I’ve just come out of hospital today. Early morning around 0900 a chap in his 30s was brought in with suspected diabetes type 2. He asked for food and was given 6 slices of toast (white bread), he also opted for a hot chocolate and biscuits! When he asked what was available all the high carb...

I have a friend that has been type 2 diabetic for about 18 years. Makes me sad the way he causes himself issues when he stuffs himself with high carb. Don’t be offended if you’re a high carb person. But Low carb has results. He is on Insulin, and I’m going to get a list of his other diabetic...

I had my blood test a week and a half ago, it came back as 30. Initially my doctor said there’s nothing out of the ordinary, but I had to remind him of the previous number of 105 when in hospital as an inpatient. He then told me the latest result is 30. He wants me to repeat the test in 2-3...

I have a really good Muslim friend, and I told him I was interested in fasting for a better health and he told me about Ramadan. Muslims do not eat or drink between before Sunrise and at Sunset. In the UK the timings are around 0330 - 2045 and adjust by two mins both ways everyday. So for...

I have one good meal a day, a part of my goal to lose weight. I then fast, and only have water, 0 carb drinks like a green or mint tea, mainly water, until my next meal. In the morning I wake up and do a 5 mile walk, fast paced, with a break when needed when walking. I come home sweating! I...

I don't drink this stuff regularly. But, for the past 1 week I've been fasting around 18 - 24 hours and after every meal, I crave a carbonated drink. I used to crave Coca Cola many years ago, but I stopped that and moved to the diet versions, I know they use sweeteners etc, but it just gives me...

I know we are supposed to prick test 90 mins, 2 hours and 3 hours after eating. But do we need to consider 90 mins, after allowing our bodies to digest food? Is factoring in 30 - 45 mins after eating a good amount, and then checking 90 mins after that or what? What is the best time?

I test once in the morning, 2-3 hours after meal, and after gym. So about 3-4 test a day. Attached are a few screenshots showing todays, 2 week, a month and quarter estimates. I don't know how accurate these are, and I guess my next HBA1C will tell. My results have been of the similar as they...

On Friday I met some school friends and ended up having a 'carby' meal. I reckon my carb intake was around 30g. It's very difficult to check on every ingredient in a restaurant. Some restaurants use flour in mince meat to keep it together when grilled for example, and you can never taste it or...

How many carbs do we need to eat for our livers to produce glucose or can it be made from fat? Can it be made from fat? If we cut our carb content, won't the liver have nothing to feed off?
