    VLCD - Liquid vs Solid

    Interesting view, however if you look at the HB1ac graph in the ND research you will see that fasting Blood sugars for entire cohort drops to relatively normal range within 2 weeks. So if you are correct, then your suggestion will move people into normal range in what 6/8/10 days? Given type2 is...

    'Acceptable' BS whilst on holiday

    Thanks all, very comforting to know. I last saw 12 in the very early days before I got to grips with the lifestyle change. Thankfully in the mornings my fasting B/s haven't been above 8.5. Not great but something! It is a challenge to know when to 'relax', and I think I might just be the sort of...

Firstly I tried yoga and pilates, but found after half an hour no change is BG levels. Perhaps being a beginner and watching YouTube wasn't the best. I then bought a...

    Exercise to lower postprandial bg levels

    Hi, post meals my bg levels get quite high. So I've taken to going for a walk/run about an hour after a meal to manage the spike. The only issue with this is when (due to work) it's very late at night or the weather is awful. My flat is far too small for some exercise equipment (and as it's a...
