Never heard of them before, but I thought that this might be of interest to some of you. Found on twitter. Shared by Dr. Aseem Malhotra. "Elissa Epel @Dr_Epel Short #telomeres predict #insulin resistance over time. This is not about #obesity! This is part of the growing story about importance...

I normally have my BP done at the endo clinic, but today I'd consulted my GP for possible thyroid issues, but more about that later. I've been her patient for at least 30 years, so the tone between us is friendly and familiar. "Is your BP normally this high?" she asked, and I replied "no, but...

Isn't it funny how on some days I feel so hungry and end up raiding my pork scratching/dark chocolate/ nut drawer, while other days I feel so full all day without having had that much to eat? Today is a feeling full day. I've had about 85g of smoked mackerel, 26g of coconut and a portion of keto...

I've managed to 'gain' 4.6kgs/ 10lbs in just 8 short days. Usually I'm quite easy going if we're talking 1-2kgs over night, but this is a bit much. I'll assume it's down to water retention, because I'm on less than 16g of carbs per day, and 1300 cals. The only change in diet is the sudden shine...

I've always wanted to be able to post under 'success stories'. For some reason I always hoped that I'd be typing away about how much weight I've lost, but since I gained 3kgs/6.6lbs within the last 5 days, I think I'll just keep quiet about that :D Anyway, this is much better. I just came home...

Hello ketoers, I keep going under my fat and my protein ratios. So far I'm still 70 g short on fat, and 20g short of protein, while I have 1 whole g. of carbs to play around with. I'd say that calls for a low/no carb fat bomb, unless anybody's got a better idea? I've been looking around for a...

It's my sister A's 50th birthday. She's mentally handicapped, so my sister B has done most of the organising. Sister B is a pescetarian, and has ordered a vegetarian buffet at a cafe for nearly 40 people. She knows I have certain dietary challenges, but didn't ask me if this was suitable for me...

Has anyone tried thickening gravy with it, and what was the result? I know it thickens my cold youghurt...

My wonderful GlucomenAreo and I will never see eye to eye. I just measured 7.4, didn't like the result and tried a different finger. Much better, 6.4, but tried a third time just for luck. No suck luck - 6.9. Alle three within one minute. Which one should I log? :sour: P.s. Did wash and dry my...

2 months after going of jardiance and decreasing my victoza my Hba1C had gone up ever so slightly to 41 (5.9), and my kidney number (whatever units they're measured in) had come down to 91. Just one point above range. I didn't even know they'd been raised a couple of months ago ... Anyway, for a...

I'm just not good at calculating macros, and even worse at cooking up new and exciting meals. My weight loss has stalled, and needs a kick up its backside. I more than suspect that I'm eating way too little, and honestly most of the time I feel fatigued. The solution is - spend more money. I...

I searched for the title in this forum, but didn't find any threads related to it, but the TV-gods blessed me last night when it was aired in Denmark. My husband and I were just channel surfing when suddenly - there it was, and right from the start too. Highly informative and really really...

I'm certainly no expert, even if I have had T2 since Nov. 2005, no actually, quite a bit longer, because I remember my toes having that 'cottonwolly' feeling long before that. Anyway, I lost weight, came in remission, joined the Danish diabetes association, and received their monthly mag. For me...

:hilarious: or :banghead:?

Check this out. https://diabetes.thelowcarbuniverse.com/ Unfortunately they haven't posted the price yet, but it sounds very interesting, in my opinion. Beautiful surroundings, LCHF meals, mid summer in Sweden? What's not to like?

Warning. Maybe TMI for some. Time to do my daily injection, but I'd heard that it can be unpleasant to inject cold fluid, and no doubt it would be cold, because I hadn't got the fire going yet, so what to do? Let's face it. At 57 my breasts are not exactly perky anymore, if they ever were, but...

GlucoMen Areo and Glucomen Areo 2K. I really cannot recommend either. They both require a larger sample than my old Freestyle lite, and as a result I have to prick myself 2-3 times for a sufficiently large sample, and I use 2 strips for every result as I keep getting an error (too small amount...

I really wish I knew what's going on inside that pesky body of mine. It would seem that me and my body are having a bit of a stand off. My BGs have been on the rise for no reason that I know of. Still eating LC, and till Tuesday last week my BG was a steady estimated A1C of 5.0% where they've...

I got myself a glucomen areo 2k and some very pricey ketone strips. Is there anything I should know before attempting my first test, or is it as simple as testing my BG? Can I do it any time of the day, fasting or non-fasting? Thanks :)
