How does our UK NHS practice help 143 of our patients with T2D achieve drug free remission? Cut the carbs, base meals on protein and turn the white stuff green. Instead of rice or potatoes green beans, cabbage or courgettes. Mostly it’s that simple. Remember starchy carbs are sugar too

When I got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes back in Sept 2015 I had already spent 28 years in pharma sales meeting doctors & promoting antidiabetics & cardiovascular meds.

I could have easily taken the route of taking meds & eating what I wanted.

But we had a strong history of diabetes in the family tree being a south indian & i could see that the disease only worsens as time goes by.

Everyone starts with 1 med & graduates to multiple pills & even gets insulin added at a later stage.The sales of Insulins are higher in the southern parts of India.

I did not want to land up here & my search for an alternate solution started.

I knew nothing about carbs, proteins, fats etc. For me food was food.

But my googling got me to dLife.in & anup @dlifein

Here he was fiercely promoting LCHF.I did more research & found that low carb was given as a treatment in the ages when no meds or insulin was available.

This led to me giving up rice, idlis, dosas, upma, pongal & other delicious carby foods in favour of proteins like paneer, yogurt & cheese.

I added up eggs later to get adequate proteins.

Its a trade off or sacrifice for a better pill free life.

Does this mean i don't have above carby foods? no.. these are occasional foods when i am stuck in a situation i cannot help but deviate.

But I am 99% compliant to low carb.

How many of you can say that you are not taking any pill for diabetes or any modern chronic disorder after almost 9 years?

I get clients who are in the younger age group like late 30s and are already on multiple pills.

This graduating to multiple pills in the 1st decade of diabetes diagnosis is a serious situation & i urge all to evaluate shifting to a low carb lifestyle.

Think and decide today..

Individuals diagnosed with prediabetes can reduce their long-term risk of death and diabetes-related health complications if they delay the onset of diabetes for just four years through diet and exercise. Guangwei Li of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital and colleagues report these findings in a new study published July 9 in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.

Addicted to energy drinks: ‘Years of abusing them have caught up with me. I now have diabetes’

Medics were just hours away from sanctioning the drastic surgery after Barry Mayled’s feet had been plagued by horrific ulcers which steadily worsened despite extensive and varied treatments.

However, at the 11th hour the Welshman’s legs were saved, thanks to a microwave treatment for skin lesions which has revolutionised the podiatry sector and which delivered the healing he’d hoped for.

Not getting the optimal amount of sleep increases the risk of damage to small blood vessels in the eyes and kidneys of type 2 diabetics, new research has found. The findings suggest addressing this risk factor could prevent long-term complications.

Microvascular disease affects the small blood vessels, particularly in the kidneys and eyes, and is a common diabetic complication. Diabetic nephropathy causes the deterioration of kidney function and eventual failure; diabetic retinopathy can lead to vision loss and blindness. So, it’s crucial to stop microvascular disease before it progresses.

Here’s how smoking can worsen your diabetes
Smoking exacerbates health issues in diabetic individuals, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and complications. Dr V Mohan highlights that smoking raises insulin resistance, impairs blood circulation, and heightens fatal health outcomes.

Glycaemic index and glycaemic load of selected packaged vegan foods

Abstract
While there are data regarding the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of many foods in the literature, the values for packaged vegan analogue foods have not been previously published, although processed vegan foods usually contain more carbohydrates than their animal-based counterparts. This study was carried out to determine the GI and GL values of a selection of packaged vegan foods popular in Türkiye. To determine the GI and GL of test foods, 12 healthy volunteer females participated in the study. Participants randomly consumed test and reference foods (glucose and white bread) on each trial day, and capillary blood glucose was measured at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins in duplicate. The GIs of vegan schnitzel, vegan chickpea burger, vegan mince pita, vegan chocolate, vegan snack bar and vegan cheese were 26.1 ± 19.61 (low), 27.1 ± 17.21 (low), 65.1 ± 28.60 (moderate), 42.7 ± 22.32 (low), 63.6 ± 45.86 (moderate), 36.4 ± 16.85 (low), respectively, according to the glucose reference, and were 28.2 ± 16.17 (low), 34.7 ± 18.26 (low), 81.2 ± 31.96 (high), 48.8 ± 12.87 (low), 82.0 ± 54.05 (high), 46.7 ± 28.66 (low), respectively, according to the white bread reference. GLs were 3.5 ± 2.66 (low), 8.6 ± 5.46 (low), 26.6 ± 11.67 (high), 6.1 ± 3.19 (low), 14.2 ± 10.28 (moderate), 5.7 ± 2.63 (low), respectively, according to the glucose reference, and were 3.8 ± 2.19 (low), 11.0 ± 5.80 (moderate), 33.1 ± 13.04 (high), 7.0 ± 1.84 (low), 18.4 ± 12.12 (moderate), 7.3 ± 4.47 (low), respectively, according to the white bread reference. The data from this study provide preliminary data for the GIs and GLs of packaged and processed vegan foods and show that the GIs and GLs of meat and cheese vegan analogues, while still low or moderate, tend to be higher than their animal-based counterparts which have lower or no glycaemic responses. Further research on the GIs and GLs of more vegan foods is needed.
