Glucose Meters
Do home test meters typically test higher or lower w.r.t. lab results ? I understand that there is a margin of acceptable error and the results could also vary depending on the validity of the test strips, its storage and cleanliness of fingertips. My question is - do they typically tend to overstate

Stopping the pain.
I'm going to write today to shine the spotlight on the nutrient that should be of most concern to you as a diabetic. If it isn't, or is something you don't give a lot of thought to I hope at least it will when you finish reading. There are only three macronutrients - protein, fat and carbohydrate. Every

Why do diabetic people need to eat more fat?
Diabetes is a condition that affects the pancreas to the extent that they do not release the required quantity of insulin (later on when bcf gets deteriorated in Type 2), which can lead to a high blood sugar level as the body starts to absorb excess glucose from the food that it ingests. This can be

The formation of type 2 diabetes is directly related to how our muscles convert sugar, a landmark new study has found.
The work, published in Molecular Metabolism, is the first strong evidence that when muscles fail to convert glucose into a substance called glycogen, it leads to the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes. "The study also explains why one of the reasons patients with diabetes don't exercise properly is that they

Glucose: The silent killer
Normal aging predisposes most of us to metabolic complications as a result of impaired glucose metabolism. If we fail to recognize this fact, we are doomed to suffer a plethora of degenerative conditions that were largely preventable. In reviewing thousands of blood test results and published scientific

Blood Results Back From GP
My faith in the treatment of Thyroid conditions has hit a all time low with the NHS! I had a follow up blood test on the advice of the Endo. My original TS4 levels were on the high side. She also wanted me to reduced the T3 medication although I am middle range on that. Of course T3 is bad for us

Hi lovely peeps out there, I have a question about LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) I believe this an enzyme test that is found in almost all body tissues. In my research I found out this plays an important role in cellular respiration, the process by which glucose (sugar) from food is converted into usable
