Got a chuckle out of this. ;)

Well at least it explains why I feel so much better when I low carb which for me is no grains. It also may explain why my arthritis is so much better when I don't eat grains. I hope everyone has a great christmas.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen explaining how to do a low carb diet. It tells you what to eat and what not to eat and why. Hope it helps :wideyed::p

After waiting 4 months I finally had an appointment with an endocrinologist. What a joke. He informed me that I am overweight. Really? I had not noticed :wideyed: Then he told me that although I had lost 30 pounds on a ketogenic diet that I would be unable to lose weight and keep it off because...

I found this article to be interesting and thought I might share it with you folks. http://robbwolf.com/2012/03/09/paleo-diet-inflammation-metformin/

I was just wondering if anyone taking omega3 capsules has a problem with everything tasting slightly fishy? It is especially bad if I burp. I hate fish lol.

Hi all just had a fantastic thanksgiving dinner here in Canada and I thought I would share the menu with you. We have 2 of us doing a low carb diet and there were 8 other people not low carbing. This dinner made everyone happy. Roast turkey Smoked pork picnic shoulder in the slow cooker...

Hi all, I just got my 6 month A1c and it is 5.8 !!! I have been having so many issues lately with erratic BG and DP and you all have helped a lot. I still want to get it a bit lower but I am just so happy to be in the normal range. I have also struggled with weight and I am down 30 pounds. This...

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. I used my shiny new toy when I got home right after I had my extremely low carb lunch and got a reading of .4 :( which after 5 or so months of very low carb was disappointing. However my blood glucose at the time was 6.9 due to...

I just need to rant and whine. Nothing seems to be going right. I am VLCHF (less than 20 gram per day) and yet I can't seem to get my sugars in line. I take my meds (metformin er and forxiga). I am barely eating anything any more and yet not losing weight. I landed in the hospital a week ago so...

Hi all. I am not sure what is going on. My BG is creeping up and I don't know why. My fasting is back up to the low 7's and during the day I can't seem to get it even in to the 5's. I eat less than 20 grams carb per day, weight loss is pretty much stalled again, I get enough fat and I am not...

I live in a small town in Western Canada. I went for my doctors appointment today and mentioned to my doctor that I had been watching a series of videos by a professor Tim Noakes that I found via a UK forum (thanks @Indy51 ). Turns out my family doctor, who is from South Africa, studied under...

Was not sure where to put this but there has been a lot of spam lately and I had a suggestion. Maybe one of the moderators could pass it on. Other forums on many subjects often restrict new accounts so that the first couple of posts must be approved by a moderator before they appear. I know that...

Hi all, I am wondering if the folks that have tried or are taking victoza could tell me what their experience was like. I would like to hear both the good and the bad as my doctor has mentioned it. Thank you

I have IBS which causes sudden explosive diarrhea when I eat, I also have no gall bladder which causes chronic diarrhea due to bile salt malapsorption. My doctor just raised my metformin up from 1000 to 1500 mg and told me to take 1 pill in the morning and 2 with dinner. Nope, just, nope. After...

Hi all I have what has been assumed to be diabetic neuropathy of my right foot only. It is not my back, this has been checked. The main symptom is numbness. Over the last 3 months with meds, a low carb diet, and supplements it has improved somewhat. What I am wondering is if anyone has...

I have been thinking and making connections that I am not sure are valid. I am looking for opinions here not diagnosis. I was first diagnosed with type 2 11 years ago but just over the line so to speak with an A1c of 7 or so. On the same day I was told that I had gone from a normally cycling 37...

Hi all Like many other diabetics I watched my slim 170 lb husband eat half a bag of M&M's this evening and asked if I could test him about 45 minutes or so later. I got 11.4 and he informed me that it was wrong. Went and got a wet cloth and made him wash and dry his finger before testing again...
