@Rodcat As I understand it, fats don't really help in preventing muscle loss. You need to eat a few complex carbs (foods that are broken down to release glucose more slowly so don't cause blood sugar spikes) rather than simple carbs (things that break down quickly into sugars and do cause blood...

Thank you @sue512 :)

What other factors (if any) should people with Type 2 Diabetes be thinking about apart from food?

Thanks @sue512, that sounds like a sensible strategy. :) Do you eat much fruit and veg?

Thanks @filly, I hadn't thought of that.

That's interesting @Outlier, do you do the full Keto or have you adapted it?

Glad to hear it @Noel M, thanks for sharing.

Ahh, I see, @catinahat, that all makes sense! Thank you for the insight :)

@KennyA Sounds like fun! And definitely useful if you enjoy it and it's sociable :) I'm glad you're enjoying playing again. Thanks for your help and advice.

Thank you for all your advice and help @lovinglife, I'll go and have a look! :)

Thank you for the advice @HSSS, we'll have to do some experimenting with where we go out. How do you manage limiting carbs? - different people seem to do different things!

Thank you @KennyA, we'll have to put some thought into eating out and travelling! What sort of exercise have you found most useful?

Thank you @catinahat. Yes, I'm getting that impression, but it's good to know there's something that works for people. How did you do the intermittent fasting? Shame about the bread! Is even an occasional bit of sourdough out of bounds?

Thanks for sharing @lovinglife. I've read a lot about cutting out wheat and processed foods, not so much about the fruit. How did you find out about that?

Thank you for your help @MrsA2. Do you mind if I ask how long it took to see the bg control and weight loss roughly (as I mentioned in another post, I'm trying to help one of my family who's just feeling overwhelmed and demotivated at the moment)? How did your family and friends take it?

Ooh! What types of things @bulkbiker (if you don't mind me asking - I'm trying to help a family member who's feeling overwhelmed and demotivated, so I'm also looking for some inspiration!)? Thank you :)

Hi @HSSS, yes but that is only the case whilst the Tumeric is in your digestive system, so if you had, for example, spinach and eggs for breakfast and then something with Tumeric in it for lunch/later in the day you'd absorb the iron from the spinach and get the anti-inflammatory benefits from...

Hello, I'd like to ask what people find they succeed with and what they struggle with most when it comes to managing blood sugar?

Metformin does cause iron and folate deficiency because it reduces absorption of these from the intestines. Folate is naturally found in leafy, dark green vegetables and beans. Iron is high in spinach, liver, red meat and beans, You could try making sure you eat these types of food regularly?
