I am prediabetic. I started using ACV everyday about 4-5 years ago. I started using it because I have frequent stomachaches. I think it has balanced the ph levels in my stomach because I no longer have stomachaches. I can't say if it has helped to prevent diabetes or manage my weight. I can...

Makes sense to me!

Hello, Pre-diabetic here. I've been using a little Pure Via stevia to sweeten my teas and protein drinks. I just read that this brand is not pure stevia and is the same as consuming pure sugar. I honestly have never noticed any glucose spikes after consumption. Article said that NuNaturals and...

Does anyone know if Honeybaked Hams roasted turkey breast without the honey coating is processed meat? I have researched this for months and still can't find an answer. I have asked the employees. One says yes and the other says no. Help from anyone would be appreciated.

You're the second person I've heard, this week, say they are afraid of longevity. I'm looking forward to living to a ripe old age! I found Dr Patrick on Twitter. Saw some interesting advice that validates that I'm not doing too bad at taking care of myself. Wahoo!

Great video! She read similar info to me from Fuhrman's book who someone twisted this into eggs being an offender. According to Dr Patrick, I'm doing the right things. I tried to subscribe to Dr Patrick's site, I guess it is, but screen just kept going blank. I'm going to search for her on...

I totally agree with you. I stopped trusting his 'opinions' years ago. On the egg issue, I've found so much evidence to the contrary. I trust this site much more than I trust his 'opinions.' This site has helped me more than doctors, etc. There are so many proven successes and a wealth of...

I eat no red meat. I'm not a vegan and eat, sometimes, 2 boiled eggs daily. A friend told me today that Dr Furhmann's book on preventing diabetes says eggs are bad. I didn't quite understand the explanation. Something to do with an insulin like growth factor. No idea what that is. Anyway, my...

Hi Eileen. Excellent advice in this forum. I learned what to do to prevent diabetes and what questions to ask my doctor. Just follow the advice of these wonderful people and you'll do fine. There's advice here that your doctor will never tell you.

I drank a cup today and my tummy expanded like a balloon. I felt stuffed and miserable. I didn't check if it spiked me. But I agree with you both. I can continue to get the benefits from other foods with less sugar and carbs. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

I read that pomegranate juice helps LDL, hardening of the arteries, prevents heart disease if you drink 1 cup for 3 months. Although high in sugars, it does not worsen diabetes markers, such as blood sugar levels, in the participants with diabetes. 1 cup of juice is about 38grams of carb. Does...

T I am also having trouble keeping my weight up. Do you know the number of fats you eat daily? I don't eat red meats, it makes my stomach hurt, and I hate chicken. But I do love salmon and I frequently roast a turkey. My biggest issue is keeping my carbs at 20. I frequently eat about 40...

Congrats.

Ok. I went on low carbs. I have now lost too much weight. I don't know how to eat more without increasing my carbs. But I really need to regain about 5 more pounds.

Can't find anything regarding supplements on the site. What's everyone's experience with taking them. I've taken chromium picolanate and salmon oil for many years for hypoglycemia. I've continued to take them. I was reading a lot about biotin, alpha lipioc acid and CLA. Does anyone take these? I...

Cannot find the edit button to edit my comments. Lol. I use either low carb Dutch chocolate whey protein or zero carb unflavored whey protein. Ok. I think that's it.

I also use unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk.

I use mine to make green protein smoothies for lunch. I do not use fruit. I use a little stevia. I blend spinach or kale; cucumbers; avocado or grass fed butter; raw cacao; organic cinnamon; hemp hearts; chia seeds; a little stevia; ice cubes. I get very favorable results. I love the taste. But...

I think I'm eating enough now, because I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I'm getting 1400-1500 cals daily and 20-30g carbs. I occasionally eat an Atkins bar and have found no spikes after eating it.

Thanks Rillum. Didn't take it early this morning. Took it early afternoon after doing about 7 hours of strenuous housework. It was at 5.7. So I'm starting to understand that it is also any kind of activity will help insulin perform better.
