t2d

There have been many newly diagnosed T2's who say they feel guilty and ashamed. I don't feel that way and neither should they. We have all been told to eat the wrong things, and that those are even 'healthy, for decades! T2D is all about diet - what the person has eaten in the past and going...

Hi to all, I'm new to the forums, posting here for a an elderly family member (75) who refuses to join me online to do research about her condition: the terrible trifecta of T2D, chronic kidney disease (stage 4), and CVD. I have done some searches here on the forums, but it's not easy to find...

At the Nutrition Section of the Department of Medicine at Imperial College London, we are investigating the effect of different types of dietary protein and fibre on blood sugar levels and appetite. What are we looking for? We are looking for South Asian and European adults with Type 2 Diabetes...

Spotted this whilst putting together a leaflet on LC woe for my GP surgery (hoping they will use it!). Saw a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure it was only 300+ then. Now 600+ already. I think it's a great idea for us to share our journeys to help others. I know that when I was first diagnosed...

I was diagnosed almost a year ago with type 2 diabetes and my wisdom teeth need to be taken out. I've been scaring myself ever since I found this out so i'm wondering what other people experienced and what precautions they had to take before undergoing surgery. note: this would be my very...

So today was my first appointment with my endo and they did my HB1AC at the same time and got a shock. 41 Even after December and my poor adjustment and coming off sitagliptin and statins I’ve reached borderline levels. Consider me a life follower of LCHF and fasting because it is saving my...

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to line out some goals for myself and ask some questions here as an update. Getting myself started with keto now and intermittent fasting because I feel so full at mealtimes now it is not even funny. Question one is the 16:8 an effective fasting method for...

I started a LCHF diet in June, but was unable to reach ketosis for some reason - possibly too much protein....? My HbA1c was 116 in May 2018, 54 in August, and today I found out it's now 43. My liver function tests were finally normal in August (ALT = 24, down from 66 a couple of years ago) and...

Hi! (warning for long read ) ;) Great forum/site. Thank heavens for that. Diagnosed 3 weeks ago. Was shell shocked. Read that is normal. Went to Dr because I hadn't had a GP for 25 years living overseas - they don't have/use GPs there - just clinics. Moved back home again. Since not...

Hello everyone, My husband and I have been trying for a baby for the past 2 years without any joy. Last week I saw a practice nurse to begin some fertility investigations. This morning she called to tell me that she suspects I have diabetes and PCOS and that I had a HBA1C of 105mmol. I know...

An excellent hour long presentation by Dr Stephen Cunnane https://www.dietdoctor.com/can-ketones-slow-progression-alzheimers

I came across an article on the Virta Health blog, "How Much Money Could Your State Save with Diabetes Reversal?" What's interesting is that the article quotes a 47.7% reversal rate in calculating savings to health administrations through reversing type 2 diabetes through Virta's low carb...

Hey everyone- thanks again for the warm greeting the other day. Made me smile! This topic has been trotting in my mind for the past 2-3 weeks, as I seem to pass periods of obsession about learning more about diabetes. With knowledge, comes worry. Am I truly just T2? Will I get complications...

Hi everyone, I'm and Insulin Dependent T2D and I've been very low carbing for about 4 weeks now. The great news is how much less Insulin I now take. For an evening meal I used to take anywhere between 20-30 units of Humalog, and now I'm around 10 or fewer units. Which is fab. And my BG readings...

This 1999 presentation by Dr Ron Rosdale on Dr Mercola's site makes very good reading... http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/14/insulin-part-one.aspx How many have missed or lost the opportunity to normalize their insulin/glucose levels over the last 17 years...

Hey folks Just come on board, and was diagnosed two weeks ago with Type 2. I'm Al, and I'm based close to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK. Thus far, I've been exceedingly disappointed with the support provided by my primary care surgery, and have pretty much been left to 'research on Google' and get...
