with a 7.5 or thereabouts in a morning. Im more like you @Millie_ - where a 9 to 11 would be more average for me, its like my body stores up a week of glucose gathered from anywhere, even small amounts from random foods, and lets it all...

    Artificial sweeteners, for and against

    Zero sugar biscuits, thoughts?

    Thank you, thats some good advice. Ive tried matcha but not in the traditional way, Ive read that it can be great for stabilising levels. Im with you on the deserts, there doesnt seem to be a set answer to satisfy the craving safely.

    Is Type 2 Coronavirus low risk

    Ive been there too, in the early days my hba1c was extremely high, along with some readings knocking on for 20 here and there. This all changed when I understood about carbs more, once I eliminated them as best I could (bread/porridge/oats etc..) my clarity of mind returned, energy, happiness...

    Zero sugar biscuits, thoughts?

    Thats really interesting, good analysis of it all as an overview. Im a way off that but have been trial & error along the way for the past 7/8 years since diagnosis. Running 15/20 miles a week over a few runs boosts my mojo as Ive been feeling really narked and in a dark place since last year...

    Zero sugar biscuits, thoughts?

    Morning folks, I wondered what your thoughts were on these? I know they’re not the holy grail, but wondering whether one with a cup of tea in my day would affect my Hba1c long term, I think I know the answer but wanted to run it past you wise folks. Many thanks [emoji120]
