Callieuk I was interested in what you were saying above. So you had a very healthy A!C level, but your OGTT was over the limit into pre-diabetic numbers each time??? I am wondering what having a good A1C, (35) and a post prandial number that is fine, less than 7.8 at 2 hrs) but some times a...

I recommend Thriva for private tests! I just got one done and it was 50% off the first test and covered: HBA1C, full cholesterol, vit D, vit b12, liver function, folate and iron! I thought it was great value as the other hba1c private test I found online was £50, and the cholesterol was £30, so...

There is actually very well documented success in not only reversing Pre-diabetes, but also full blown diabetes, in people who follow a whole food, plant based, NO ADDED OILS diet with a total intake of fat from natural sources such as avocado and olives kept below 10%. The added bonus is also...

I test when i first get up to go to the loo in the morning before I do anything else. Last two days : steady 4.9

sa That is unbelievable he said that! I'm disgusted! Anyway, my Aunty has eaten and drank garbage all her life including 2 litres of diet coke a day and been overweight, and she has type 2 diabetes, and i don't think she's ever done much to control it- probably just taken the drugs the doctors...

I followed Dr McDougalls recommendations, which is WFPB NO (whole food plant based / no oil) and got my hba1c down to 35, from 42 by the next test. It's quite different from what alot do on here, but it does work. I joined the McDougall friends facebook group, as there are others on there who...

This short video is interesting on the difference between eating whole fruit, and fructose from other sources : https://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-fructose-is-bad-what-about-fruit/

I meant one pack, with 4 avocados in it for £1.80! Hopefully that's not a disappointment!!! :)

Thanks for all this info! I would happily pay to get the blood test privately as i know there are more needy people out there than me, but i want to know where i stand, so I can arrest this and never progress to T2 ! Having an Aunty with shocking health, and having been in a coma from organ...

Hi A Question about the mechanics of blood sugar rising shortly after exercise- just trying to get my head around it. So, after a 45 min jog, I notice my blood sugars going up shortly after... They say to exercise as it helps regulate the blood sugars and makes the muscles more insulin...

Thank God you don't live in Aus then! You pay $5 for one avocado!!! :0 At least in the Uk we can get 4 packs for £1.80 or so!

Avocado sure is good!!! I was just using a little in some Brown rice and veg summer rolls i was making...you really miss the avocado when it's not there!

From the research I have read, it is not fructose from whole fruit though, but certainly from things like Fructose-glucose syrup, and table sugar etc (all of which I should not be eating either!) The sweets i was eating contain glucose-fructose syrup unfortunately! I just checked the label, and...

Thanks for that- i have always recorded the first reading upon waking so that is what i'll keep doing. The 2nd one was just 1.30 hrs later, but I went back to bed at 7.30 and was just lying still, as my baby was feeding and went back to sleep, so apart from getting up to go to the loo, I didn't...

They are both while fasting though- I haven't eaten at all today yet. I normally record my first reading, but the last few days have seen them fluctuating like this. I usually just take a reading when ever i get up, not at a particular time, but wanted to keep an eye on the pattern. I am afraid...

Oh, another question re fasting readings- what number do you record? When i got up earlier, around 7.30 am my fasting level was higher than it is now, yet i still haven't eaten, so is it cheating to write down the lower number?

I would be interested in even trying a 36 hr fast, but people have said it is no ok if you're breastfeeding! I don't see why it wouldn't be seeing as i have 11 kg of stored fat on my belly to sustain me? I am tempted to try it just for a day. Have you managed to work out what variables will make...

I had a salad sandwich on wholemeal bread with 1/4 avocodo and a sweet potato and red pepper burger (about 6 gm fat) , so not a huge meal. Normally I notice a higher reading at one hour, and then lower at 2. I was reading this by Jason Fung today about the fatty liver etc, (...

I have seen people in different forums get pushy with "their way" (whatever that is ) before, but as i mentioned, when it comes to people's own bodies, that they bear the consequences for, they need to work out for themself what line they're happy betting on, as only they will wear the results...
