It's hard to decide. So I haven't clicked on the poll. I'll let you decide what to do with me! Prior to treatment with ARVs I would have described my pattern as definitely progressive. Plateaus for a while (but sorta slow sliding), then a ratchet down from which I didn't escape. Then a...

I've decided to try tracking various breakfasts that I eat, to see which produces the highest sugar response. I'm taking baseline sugar at time zero (thankfully these readings are now in range - when I'd try this in April all my initial morning readings were higher than they ought to be!). Then...

Just spotted this on Twitter. Fitbit trying to develop a real time blood sugar monitor. My nephew is T1 diabetic. This could be really helpful for him. https://medcitynews.com/2017/11/fitbit-ceo-details-ambitions-diabetes-management/

I too think that the old calories in/calories out premise is not quite as simple as it sounds. Sure we can measure calories in, but the "calories out" part is not just dependent on our exercise. Of course, extreme calorie restriction in a long term starvation situation will ALWAYS lead to...

I wonder if there are certain foods that are predictable across multiple people/genotypes/biomes - either in their ability to produce a sugar spike or in their reliability at NOT producing said spike. This information could lead to general lists of useful starting points for everyone - as is...

Okay that is interesting. I didn't track that aspect. I'm not diabetic - but as said above I had some high morning readings that would suggest at least pre-diabetic. (T2) Yes, but perhaps it is easier to start with foods that are not putting excess sugars into your blood. Later perhaps there...

I'm on Twitter. I'll try and remember on Monday. :P This is my pinned Tweet.

Really this is fascinating stuff. I'm interested. I was testing my blood sugars a while ago, and still have some of the kit. My fasting sugars tend to be high, and I discovered the work of Dr Jason Fung on the benefits of fasting for sugar control. (A T2 diabetic relative came off all her...

I imagine it probably is good enough to make broad suggestions. Probably the algorithms could be refined further with more subjects studied.

@Jenny TipsforME - We were talking about this a while back. Interesting stuff.

UNREST is currently scoring highly on Rotten Tomatoes. It's getting some glowing reviews and high scores. I think leaving more reviews on this site would be a great way to highlight the film and raise awareness: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/unrest_2017 I tweeted this link out too, so a...
