Heart Calcification

[Rog]

By our accident I found recently I had heart calcification . I’m hearing that Oates is not good for this condition along with sugar to stabilise the condition .

How being a diabetic can I drop oatcakes as it’s my main intake of carbs . Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated ?

Why do you want to take carbs? Quite a few on the forums have very few carbs if not as close to zero as possible and are managing well.

Oatcakes have 66 grams of carbs per 100 grams, that's nearly my daily total of carbs.

Meat and bacon are a great alternative to them.

It never occurred to go down to almost zero carbs , are flax and chia seeds ok?

I have never eaten then so cannot say.

My intake of carbs is around 100 grams per day.

I use flax seed in baking once in a while, but as we don't need carbs I select the ones I eat carefully, low carb tasty and colourful is what I pick usually - fresh veges and salad stuff.

Hi I have grinded my flax and sunflower as my daily porridge and it doesn’t increase my sugar

I eat flax seed and chia seed for fibre and for the oils. They don't raise my bg much, if at all

I add seeds to my salads, so have them almost daily. Ground Linseed are a good source of vitamin D (I grind them myself so they don't go rancid). Chia seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Sunflower seeds are also good (for me at least).

@Rog Did you have a CAC test? They say that it isn't too big a problem if the number is high but stable - only a big problem if it is increasing annually.
Do you follow Ivor Cummins (the FatEmperor)? I trust him regarding Fats, Carbs and Cholesterol, but not quite so sure about his views on Coronavirus.
