Is it good? What does he say? I can't waste data on Videos, I'm super tight ?
 
Thanks for posting that Robert, very interesting. Medicine needs people like this man to challenge the status quo. Hope he comes somewhere near to a solution eventually.
 
Don't watch videos!!!

Test every food and it's effect on your blood sugar levels in real time, specific to your own metabolism.
Best days work I ever did, I was off medication in a matter of weeks just by identifying and then avoiding my own personal poisons and improving my diet.

Anyone advising you, has probably got a nice job with a pension by reading stuff someone else has written, how would they know if it's all bollox?? For the vast majority of us, it is.

Heard the one about the diabetic nurse who advised her patient that he was dehydrated and should drink lots of lucazade:oops::oops:
You can definately conquer Diabetes with diet, unless you are very unlucky and are too far gone, but prove it to yourself with hard evidence!!.
You are a one off when it comes down to Diabeties and how sugar and carbs affect your unique body, everyone is different.

SERIOUSLY!
 
I have my annual diabetic review tomorrow..... I bet my diabetes nurse disagrees with him.
A single venous blood sample a week before the review should not be relied on as a condition of your diabetes, you may be having a minor glitch. It should be taken weekly for four to six weeks prior to the review to give a true reading. My irregular personal finger prick reading vary between 6mml and 9mml but they only take one reading and that's the be all and end all.
She can never find a foot pulse in my left foot without resorting to electronic means..... I had the main vein removed from ankle to above the knee for heart bypass surgery which has to have an effect on circulation to some extent but she doesn't listen.

I agree with this bloke, you either get diabetes or you don't, you don't have to be fat or idle... Its like smoking and lung cancer, not all smokers get lung cancer and others who have never smoked do.
 
I think this holds true for a lot of metabolic/endocrine issues!
 
I think that they still don't have the answers as diabetes seems to act differently with each person,
the one question i always ask consultants is why if overweight causes diabetes when I first had diabetes was that i was loosing weight very quickly and the diabetes didn't improve, then i was given metformin and low and behold I got fat now I have an injection called victoza which is some kind of enzyme which not only controls insulin but makes you loose weight (10kg) now sugar levels are under control. So question is it the weight loss which didn't effect the levels before or the enzyme being replaced by the jab consultants dont seem to be sure which only that the jab works
 
Insulin resistance does not affect everybody, but most are , about 70% of the population are going to be liable to getting the inability to deal with the metabolic results of sugars.
There are several sugars and they are all from the ingestion of carbohydrate, especially the Fructose, and sucrose which are available from the 'western diet' Research done in the 50's and ealy 60's by one Ansel Keyes led to the recommended diet of the US government, backed by the various medical authorities there as well. This RESEARCH was nothing if not totally false and fraudulent. He cherry picked the results and it led to the demonisation of saturated fats and meat products containing it. This man went on to become a multi millionaire through the production of this idea, paid for by big US corporations making the new factory made foods and cooking oils sold through supermarkets. Follow the money always leads to the source of the crime it is said.
The biggest culpruit is HIGH SUCROSE CORN SYRUP, made from maize and subsidised by the US government in its production. This is much sweeter and MUCH cheaper than cane sugars and therefore more attractive to the production engineers of the mass made food industry.
The answer to diabetes is the removal as far as possible of all high glycaemic index foods from the diet completely. Items such as bread and pasta, rice etc are very high on the index and need to be removed for your intake. Cakes, sweets, pies and pastries all are made from refined carb, flour and sweeteners like HFCS. Soda drinks are the biggest culpruits of sugars intake as they all med with HFCS and go straight into the system and need to be metabolised by the liver and cannot be used for energy but get dumped into the adipose fat layers. Also Ghrellin is produced which is a brain signaller saying I NEED MORE FOOD and the desire to eat snack or more meals..
Fat is taken into the gut and is absorbed in a far more meaningful way being converted and used by the muscles and brain after the liver has changed them. This also make Leptin a hormone which is the saiety messenger to the brain saying I am full no more food needed.
The now recommended diet is for no more than 35 grams of total carbohydrate , the rest being protein and mostly fats.
If you wish to change things then change you diet completely not eat much less but the actual content instead.
EAT, butter, milk yoghurt, cook in coconut oil or lard and meats, not factory food but natural foods as granny used to give her family. Fish, meat, and green leaf vegetables not high sugar fruits like bananas and apple. If fruit is wanted eat the whole fruit and not juices as you migh eat one orange but an orange juice is the sugars of up to ten oranges, the fibre is missing in juices and smooties, sugars straight into the system. I eat eggs and bacon for a breakfast and nothing else wanted until my dinner time in the early evening. I do not feel hunger or the desire to snack all the time. I lost more than a stone in 4 weeks when I changed my input, I still eat plenty but nothing back to a sugar base.
Before insulin injections the ONLY treatment to keep type one diabetics alive was no sugar and starch based foods. I and others have been banging on about this subject for yonks now but it is still disbelieved what we say.. Remeber to keep sugar levels down YOU NEED TO stop taking it in, starches and carbs are the source of hidden sugar look up the glycaemic index and see what food has the hidden suras in them from the simple conversion in the gut, straight to the fat cells. less sugar in and therefore less to need pumped into the cells of the body.
I was taught so many incorrect thing in my medical training it used to be said 50% of what we are told is wrong, they just do not know which 50% it is.

Refer to youtube and listen to the talks given by Dr. David Unwin and his wife. He is recognised now as one of the most enlightened GP, in the country by the NHS.

So much evidence points to
- eat more low GI foods
- eat fewer high GI foods
This is basis of the Keto diet. Also raw is best; certainly minimising ultra or high processed foods.

I’m looking forward to reintroducing some rice/wholemeal bread ? ...
