And yet, great glucose control has never been achieved on these diets by me as I have consistently needed medicating.
First I heard about LCHF, Jason Fung, Diet Doctor, intermittent fasting, etc. etc.
The main reason I want to urgently improve my insulin resistance is because of its role in not only diabetes but cancer too. I am the first T2 in my family. However my mother and 4 of her sisters and also their mother struggled with their weight. I believe they were insulin resistant. They all died of cancer.
This suggestion that IR is linked to cancer would make T2D more likely to die of csncer rather than the normal pathology associated with the disease. I do not think T2D are more susceptible to cancer than the general populace.The main reason I want to urgently improve my insulin resistance is because of its role in not only diabetes but cancer too.

So are you saying I shouldn't try to reduce my IR and lose weight and reverse my T2 then?This suggestion that IR is linked to cancer would make T2D more likely to die of csncer rather than the normal pathology associated with the disease.

Yes it gave me brainache too. Basically what this is about is that whereas animals have tools to defend themselves from predators, then the plant world has developed its own mechanisms. Not claws and teeth but poisons that make them unpalatable to certain of their predators and creepy crawlies. These poisons get into our bodies in the form of Lectins which are proteins that are in many cases toxic to us (endotoxins), These proteins can leak from the gut into the blood stream and cause us harm. What Dr Gundy has done is identify those foods that we eat which contain these substances, and is advising using good techniques for us to mimimize our exposure by proper cooking. Unfortunately on WFPB and some other vegetarian diets there is a tendancy to consume the veg in the raw state, so the lectins are not suppressed. For example, it is not advisable to eat raw potato, so we cook it first, even if eating it cold later in a salad, Kidney beans will kill you if not cooked in a pressure cooker Ricin will kill you cooked or not. So this advice given by Dr Gundy is of some importance.Don't have the brainpower to even look at all the links in this thread, and the video ones are wasted on me as I don't have speakers that work. I will read/watch when I and the PC feel better. Thanks for all the links.
Not at all. It is just making a connection to cancer that I query. Reducing IR is good, Reducing obesity is good. Finding a lifestyle that does both is the Holy Grail.So are you saying I shouldn't try to reduce my IR and lose weight and reverse my T2 then?
Well this is where I first got the idea that IR and T2 and cancer were linked.Not at all. It is just making a connection to cancer that I query. Reducing IR is good, Reducing obesity is good. Finding a lifestyle that does both is the Holy Grail.
I find the closing remarks in that newsflash to be pertinent, in that once diagnosed then diabetics come under sustained surveillance with blood tests that are above what are given to the general populace, My GP has recently given me a few scares recently with investigations into bowel, stomach, prostate and kidney/liver functions to explore the poss of cancer. So far I am clear. Again, pre diagnosis, then patients may be presenting with symptoms and problems that cause increased visits to a doctor,Well this is where I first got the idea that IR and T2 and cancer were linked.

Very rare it is true but not unknown down side their rate of breast cancer is far higher than the general population.Cancer is a big subject. How many different types are there - thousands, and within each type there are dozens of sub-types.
Years ago I read some research about cervical cancer. It seems nuns don't get cervical cancer. Answer - no more sex.
Out of curiosity when you say 14g of fat do you mean all fats or a particular fat that is saturated, unsaturated, transfats or monounsaturated fats?I'm feeling really excited and motivated at the thought of trying something new. I will aim for 250g carbs 14g fat and 31g protein. Maybe this time.
Are these quantities per meal or per day? I think the original WFPB recommendation was 10 g max a day of all fat including nuts, but I see that Forks over Knives has relaxed it to 15g. Remember that for IR to be reduced then fat must be ultra low, else the fat stores will not become depleted, Low fat aka Eatwell#2 does not even come within waving distance of this.Out of curiosity when you say 14g of fat do you mean all fats or a particular fat that is saturated, unsaturated, transfats or monounsaturated fats?
My son was advised to use Paleo or Atkins#2 after his chemo. That was Cambridge hospital, who are pioneers in C.I believe that if you are unlucky enough to have cancer then some types of it can grow better in a high glucose environment than one rich in ketones - some cancer cells lack the ability to utilise ketones as an energy source.
