I don’t see myself eating it but I don’t agree the carb count is too much - it would mix nicely with Greek yogurt for a breakfast

Interesting article - thanks. I’m certainly not doing more than 20 gms a day at the moment. I’m due my full bloods mid Jan and that will show how liver etc is but so far I am losing weight still and stab test BG is improving. But anyway thanks for the post - very interesting

I generally rate diet doctor recipes- am not a big coconut fan but I’ll give it a try - thanks

Sounds good - does it have any coconut taste though?

A normal portion would only be about 35 grams so carbs per portion roughly 15gm - also need to consider amount of fibre and GI rating .....

I’d rely on your Ac1 measures over snap shot stab tests. All people suffer blood sugar spikes - it’s a healthy long term average I believe is important. I think you will see further improvement if you do plenty of exercise. Good luck

Google Yuri Elkaim - he is pushing RS - has some interesting points of view rgds

Hi Thanks for the response. I have considered kefir and it is on my to try list. My sister uses kefir and says it is good but she is not t2d. It’s early days on RS for me and I wouldn’t dare try the cook cool method as am on low carb diet - save for The potato starch which passes through. Rgds

Thanks - looks an interesting article. Bobs starch is very expensive in the uk as it is a USA export and a lot of the articles I find mention the product by name as tool of choice- that worries me a little re conflict of interest. Anyway if you are in the uk holland &Barrett potato starch is...

Regular starch is assimilated and therefore the carbs/calories are taken on board as energy - resistant starch passes straight through to colon and only feeds gut flora.

This approach definitely worked for me too when I was on vlcd- only problem was eventually I became emaciated and weak. Ketosis is a superb tool but for me it cannot be sustained beyond 6 months - whilst in ketosis however every single ailment I had disappeared and many have never since...

I too was advised by both nurses and docs not to test. Although I now have a meter I don’t necessarily disagree with them as one can become fixated on the meter and end up living by it when really a good diet and active lifestyle is most likely the best one can do to keep t2d under control. I...

Hi Sally RS is said to help as a prebiotic and improve gut flora. I’ve just had a serious hit of antibiotics which more than likely has killed most if not all of my good gut bacteria. The fact it passes through to the colon is good - otherwise I’d be cramming carbs (imho they are the enemy). Any...

Hi I wondered how many others out there might be trying to use resistant starch in their T2D approach? I’ve recently started it with a bag of unmodified potato starch from Holland & Barrett. I’m currently on about 2 tablespoons a day. It’s too early to comment on the effects except to say so far...

Not eating at all will kill you much quicker than diabetes

I’d listen to your wife and try the statins. I’ve been on minimum atorvastatin for about a year and had absolutely no side effects(we are all different) - my cholesterol is still too high but I am now managing my diet better and so declined to increase the dose of that or metformin.

I’m new to this. I did Desmond last year with my wife and found it useful - especially as I met others with t2d although I was the only fbs sufferer present. The dietary advice was somewhat old school thinking but was still thought provoking. I would recommend it as it is a safe environment and...
