I am very interested in this topic which apparently was part of a programme last evening. The idea of your gut bacteria being responsible for blood spikes could very well apply to me. Last June I had a major vascular operation involving my aorta and pelvis. Before my operation the average...

I was on another diabetic regime prior to my operation, insulin and metformin and Glicazide. During my operation I suffered an AKI and because of this, the tablets were immediately withdrawn. Metformin and Glicazide are not recommended where there is a kidney injury. My insulin was changed...

I have been a diabetic since 2007. I have eaten the correct foods for years. My readings prior to my surgery were consistently around 7. My readings post-op are around the 30 mark. You need to read the full thread.
