    I remember a friend up in Scotland who went to a diabetes group when first diagnosed. He never went again because they spent all their times talking about cake. Meanwhile he went low carb and reversed just about everything.

    It's not all that long ago the BDA along with others were promoting healthy margarine's and low fat spreads containing industrial trans fats, retweeted by two carboholics Collins and Cashin

    Yeah they have made such a huge impact on public health haven't they? I remember when I was young and everyone was fat and diabetic and otherwise ill. Now thanks to dieticians everyone is slim fit and healthy. Oh wait . . .

    management of type 2 diabetes: a
    systematic review

    https://drc.bmj.com/content/bmjdrc/6/1/e000534.full.pdf

    The results are abysmal, just slightly less abysmal than "standard care"

    This is part of the ongoing fightback against VIRTA and all the other results which show huge reductions in HbA1c, reductions in medications, massive weight loss, etc. It doesn't look like meat is responsible for diabetes but let's claim it is and get on the front page of the Guardian.

    Yes I think the reduction in A1c amounted to an underwhelming 0.55 fat lot of use to those diagnosed with high A1c's

    The ADA could have studied some of the denizens of their forum who routinely made 5 - 8% reductions in A1c and sometimes as much as 13%, yes from 18 to 5. But they chose not to, for nearly two decades now. I wonder why that could be

    Milk and Cereal In The Morning Can Help With Managing Diabetes, Study Says

    A new study says milk when consumed with breakfast cereal may provide benefits for those managing diabetes.

    A well-balanced breakfast of carbohydrates, protein and fats is considered key to starting the day.

    “It’s important to include milk,” said Marisa Aguillon, a dietitian and a certified diabetes educator with Parkland Hospital System. “We tend to want to stay away because it’s high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates tend to raise our blood sugar, so it’s important that we kind of be aware of how many portions we’re having of milk.”

    They announced on R4 today diabetes in the UK is now costing a billion pounds a year!
    Some of these PHE people must be invested in big pharma or have refined carbs as grey matter.

    Just like my (and most other people's) "diabetic diet" leaflet

    breakfast

    a bowl of oatmeal with low fat milk and a banana

    a slice of toast with low fat spread and no-sugar-added marmalade

    a glass of orange juice

    Today I had a thickly buttered oatcake with turkey (with salt and fresh ground black pepper) and a couple of cups of coffee, then I didn't need to eat for about 8 hours, because I was still metabolising the food from yesterday's meal. Imagine that!

    Oh good grief!!! I can just about get away with 10g carbs at breakfast, I could probably do that in the evening but why would I want to?

    I cheated a bit yesterday, I stir-fried some bacon, mushrooms, multicoloured peppers and chillies, garlic, olives and chicken in EVOO then simmered them with turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne cardamom and a splash of toasted sesame oil. I used some basmati rice to soak up all the juices. Not much, I probably get through a kilo of rice and half that of quinoa in a year and curiously I'm still not dead.

    Read and weep

    How to make snacks more interesting

    Diabetes UK suggests trying the following ideas:

    Use different types of bread to make snacks. Try pittas stuffed with fillings such as chicken tikka, yoghurt and salad. Or ciabatta or focaccia with mozzarella, tomato and pesto.

    Toast a teacake and top with sliced banana. Drizzle with a little maple syrup if you like.

    Smoothies or milkshakes are simple and delicious. Just mix milk, a fruit of your choice and a few ice-cubes. Pour into a glass and enjoy.

    Pop your own corn. Flavour with salt and pepper, a little sugar, a sprinkle of paprika or even a little finely grated parmesan.
    Noodles. Make up a 100 g pack of noodles, then add some other bits like spring onions, chopped ham or tuna.

    If you can keep a broad range of snack 'ingredients' in your fridge and store cupboard then you should be able to create snacks that appeal to you out of your weekly shop.

    OTOH if you eat proper meals why would you need to snack? Well sometimes I eat various nuts, a thickly buttered oatcake or two with cheese, smoked salmon or turkey etc. but mostly to replace a full meal, not every couple of hours.

    It's not going away any time soon

    Yes a few of them are coming out with the line that actually they never condemned low carb diets. Which is rather spoiled by all their colleagues condemning low carb diets.

    Even Duane Mellor has admitted that low carb diets for diabetes may not be so bad. But then I saw the DUK on the BBC pushing the starvation diet of chemical shakes. Yes like that's going to save the NHS lots of money compared to telling people to eat meat and vegetables eh?
