I have T2 diabetes, and although my blood sugars are down below the accepted lower levels, my cholesterol is OK, my blood pressure is OK, it's my weight that is the problem.

Due to two very arthritic knees, and the situation with him indoors, I find it very hard to exercise, but I am trying to get my weight down. I have started a food diary, I will weigh myself tomorrow, and then track my carb consumption. I will set an initial ceiling of 70 grams per day, and try to reduce it to 50, whilst trying to walk a little way every morning.

Seems I have to be logged in to contact admin .....

I just got this weird email at the email .............................

Hi!

I came across your page (http://thesleepingdogs.net/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=40122) and noticed you had shared some fitness resources.

I recently published a data-backed study that details the usage of Fitness and Food related posts on instagram.

You can check it out here: http://fitnessgoals.com/guide/ultimate-guide-fitness/

It has tons of interesting data, graphs and infographics, and I think it would be a great addition to your site that your audience would also find valuable.

In return, I can share your page with our huge social media following. Let me know if you're interested :)


Keep up the great work!

Morgan

Tastes like shit, why buy comfort food just to reheat it because it's healthier?

Also, login you old bastard.

I can't log in you bow legged twat!
I haven't a clue what I did when I was a little inebriated.
All I wanted to do was change my password because other passwords are no longer available to me.


Send me an email from the contact admin option, I'll sort it from there.

How the fuck did you know that I was bandy? :ooer:

I have special powers.

Oh, and don't eat eggs from Belgium, they've been found to contain an insecticide called fipronil. The FSA says:

"Our risk assessment, based on all the information available, indicates that as part of a normal healthy diet this low level of potential exposure is unlikely to be a risk to public health and there is no need for consumers to be concerned."

So definitely don't eat eggs from Belgium.

Have a look ..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29629761

Home grown eggs here. Still have a couple of chickens.

Thanks Jack.

Lucky you with the chickens - I've made sure our eggs are local at least.

One needs to voluntarily control ones diet for starters and not wholly rely on prescribed medicine.

Being extremely fat is a no no.

Mr Starbold I was slim when I was diagnosed.
Never had a sweet tooth.
Never did crisps sweets fizzy drinks.
Never been a snacker.
Two meals a day.

Pasta I have recooked.
Bread I have only the best not a lot and never ever white.
Don't eat white bread.
The less processed a food is the better.
The nearer to nature the better.
I make my own yogurt and shove berries in mostly grown in the garden but also what we call ditch fruit when in season.
I also put honey in my yogurts but a lot of diabetics can't handle that. Not in the beginning anyway.
But I'm now eating almost what the rest of the family eat just not huge portions.
I eat less meat but very high quality from a local butcher.
The meat was smiling at us last week.
A five quid supermarket chicken is nine quid at the butchers. Almost twice the price.
Bacon is wonderful.
Twice the price so I eat half as much and I love vegatable curries.

Are they his HbA1c readings (which is how Drs track diabetes as day to due fluctuate so the three monthly average reading is used)? If they are the figures aren't bad at all and equates arise from 6.2 to 6.8 ish. They cannot be a pin prick blood sugar reading unless it's not in the UK and the measurements are done differently.



Yes, it seems confusing. Apparently, the readings have changed. What's now 51, used to be a 7...not very dangerous, but already in the diabetes zone....When he was on 46, he was apparently still on a safe level, 51 has put him in the danger zone. It is very confusing for the ordinary person...but it looks like he is starting to adjust. Been shopping with him today....took us over 2 hours studying all the sugar contents on various products. Like we learned earlier...4g of sugar = 1 teaspoon. Loads of products he used to buy once, we put back on the shelf by just looking at the sugar content.

Anyway, we did buy a bar of chocolate ( 90% of cocoa) which has very little sugar and seems to be the healthiest...let me tell ya, forget it, it's horribly bitter and tastes like shit ...go for the 70%.

Check for carbs not just sugar and learn what hidden sugars are.
There are alcohol sugars which you don't see on the labels as sugars.
Look at a box of bnreakfast cereal and you'll see that the carb levels are as high as 90%!
That's deadly.
It's bad news just for an ordinary person trying to lose weight cos they only checked the sugar.
You must check the carb levels.
For snacks I'm into veg tinned fish pork scratching nuts.



Wow, you just made me check my rice bubbles, I chose them because it has the least amount of sugar of all cereals, only 2.6g per serv, but they have 25.6 carbs ( 30g )per serv without milk, which is basically 85.4 carbs per 100g. So that is too much, right? That's scary :ooer:

How do you handle not eating breads, pastas, rice, spuds etc???

I might look into the fatty things, I quite like bacon, eggs, steaks, pork, some fried foods, cream and so on, but can I do without the above things mentioned?? I don't have diabetes , but I wouldn't mind living a healthier lifestyle so that I don't get it one day.

Jeez it's difficult to find the right balance :ooer:

Anyway, I will definitely pass on your recommendations to my mate, so thanks for that. I will study it with him.
