[Oldvatr]

Here is another of his articles on Diabetes
https://www.express.co.uk/life-styl...lling-breath-hyperglycaemia-high-blood-sugars
In it there is another direct link to this website, so he is very familiar with what we do here I note he does not link to the other site of similar ident. And yes he does seem to promote CBD oil on Twitter.

Hi @Oldvatr

Interesting of the mention of cinnamon, ginger tea. What did the discussion state please?

I’m incorporating cinnamon most days and I put a slice of ginger in my water. So interesting to know about this.

Mangoes avoidance in particular was also mentioned by my chemist. Celery as a substitute just doesn’t cut it the same as fruit I’m afraid.

If you go back to the original post on Red Onions, and open it up, there are some links out to other related articles. Those in turn lead to a paperchase to other similar articles. However what those articles say is off topic and would need to move to their own threads.

Thank goodness I'm allergic to onion..... they really trigger the IBD so tend to use garlic, cinnamon leak etc in place. like my food

One criticism made of this research was that if there was a correlation between eating onions and lowering blood sugar, then in India, where a huge amount of onion-based dishes are eaten, there should be fewer diabetics than in other countries, and this is clearly not the case. More work is required before I add capsules of onion extract to my pill box...

Onions are too risky in BG terms for me. Others may be able to eat them without problems. The alternatives I use to give onion taste are leeks - surprisingly versatile whether thinly sliced in stir-fry or thickly sliced in soups and casseroles - and spring onions, where I give the more carby white bits to my (thin, non-diabetic) husband and I have the green bits.

Onions are the one carby veg I still eat. I adore them and in the context of a diet otherwise involving very, very few carbs they don’t have a big impact on my blood sugars at all.

I love onions so I just allow for their relatively few carbs in my daily allowance. A little goes a long way.
