    Syndrome X

    I've recently bought two books on this subject, but only thumbed through them, got to the section about vitamins and minerals and bought the ones they recommended. Are there any forum regulars who have been following the Syndrome X guidelines for some time now and if so, what results are you...

    Type 2 diabetes can be reversed by eating 600 calories a day

    I've just read about this study from Newcastle University. Does anyone have a weblink to a diet sheet for this? I'd love to give it a go as I need to lose at least 3 stone and this could well help me achieve it AND reverse T2 at the same time

    Diabetes in Monkeys

    I don't know if anyone else saw a programme the other week about animals in zoos and various breeding programmes they were doing by zoos throughout the world co operating with each other and swapping animals for mating? There was a UK zoo (in London I think) that got a new male monkey from a...

    How can it be this easy?

    I don't visit the forum as regularly as I used to as I appear to have my BG pretty much under control now. Pre diagnosis I used to "nod off" after a big meal; which I now know was to due to a large carb intake. I'm more or less a good boy now, only occassionally having some chocolate or junk...

    I'm confused

    Forum regulars will know that since my diagnosis at the beginning of this year I have changed my drinking habits.
