I've actually read at least two articles with people able to eat anything again, with no further complications, after those weeks of starvation. So there are clearly many discrepancies most people new to diabetes are not aware of (me among them). And that's why we're actually on such a forum, I...

I tried not to go deep on this, but I just became aware so many people, all over the place, use most of these terms in their own way. I've read for the first time about "reversing diabetes" in the context of a Newcastle diet on another site, and by reversing they were actually talking about...

If you look just 2-3 comments before, you'll see we already became aware of this difference. I tried to repro it for google.co.uk from my browser (I was expected as you said a different result), but it was hard to force Chrome to do that and I gave up. I can easily see what's returned only for...

I think both me and Bluetit nicely made you aware of some simple inconsistencies between what you said and what is actually displayed on your profile. No harm done. Peace and Love, man...

Just so you know, Alexandra, you have in Google two nice shortcuts to display the Nutrition Information label on the same page, for virtually any product. Type "nutrition avocado", or "carbs in avocado" and look at the right of the same search page. Of course, you can replace avocado with any...

And, if you click on his username and look at the popup, it says "Diabetes 'Resolved'" :) Just saying... Edited to remove offensive content (religious)

hmm, I thought discussion forums, especially under Diabetes Discussions, are meant for this: for people to discuss. If you don't give a dime on what other people say on a subject, and you're obviously not interested in a discussion. Edited by moderator to remove offensive content (religious)

I was just like you (also drinking heavily), and nothing changed until I made some huge important changes in my mind. I asked myself if I truly want to go down this way (and the path looked short) or if I still have some good milage in my life. Once I decided for the second options, I started...

wow, no idea Europe and US are so different! I was about to ask the same question as @Bananas 2 . And just FYI, I live in Canada, and food labels are similar to US. For us it is net carbs that counts.

funny, I had a first comment here, with a suggestion for the admins to filter any first comment of a new registered account, and it's no longer here. maybe it's on ...spam? :)

not the first time I see so many spam messages (all in Chinese). to post a message, you must have a registered account. many forums moderate first message of a new user account (that's usualy a simple checkbox in the admin dashboard) and this could be the solution to this problem.

you need to figure out first that each generation makes its mistakes. Your generation, and you as a parent, will also make mistakes with your children. also, question is if your parents did this to you from lack of knowledge, or they knew what they were doing. I bet most of it was involuntary...

you may have had some prediabetes symphtoms, but if you can already eat high carbs meals and your BG is normal, I strongly doubt you had or have diabetes. However, occasional high BG puts you at risk and of course it's better if you improve your lifestyle anyway. I myself I've been found just...

well, the same way most people who eat sugar (and this is almost everyone on the planet :)) don't get diabetes. But I'm not sure if this is what he meant. to comment quickly on your previous comment on this thread, I think there is a separate definition of this "reversed", from strictly the...

I'm surprised nobody questioned this. In fact, it got 4-5 strong approvals. Using strong words doesn't make a silly argument valid. You may have now healthy BG levels, but if it still takes a strict diet and/or medication to do so, you're just like someone breathing properly, but only with an...

newcastle is an extreme diet, based on starvation. it's always good not only to consult your doctor, but do it under some medical supervision. I won't go for it if I was you, it's too early an extreme, collect more info. keto is not so hard, but check about the side effects in the first too...

With some extreme starvation Newcastle diet, several people said their diabetes 2 was "reversed" or gone for good. This means they've been able to eat again no matter what, with no negative blood sugar effects. We never know how permanent this condition is, because eating no matter what may of...

I second @justbe for most recommendations. I'd even suggest keeping your daily carbs intake below 20g. I follow dietdoctor.com's two-weeks Keto diet right now, with max 20g carbs daily meals. Keto diet means bringing your body into a state called ketosis. In which your body starts converting...

Just so you know, I started a two-weeks Keto this evening. This was my first dish (I kept leftovers for tomorrow's lunch). Maybe I'll update this message - in case other diabetics are looking for the diet... Next day update: fasting for over 16 hours, no more problems with my hypos (at 4.9...

haha, I suspected something "wrong" here :) Kidding, of course, and congrats you're still able to keep in shape so well. We're almost the same age, but I'm no champ :) Look, that's one other reason why I'd try Keto already. It's said we loose weight even without trying. I'm not fat and I...
