[QUOTE="johnnyxs, post: 1622010, member: 247982"] thanks for all your suggstions Fuggs I'm always reading and researching my various ailments particularly since I was diagnosed 2x years ago . Since commencing my current Vit & Mineral supplementation I no longer suffer any joint aches fortunately . I refused to take the Metformin the D Nurse prescribed because they are not recommended with Liver problems like mine. They don't even bother to read your medical notes half the time. I managed my BS levels just by diet alone although I had to take Glicazide for a couple of months. My initial BS level was 28 nmol/l ! and I got it down to a consistant fasting level of 6nmol/L within 3-4 months where it has been ever since until this past 2 months where it has inexplicably risen consistently by 2-3nmol/L ?? It was your post that inspired me to do something about it. I have come across Fugg before in my research but there are so many others that are also on the right track these days. There is a growing body in the scientific community that are now considering that we may have got it all wrong. Obesity isn't the [B]cause[/B] of T2 Diabetes but rather a c[B]onsequence [/B]of being Diabetic . The Medical Profession haven't helped the situation by blaming overweight people for their Diabetes and other associated conditions and for advocating low Fat diets . Fat was the evil component not carbs. I still have a NHS Diabetes Leaflet from 5 years ago that says eat less fat ! .....:banghead: I would be careful of reading too much into your fasting BS levels during the daytime as you will clearly be using vastly more glucose than you would asleep overnight so you would expect some temporary low BS levels. The thing to watch out for of course is periodic Hypoglycemic episodes which I used to get quite frequently at first. Thats one of the downsides to eating less starch (quick release energy) and more fat (slow release energy) and then embarking on some unaccustomed exercise. The body can't supply enough cellular energy fast enough to cope with the increased demand . Its a fine balance which takes time to get right. I have been dieting periodically since around the 1980s when I stopped heavy physical work (construction) and started practicing as a construction consultant. I went from 14st in 1982 to 17.5 stones over the years . I frequently lose a stone or 20 lbs in a few months but it all goes piling back on and then some when I inevitably revert to my usual non stop eating or I get ill and cannot exercise etc. I haven't tried regular fasting so I'm looking forward to trying it and hopefully making it my lifestyle along with some other changes. I've recently started table tennis which is a great exercise and certainly raises your heart rate , also intending starting badminton once a week.
