Not intrusive at all, if you do find the answer please let me know!
Thanks for replying to what I thought I deleted. I wasn't trying to be intrusive. I just still don't have the faintest idea of what, how much and why to eat for the best. By the best I mean management of T2 without damaging other key markers of health. More confused now than I was 5 years ago.
When I buy steaks from butcher he cuts it off at the thickness or weight I ask for. Quite often I would just ask for a thin cut. Grandson buys four sizzle steaks cooks them makes 12 eggs scrambled as a topping or melts cheese on the steaks puts that on a plate and eats the lot. In am not sure what his BG is like because much to my disgust he doesn't test.
I thought I did know when I started out on this. 5 years on here has just left me bewildered, sceptical and wondering if I'm being lied to. Butchers? What are they?Not intrusive at all, if you do find the answer please let me know!
Any good reason for fasting?5.5 this morning. Fasting until 5 pm (24 hours) so, for me, it's going to be a long day. Trying not to look at the clock.
Best wishes for that. I had a period of multi day food fasts. Lost weight, felt fine though bg/A1c no better than average BUT cholesterol shot to pieces. Blow that for a game of soldiers in my case. Take care.Weight loss. It's really tough to lose weight on insulin. Fasting is the only way I can manage it.
1/4 of the population genetically is effected by the cholesterol they eat. I'm one of these, so I keep my cholesterol intake to 200 mg a day, and my total cholesterol is usually 5 mmol/l.Best wishes for that. I had a period of multi day food fasts.

Good stuff. I went ape when it trickled above 4.1/4 of the population is genetically effected by the cholesterol they eat. I'm one of these, so I keep my cholesterol intake to 200 mg a day, and my total cholesterol is usually 5 mmol/l.
So does my specialist, but I ignore him as NICE says 5 for normal blood sugars.Good stuff. I go ape at anything above 4.
Right there is where my trust issues beginnormal blood sugars.
He is a body builder he would be a fantastic fitness instructor if he chose to but at the moment he is about to start his third year of an economics degree in September and is aiming hopefully for a 1st so far he is on track for that.My butcher would cut me a thin slice or whatever weight I wanted if I asked - I just somehow don’t!
Your grandson’s steak and eggs feast sounds fabulous - am I right in remembering he is a fitness instructor though? Or something else that uses a lot of energy?

Sounds like he's a growing boy!When I buy steaks from butcher he cuts it off at the thickness or weight I ask for. Quite often I would just ask for a thin cut.

Another great score..you are rocking this! Like the aliens/minions!7 this morning. I am happy with that. Not because I am keeping score, but because I like being part of this community.

I worry about his BG sometimes as diabetes both T1 and T2 is very prevalent in his father's family both grandparents and both great grand parents but also in my wife's family mainly T1
