I can't loose weight. But to prove the booze thing. 6 pints 6.1 I did dance all the way home to .. .bad Manners and I'm still doing it. Life. It's for enjoying
I have honey on my cereals, is that bad, or is syrup just better.
I'm pre-diabetic, latest blood tests had me around 42 iirc which is the lower end, but lost 10-12 ils in the last 6-7 weeks, so want to continue on that journey, but food as well as exercise needs to improve.
Indeed.Cereals have loads of carbs in so why add more with honey or syrup.
Offered with no advice… but I found the alcohol-sugar interesting… ofcourse everyone is different and he is drinking whisky without any mixer.. would be very different if it was JD + CokeThe alcohol thing. I'm not convinced this is a problem. Look I have a right booze up on a Thursday and test when I get back and I'm well under acceptable limits. And I'm swigging cider, and sweet cider at that. We are here to enjoy life. Don't let the docs suck the fun out of it. Get the test strips and test after a bottle of wine and a carb controlled meal. It's 2 hours after by the way. Maybe it's me and my system but I'm ok with booze. It's sugar that's my problem so I'm VERY cautious about this oh and I try to do a bit of a walk each day or work.
Cos they taste better/sweeter.Cereals have loads of carbs in so why add more with honey or syrup.
This is the regime implemented by Prof. Roy Taylor of Newcastle University. It's not quackery, it works. Mate of mine did it, big lad junkfood and beer monster. Lost a stack of weight and reversed his diabetes. Off medications altogether and blood tests show no evidence of diabetes.Lad I play golf with has recently been offered the chance to take part in diabetes reversable programme via our GP.
Starts mid-April, initially 12 weeks of an 800 calorie a day diet, diet is all provided by GP, will consist of soups, energy bars/gels etc.
Not allowed anything else!
Minitored weekly by GP, after 12 weeks they increase the calorie intake and reintroduce “some” foods.
He’s looking forward to it as he’d love to reverse his diabetes, but also a bit apprehensive.

Hows things, Chellie, still at fairhaven?
I hope my mate sticks to it and gets the same results, the 800 calories a day will be the hardest for him.This is the regime implemented by Prof. Roy Taylor of Newcastle University.

It is more effective if your diabetes is caught early.
He follows a low carb lifestyle now with red wine or spirits and lo cal mixers his drink of choice as opposed to beer, which his GP calls "liquid toast"
Yes. But if he sticks at it there's no rest of your life medication or eyesight issues. Or risk of gangrene from non healing wounds. Sounds gruesome but I knew a guy who lost both legs to gangrene and his sight because he ignored the warningsI hope my mate sticks to it and gets the same results, the 800 calories a day will be the hardest for him.![]()
Thankfully he’s retired and will be monitored weekly by the GP.If you are in a manual job now could you manage on 800 calories![]()

Yep, all fine.Still there Peter. Hope all ok with you apart from this.
Maybe “reverse” is incorrect terminology, I was going with the language the op used, maybe going into remission is a better way of putting it.I don't think you can reverse it. I could be wrong. Your body isn't producing enough insulin. All you can do is drop your levels and hope to keep them there....I think.
Type 1 diabetes is not producing enough insulin Its an auto immune disease which wipes out your insulin producing cellsI don't think you can reverse it. I could be wrong. Your body isn't producing enough insulin. All you can do is drop your levels and hope to keep them there....I think.
I was talking to a friend and he says that his GP has been prescribing Wegovy (or whatever is the generic name) for weight loss. Seems like everyone wants to go down weight loss pill/shot route.. If it helps, why notI got a message from my docs about a NHS thing to loose weight. So I contacted the docs to say I was up for it. They arranged a phone meeting with one of the docs with me for wednesday last week. I think hes a bit of an arse, but hey, I'm up for it. He didn't call. Reinforcing my opinion of him
