I’ve been a type 2 diabetic now for 13 years. I have always had elevated, LDL, even before becoming diabetic. Statins made me horribly sick and also contributed to my development of type two diabetes. I cannot take them. I would definitely recommend that you have the blood work done to see if...

There are no “cereals“ that would be low-carb. Not even oatmeal. However, there are cereal look-alikes that are made from different kinds of nuts and seeds that are low carb. They don’t really contain any grains. They are more expensive than common cereals. As diabetics, we have to be careful...

It’s very important to choose meat that is grass fed, wild caught, free range, and organic. The industrial meats that are being raised, processed, and sold to us can be very high in omega sixes, wild beef that is grass fed has a better proportion of omega threes to omega sixes. Also, the...

I do a functional medicine smoothie at 11 AM, have a snack of homemade plain yogurt with my vitamin K2 at 3 PM and then dinner before 6 PM. Dinner consists of quality protein and some non-starchy vegetables. I don’t eat again until the next morning at 11 AM. Occasionally, I will allow myself a...

I am a 5’ tall, 120 lb woman. The doc over dosed me on a full dose of 1000 mg extended release metformin morning and evening, for a total of 2000 mg metformin ER per day. I had multiple lactic acidosis attacks and still my doc didn’t change my medicine. I cut the dose in half, myself. Over the...

If you’re going to use a sugar substitute, use stevia, monk fruit, swerve, xylitol, or erythritol. Avoid Splenda, nutrisweet, and aspartame because these disrupt the gut micro biome. I’ve never heard of any of the good substitutes raising blood sugar and they don’t do that when I use them...

You don’t say how much you weigh, but you need to get as much body fat off of you as you can if you are overweight. I have been diabetic now for 11 years. I am currently working on reversing it with a great diabetes coach, Dr. Mowll. Google him. I have been on a keto diet for over two years now...

I use an Accu-Chek Guide along with the Sugr app. When I test, it transfers my results to the app on my phone and I can see my history. I can also track exercise and what I eat on the app to learn how my blood glucose numbers react to lifestyle decisions I make. I have achieved better control...

Lots of nonstarchy plant foods and exercise! Statins make me really ill. Weakness, extremely low blood pressure, and aches & pains in every joint. I use a product available in the US called Cholest-off and it has lowered my bad LDL cholesterol. The Green Keto diet has raised my good HDL...

This is not rocket science. There are 3 macronutrients: fat, carbs, and protein. The whole food, plant based, no oil vegan diet eliminates two of them. What is left? Carbs. I don’t think there is a diabetic on the face of this earth that can heal by eating mostly carbs. The theory is predicated...

Eat low carb, exercise (it doesn’t have to be grueling exercise, but get your heart rate up for 20-30 min a day), destress, and take phosphatydl choline for the brain fog.

Paleo pancakes (cassava, almond, and coconut flour - BirchBender brand) with sugar free syrup and an egg on top, along with a couple pieces of turkey bacon and coffee!

I take a supplement called Magnifical that has no calcium. Just all the minerals required for your body to utilize the calcium in your diet to build new bone, including K1&2. My bone density has greatly improved in just six months of using it.

Yes, very well done! I don’t know why doctors on both sides of the Atlantic continue to recommend diets with five or more servings of carbohydrates a day! It is so wrong for diabetics. Especially considering that you can get all the carbs you need in a day from nonstarchy veggies, not to mention...

Stop wheat and grains all together and stop the progression of the disease. Live and eat by the results of your blood glucose monitor, keeping your post prandial readings below 170. If a whole apple sends it above that mark, try half the next time. And so on, until you really understand your...
