Things are about to get interesting

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about_us/news/weight-loss-can-put-type-2-diabetes-remission-least-five-years-reveal-latest-findings This hit the news channels yesterday, only picking up on it now. Not as inspiring as I might have hoped. Think I remember the initial headline data spoke about...

Came upon this tweet yesterday An A1c of 5.86% in our money Now the UK cutoff is 42-47 for pre-diabetes, it's 5.7%(39)-6.4%(47) in the US but either way it's trending in the wrong direction. The average adult FBG is 113.6mg/dl which is 6.3mmol/L in our money. I'd wager there's diagnosed...

Knew it was coming but she never listened. Weight ballooned since last child which she'd had GD on, completely sedentary, awful diet, increasing pills for BP. Like us all she was in denial for the first few days. I checked her labs & her A1c was "only" 50 though her FBG was 9.9, previous labs 3...

This has been a trend for some time now amongst the biohacker community. Interesting take from the world's number one golfer on how it's changed his diet especially in regard to training.

I only noticed it last night. https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9713308/im-a-celebrity-confused-sue-cleaver-eating/ The well research article points out that I wonder why she's left out of eating trials though where they are eating bugs. Perhaps some of the shakes are high in carbs.

Guess what, carbs cause spikes. Some of these findings come from medical practitioners, others are biohackers, interesting findings.

So 2 arrive every morning at the pool for the day but hardly move. Legs are very calloused, red, scary tbh Heard them talking about it and one blaming their pain relief doc. Both seriously overweight and eat all day, everything brought by their wives. 3rd guy comes down late on a mobility...

Had a convo on Reddit a few months ago with a guy who had spent 25 years in remission. His only ever A1c > 48(6.5%) was his diagnostic. No meds, just low carb all the way. His wife was in the same boat, 20 years since her diagnosis, highest A1c was 5.4% since. Meeting people like that is...

So I'm posting this here as there's not many other places online I could share this info. I've been an active CFR for 8 years, we arrive on scene with the defib & the training when there's a 999 call in your locality. We're activated if the caller uses the words chest pains, choking, stroke or...

Something they've added to your Libre View report I checked mine & it seems to be an automated algorithm that suggests areas to improve in your control. Playing doctor a bit but nice to see innovation.

Finally, the research I like to read https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/healthandwellbeing/arid-40821531.html They seem a bit hazy on the processes involved Well I'll save them the expense of further research. Liver prioritizes alcohol & the carbs get a free ride, person less likely to...

https://www.townsendletter.com/Jan2015/early0115.html I've seen the short form PDF of the Kraft test before but the above lays it out much clearer. Kraft identified this pattern as a normal healthy metabolic response to the 75g OGTT. Pattern I As you work your way down through the patterns...

Well , the headline figure is 4.8% are classified as in Remission (A1c < 48), about 1 in every 20 T2s. https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003828 Thought the finding that older people were more likely to gain remission very striking. All the other criteria...

We've all become expert carb counters since our diagnosis. Yesterday I decided to ad up all the carbs I used to consume back in my 20st days. Breakfast: 5 Deli Sausage Rolls 12gs carbs each = 60gs carbs 2 coffees with milk = 10gs Lunch: Large Sub + Share Bag of Meanies + Share Dairy Milk =...

Meet my Border Collie, we call him Scully This was him as a pup a year ago He's all grown up now so this was him a year later at Christmas Great dogs for walking. In good weather I've 4 massive fields opposite the house to let him go wild. I put on the boots, load a podcast & off we go...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4063858/ Link to a 2014 study where a cohort with IGT were divided into a LCD group & a control group. The report is a good read with lots of before & after metrics. Why this course of treatment isn't mainstream is beyond me, a non pharmaceutical...

Hadn't seen these before, no background but I'd expect they were part of his MRI scans in his 2 year follow up. https://www.ncl.ac.uk/media/wwwnclacuk/newcastlemagneticresonancecentre/files/Pancreas%20volume%20during%20remission.pdf The write up of this study can be found here...

I haven't had a chance to drill down yet but will be taking a look later https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1463098750096793604...
