    New Scientific approach to Type 11 Diabetes?

    I think this new approach could radically alter the treatment of T2 diabetes. Having read the article they are saying it's a way to reset the bodies interaction with Carbs by removing the mucus layer in the small intestine therefore forcing it to be rebuilt but without the Insulin resistance...

    Can anyone tell me ...

    As mentioned above, I think its the height and length of the spike that combined make the problem. I've just had my latest HBa1C back and I'm now at 45, so in the pre-diabetic range. This is from a peak of 100 when first diagnosed and then 70-80 under the NHS "healthy eating" plate... I've got...

    Doctor in the House

    I thought it was firmly in the stereotypical perception of T2 diabetes and so played nicely into the hands of the "eat **** get T2" crowd. That said the advice was still sound, remove carbs, particularly processed carbs, go for a walk regularly and generally cook for yourself. I look back at...

    LOW CARB SUCCESS STORIES

    I think I can now be added onto the list of successful low carbers :) Had a HBa1c test done the last week in August which was 80 and was advised to start taking another set of tablets.

    BBC1 Thursday 21:00 Doctor in the House...

From August bank holiday I've cut out most carbs, followed LCHF diet and after reading Dr Jason Fungs blogs about fasting reversing (or at least controlling) T2, have done 1-2 days a week of full...

    Blood readings

    Hi Andy, Looks like you have it set for the US readings? There is a useful converter here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html What is a good reading depends on what type of diabetes you have, I'm guessing type 2 as you've posted in that forum. Your reading converts to 7.6...

    HFLC diet does it work for type 2

    Yeah it seems to be working for me. I spent 12 months trying the NHS healthy plate options and it didn't make any difference to the blood sugars, didn't lose any weight and had the doctors saying we need to add extra meds to bring down the blood sugar, read Dr Cavans book on how to reverse...

    Yeah porridge is off the menu for me. I went from a fasting level of 6 to 15 after a bowl of porridge... Shame as I love the stuff. :/
