I just wondered if anyone has tried this? I take Glycox 500 (Berberine) every day and when I went to buy some more from Amazon, it suggested this. I did a little bit of reading and as with most suppliments it promises the earth and some of the reviews look promising but I am sceptical! If it...

Over the last 3 years my HbA1c has risen steadily although not hugely significantly from 5.3 to 7. I eat a LCHF diet and take 1000mg Metformin SR per day. I suggested to my GP that perhaps I could try the Newcastle diet to see if I could get the levels back down or give them a head start. She...

I've been attempting the Newcastle diet for 2 weeks now and so far have found it remarkably easy with no great hunger problems. Although in the first week I would have sold my soul for a piece of cheese. What I would like to know is: if the object of the diet was to significantly reduce the...

Hi Everyone, This might seem like an odd problem but I wondered if I was alone with this of not? Last night I was due to sing in a big concert and was really looking forward to it - weeks of practice and all that! I felt absolutely fine all through the afternoon rehearsals and had only eaten...

Has anyone tried taking bothe Gymnema and Cinnamon together to try and lower bg levels? I have read people have had success buy using them but should you ever take them together or would that be operation overkill? Any advice would be great.

Hi Everyone, I am very new to testing as my doctor doesn't advocate it but after finding this forum I bought a tester. I have been keeping a very accurate record for the last few days but there are a few things I don't understand. Yesterday, 2 hours after lunch at 3pm, my reading was 6.3. I got...

Hi, I am new to this forum but was diagnosed with T2 nearly 2 years ago. During the first year my doctor had my HAb1c tested every three months after putting me on Metform1500 per day. My readings were alway consistantly around 5.3 so my doctor reduced my dose to 1000 per day and finally said...
