    Could A Keto Diet Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease?

    @Mbaker it's mind boggling to think how many people's lives have been changed for the better by Jason Fung and others like him. I'd definately add Terry Wahls to that list. I alternate between eating 2 or 3 meals a day, and go for long walks daily or every other day. This makes it possible to...

    Could A Keto Diet Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease?

    The reason I posted this is because there is NO treatment for PKD, only kidney transplant. It slowly kills you. NO supplements needed. Just follow a keto diet, which I've been doing for 5 years. All lab work improved dramatically, as did my husbands, and he doesn't even have diabetes. Think...

    Approved Quick Survey/Quiz for Diabetes II research Project

    @JonathanPAstudent I live in the US - (this is an international diabetes website). I'm also struggling with question 6. The US and UK have the same A1c range for diabetes, but not for "normal" and "pre-diabetes" A1c levels. The A1c ranges used in the UK for diagnosis can be found here in the...

    Is it possible Trump is speaking out in opposition to voting with mail-in ballots because he's counting on a vaccine by October to improve his chances of being elected in November?

    COVID 2019 Comorbidity with Diabetes

    Thanks for all the articles posted today. The idea of shielding diabetics concerns me. In the US, it was reported last year that only 12% are metabolically healthy, and that 52% of adults have diabetes or pre-diabetes now. Not sure how that "shielding" us could even be possible. Also...

    COVID 2019 Comorbidity with Diabetes

    @Debandez thank you for sharing your story and test result. So interesting. I was talking with some friends a few days ago, and they, like me, had the "flu" in November. They both went in to have the antibody test done, but it came back negative. For a variety of reasons, they think something...

    COVID 2019 Comorbidity with Diabetes

    I wish I had a "not funny" icon to click on. America is so polarized now. It's gotten so bad, I don't just read online news articles and trust that the information is correct, I also read the comments section, then I read further on the topic from a variety of news sources. With everything I...
