Sorry I'm so old English---- Remember that lots of traditional Christmas food relies on things like spices(mincemeat---- brilliant with nuts and low carb fruits----as long as the spices are right , and made with almond flour for the pastry of tarts or pies) and herbs---stuffing is delish made...

don't know of any foods that LOWER sugar. I make low carb cupcakes-- quick to make, and delicious-- eggs, almond flour, baking soda and either lemon or a mandarin orange, sweetened with erythritol----yum. I also eat a portion of nuts (almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts) each day --.

add some ground flax seed---gives a nice "rounded flavour and a few extra omegas

Do your own research, and make up your own mind. There is a lot of research out there. Personally I am against statins big time. Not just because of the side effects, but because I believe that lowering cholesterol to the ridiculously low levels that doctors seem to think necessary now, is...

I would suggest that you look at as much of the research you can find, and make up your own mind. personally I have found little research that suggests that taking statins does anything to lengthen life. A huge study (I think it was undertaken by the Cochran Collaboration for WHO, but Do your...

From what I read, the study referred to the keto diet, which uses virtually no carbs, and lumps fibre in with them. Obviously if you cut out fibre you get problems. Also if you cut out all fruit and veg, you cut out a lot of essential nutrients. As someone who got her diabetes under control...

Type 1's cannot produce sufficient insulin. Type two's cannot use the insulin they produce. As insulin has two functions in the body, to facilitate the movement of glucose into the cells, and to store any excess glucose as fat it follows that type one diabetics will have less problem with weight...

We are told that LDL cholesterol is the bad kind. What we are NOT told is that it is essential to life. All the cells in our bodies would be a liquiddy sort of mess on the floor without it, as it is the main constituent of the membrane which keeps all the internal bits of every cell together...

Thanks, looking at that now

Thanks for your replies. The research I was looking for identified two genetic variations, and the different complications associated with each variation. Strangely none of our parents have had diabetes. I follow low carb too.

I was diagnosed type 2 twelve years ago after a massive infection followed a hysterectomy. I have since (earlier this year) discovered that only one of my 6 cousins from my fathers side of my family, that I know of, (two died in 1980's, without me knowing them ) does NOT have type 2 diabetes! I...

Tell your husband to point out the results of the metastudy recently published in the Lancet, which found that 92%of people followed in the study who had "high" cholesterol lived longer than their "low" cholesterol counterparts.

Just read about this for the second time. Will this negate the side effects, and allergies that go along with Metformin for so many people? I for one would love to try it. Anyone know of any clinical trials in Northern Spain for this???

I find the larger the flakes of oatmeal the better-- this rules out instant porridge. If coarse porridge spikes, try cutting it with ground almonds, and or ground flaxseed

I live in Spain, and the guidelines here are very similar to those issued by NHS. When I was first diagnosed, I was put on two Metformin a day, and this same ridiculous diet. I had to change from Metformin to glibenclamide as I was allergic to the Metformin, and was told to take two 5mg tabs per...

I've been taking blackseed oil for a while now. It has made no difference to my diabetes, but has worked wonders for asthma------- I hardly use ventolin now. However not all blackseed oil is created equal--- some brands work, and some don't..

There was a huge study carried out in America recently by an independant group which found that taking blood pressure lowering meds, and statins made no difference to the risk of stroke and heart attack. All the meds did was to very effectively lower cholesterol and blood pressure!!! Something...

I've only just come across this thread, and have just worked my way through it all. I'm going to write the next bit in capital letters, so that everyone should see it---UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES no-one actually NEEDS carbohydrate. The human body has evolved so that the only substance that it...

Before you start go to the website. If you read through this thread you will find several links, and Julie54 has posted the answer she recieved from Dr Roy Taylor to a similar question. It's on page 2
