Why do diabetes charities promote recipes that push blood sugars up? Aren't we supposed to be helping those living with diabetes to LOWER their blood sugars?

Where have all your Swallows gone ?? This windscreen covered in splatted insects after driving North through pastured fields gives a clue. Drive south through pesticide cleared arable fields hardly any insects The Swallows there have nothing to eat Year on year the countryside

Whether we regard/disragrd A1c as an out dated marker, the point is GPs have long failed patients when it comes to diabetes type 2. When you wait for some to develop full blown diabetes and treat them in my eyes its a tragedy. Pre-diabetes is when the treatment and advice begins

18 billion. That's the cost of our collective failure to tackle diabetes. Standard care does not work. Patients walk around with hba1c's of 7,8,9% and are told this is fine, enjoy yourself and simply take your meds. When they have complications we pretend it's unavoidable.

You don't need grass fed meat or eggs from chickens that get massages. Standard supermarket products work just fine. I feed myself for £3 ($4) daily eating this way. Goes up if I add more protein.

It's been a great month for our diabetes services. Our new group started off well, we had volunteered support from a local #diabetes specialist GP. Another person achieving amazing results all through a #WhatsApp support group. What more can we ask for? 😁 #lowcarb in #Bradford

For people with Type 2 diabetes a high blood sugar damages vital organs over time. So best to avoid foods that put blood glucose up Not just sugar itself but the starchy carbs like bread and breakfast cereals that digest down into A LOT OF SUGAR!!
