Was it a dry wine (low in sugar) or a sweet wine (high in sugar)? Alcohol tends to keep your liver busy enough to delay any effects of carbs on your body.

Any food or recipe labelled as "diabetic" tends to follow the obsolete no-sugar-but-plenty-of-starch idea of how to make foods good for at least type 2 diabetics. Low-carb diets tend to work better for those with type 2, even though they are harder to start properly.

I've read that doing at least a few tests in the middle of the night should help determine if you are dropping enough at night that you need to look up dawn phenomenon.

I've read that if you want to GAIN weight, the best way to do it is to eat carbs and fats at the same time. So does that 1200 calorie diet include both?

Would that union rep qualify to join DENSA, if they ever get started? Maximum allowed IQ for members is 70.

You could reply to ask at a cattle ranch how the cattle are fattened for sale. It is usually feeding them a diet high in BOTH fat and starch, such as mostly grain. Research has shown that removing EITHER the fat or the starch is sufficient to lose weight, unless there is a very large amount of...

Have you checked the level of carbohydrates in the prebiotic tabs? Do they weigh enough that that weight of pure sugar would have a definite effect on your readings?

I've read that the cause of cramps is often a diet too low in magnesium or too high in calcium. The chlorophyll in green vegetables ALWAYS contains magnesium, so you could add a dark green leafy vegetable to your evening meal. The one I prefer is turnip greens. Dairy products are a main...

If you want to add magnesium to your diet, most of the dark green leafy vegetables are suitable. I prefer the taste of cooked turnip greens. The other green vegetables should also include some magnesium - green in vegetables is usually from chlorophyll, which always has a magnesium atom at its...

I seem to be controlling my t2 adequately.

I've read of ONE verified cure of t1, probably the only one so far. However, it had enough side effects that few of you will want to try that method. Someone had an immune system problem that was expected to kill him in perhaps a year, and also t1. The best treatment available for that immune...

We may need to divide the omega-3 type of fats even further - it seems that the human body is not very good at converting the ALA type into the DHA and EPA types that humans need most. Less that 1% gets converted. http://www.dhaomega3.org/ Cattle are able to convert the ALA type they get from...

I've recently found some information saying that you need to distinguish the ALA type of omega-3 from the DHA and EPA types, because the human body is very inefficient at converting the ALA type to the more useful DHA and EPA types - less than 1% is converted. ALA is useful for controlling...

Re: Fat Tax Yes - you might need to gain weight. A tax on fat is likely to interfere with the most effective method for controlling type 2 - a low-carb diet. And I don't mean the old definition of low-carb that called for more calories from carbs than from either fats or proteins. I mean...
