Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="G0ldengirl68" data-source="post: 2630545" data-attributes="member: 537222">..as I got hooked on another forum to be honest.  I've been on Keto for 2 years and 6 months, ever since diagnosed with T2 Diabetes on Jan. 20, 2021.  I have never looked back, and follow the low-carb nutrition/keto, and actually lean toward Carnivore.  I don't know if I will go that far, but never say never right <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I recently discovered Dr. David Unwin, and I can't say enough good about him!  I'm sure many of you know who Dr. Unwin is.  If I could have any doctor in the world, it would be Dr. Unwin.  I have just started reading his material and listening to his videos.  The main reason was to try and find info that I could share with those suffering from obesity, and T2 Diabetes.One of the main replies I get from folks when I say I don't eat sugar is that they hardly eat any sugar.  But I realize now that so, very many folks don't know the amount of sugar they are eating in a banana or baked potato for example.  Dr. Unwin's work on the Glycemic index is wonderful but it's a bit hard for me to break it down, simplify it for those that wouldn't read a study, like my sister who just can't make sense of the scientific data.  I can't either, some of it, but I can get the bottom-line message out of a study.So I see Dr. Unwin mentions a couple of foods like a potatoe's equivalent to grams/teaspoons equals I think it was 9 teaspoons of sugar.  Is there a list somewhere I can bookmark, or download that lists lots and lots of foods in that format?  I've seen the Glucose charts online but some folks I know don't understand Glycemic Load, but sugar they understand.Can someone help me out here as I so want to help folks out when they are interested in how I lost the weight, and how I put my T2 in remission.  I also don't know how to relate the UK's HbA1c's number 48 to mine in US like 100 on my chart I've used since I started.  My 100 mgdl = 5.6 mmol for example <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I look forward to getting reacquainted here as many of you helped me in the beginning, and I feel bad for not continuing here, at least dropping in once in awhile.  Thank you for any feedback, Denise</blockquote>
