    Mastering diabetes

    definitely no problems with the oatmeal. I should clarify - it is steel cut oats not rolled oats, so it is very low GI. If anyone had trouble with steel cut oats, they could even go to groats - even less processing and lower GI so it releases energy very slowly and much less likely to cause...

    Hi folks, if anyone is interested in how things have gone for me following the Aussie reversing diabetes program. I can report things have improved enormously in the space of just 2.5 weeks following their program. I decided to hit it hard and fast and took time of work to focus on it. I've...

    Mastering diabetes

    OK folks. Drum roll please.............after lots of research into what diabetes reversal program I've decided to try and having explained earlier why carnivore, keto, and low carb were options I had to rule out, it came down to choosing between the ones that offered good diet options for a...

    Mastering diabetes

    yes, type 2 but controlled with exercise and pretty much following the ADA diet, (vegetarian version) which stops it getting worse if I keep up the exhausting exercise regime, so looking at a diet that will reverse it and not need so much exercise. as mentioned previously, I've concluded being...

    Mastering diabetes

    I'm looking into various programs and have looked at Dr Fuhrman' s and the Mastering Diabetes. I'm now pretty convinced these people are probably the answer if you really want to reverse T2 diabetes and not just manage it. The thought of avoiding carbs the rest of my life sounds ridiculous and...

    Don't understand why this should happen

    I wouldn't get too concerned about referenced evidence in articles, I'd suggest seeing what the 'big boys' do............... The problem with referencing evidence is that it is so subjective. My experience in academia is that researchers generally have a very fixed belief about an issue and what...

    Don't understand why this should happen

    Halfpint, as has been suggested by others, new testing might be a good idea as it sounds like you might have type 1.5 diabetes and will eventually need insulin. The other test worth having is a 4 hr OGTT - Dr Wes Younberg in California, who has been very successfully reversing type 2 diabetes...

    Plant Based Keto diet - anyone tried it

    There seems to be a detailed explanation of the Karbeto diet on the website at this link https://www.reversediabetes.com.au/the-karbeto-diet-way-to-reverse-diabetes.htm - it seems to be a short term diet used at the start of the program, so that blood glucose doesn't spike up when eating carbs...

    it was a response to the 2 posts before which suggested the person must have been using lots of exogenous insulin and how fructose was a problem. Out of curiosity, I fact checked and passed on the info as it may help people who believe it is not possible to eat lots of carbs and use only small...

    I checked their website and one of the founders, Robby Barbaro, who has been Type 1 for about 15 years, gave the following stats on his regime - quite amazing.. My A1C has ranged from 5.3% to 6.2%, with just one A1C result at 6.6% in the past 12+ years My latest A1C is 5.4% 90-day...

    Plant Based Keto diet - anyone tried it

    thanks for the tips on vegan options. The Dr Carrie site looks interesting. I'm familiar with the Mastering Diabetes guys from a few years ago - they are absolutely dead against keto and give it a caning on their website. However, they both have type 1 diabetes I notice and eat carbs like...

    Plant Based Keto diet - anyone tried it

    Its mentioned on some Australian website called Reversediabetes.com.au but they dont give much detail on what the Lime Program is all about and I was hoping someone may know something on this site. From what I can gather it might be something like the Dr Fuhrman diabetes reversal program in...

    Advice on exercise and how to do it

    Thanks for passing on your personal experience Marc. Unfortunately, I'm the complete opposite of being a carnivore and that diet would nearly kill me as I just dont like meat and i'd be very concerned about other lifestyle diseases like various cancers seeing there is such a strong association...
