Fainting/dizzy spells/syncope
A few months ago I slowly crumpled up and fell to the floor and passed out after a 6 mile walk, followed a rapid recovery before my fellow walkers could get their hands on my wallet. I was fortunate to get in and see my cardiologist who told me to increase my water levels by 3 pints a day, make sure

Is obesity/diabetes a glucose problem or an Insulin problem?
When you eat carbohydrates (and especially refined carbohydrates or sugar) they increase your blood glucose. Usually, for decades, insulin controls your blood glucose - but hyperinsulinaemia is not good for you. It is only when the problem is beginning to get out of control, and your insulin cannot cope

How do I avoid hunger?
Sugar and (refined) carbohydrates make you hungry: Refined carbohydrates are converted into sugar very quickly. Sugar gets into your bloodstream as Blood Glucose. Blood Glucose spikes Insulin. Insulin takes glucose out of the bloodstream (and stores it as fat). Insulin prevents you from burning fat.

Newbies: What will break my fast?
The theory is that, to lose weight (or get into ketosis or autophagy), you switch from "fat storage" to "fat-burning" mode, and carbohydrate will "break your fast" and get you out of fat burning mode. The Glycaemic Index of a food is (compared to glucose) The speed at which a food stimulated insulin.

Hi there I'm new to the group, and I'm apologising in advance for the long post. Advice is really needed. I was diagnosed as having non diabetic hypoglycaemia a few month ago, I was given some printed out advice from the GP on that advice it states I am not diabetic I am not borderline diabetic but

Dextrose or lucozade tablets
Hi, as a type 1 diabetic for 43 years I rely on these to treat low blood sugars. I’m now coeliac and have read they’re off limits? I’m a bit confused as had only neurological symptoms before I was diagnosed - which have mostly gone after a month but I now have some stomach issues and wondered if these

Low carb diets...???
I really need to find out more about this. A couple of days ago, I got my lab results back and they are clearly indicative of insulin resistance: fasting glucose 110 mg/dL (ref 70-105) and fasting insulin 18 uU/mL (ref 2.6-24.9; should be <5 according to several low carb forums I've visited). Anyway,

Hello, I have recently got my blood & saliva test back. I cannot see my NEW Dr until Nov 14th. She did email me on blood work and said everything looked good except iron and wanted me to take an iron supplement. Before I went to her the first time in August 2019, I was dealing with severe fatigue, exercise

How long does it take to get into "Fat burning mode" with IF, LCHF and exercise?
Intermittent Fasting is not eating all day, and, when you are not eating, your glycogen energy gets depleted, and you start to get energy from your fat reserves. (Intermittent) Fasting is about so much more than weight loss, but burning fat to lose weight and improve body-fat percentage the main reason

What is energy?
This page on the British Nutrition Foundation website was mentioned here recently. It encapsulates almost every incorrect belief in mainstream nutrition, and I thought it would be instructive to pull it apart: https://www.nutrition.org.uk/healthyliving/basics/what-is-energy.html I do realise, incidentally

Endo symptoms or IBS??
Hi all, I'm new here! I'm 26 and was diagnosed with extensive presumptive endometriosis/salpingosis in 2014, along with a retroverted uterus. All through my teens my periods were ridiculously intense - I used to have to stay home from school some days as I was constantly sat on the toilet both constantly

Sugar and cancer, in particular Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL/SLL) – what you need to know
We've had a few questions lately about whether we should avoid sugar after a diagnosis of CLL, from members concerned about the influence of sugar in their diet on their CLL progression and of course because of the simplistic claim that sugar feeds cancer cells, so starving ourselves of sugar will starve

Update on Labs
As a result of some of the helpful comments from fellow warriors I began tracking the blood levels below in addition to my compulsive monthly focus on PSA. The oncologist has had me getting a comprehensive metabolic test every 2 weeks for the first 3 months on Zytiga to see how it affects the kidneys
