    New Here. Using bitter melon and diet

    Fell off the LCHF wagon for about a month. No extreme, just not as cautious and I saw my meter register 6.2 's in the morning for a week long and that was it for me. Back to low carb high fat and corrected it fairly quickly. I'm back to the low 5's in the morning and that works for me. Never...

    HOW MUCH FRUIT IS TOO MUCH

    Wow. Grapes are pure sugar. I like a bit of fruit. I don't spike much from one starking apple. Usually below 6.5. I eat berries, its fine for me, but stay away from bananas. When I go above 7.0 , I don't like it, so avoid those foods.

    Funny eyesight

    Have heard of this. Also know that if you can control your blood sugar and keep it under 8.0, by testing before and 1hour after you eat, to see what spikes you, then you can possibly get rid of the vision problems. its all about good control, unfortunately.......well mostly.

    Leanne that is shocking. sorry to hear that. You do need to take care of you. I think you need to sit her down so she wont be in a position to walk away. Maybe you need to be firm and say, "I will be taking lunch at 1pm today and do it". but if you feel its too confrontational, then get...

    lunch break

    you may need to remind them of the labour law or your contract and to just take your break when due. Take care of you first or you wont be able to take care of those around you. charity begins at home.

    Difficult one, but I would stay away from statins. Eating low carb & weight loss helps.
