Plant Sterols for managing cholesterol
Does anyone take Plant Sterols to help keep their cholesterol low? Do they affect your INR's ? Do they work? My last cholesterol reading was slightly over 5, and I left GP surgery with a prescription for Statins (Atorvastin). I have read the possible side effects (and the packet has remained untouched

Reducing with insulin resistance.
I'm new here and was diagnosed with insulin resistance after the glucose tolerance test. Currently taking 1000 mg twice a day and reduced by 25 lbs which fluctuates. Thanks for the welcome!

Insulin resistance (IR)
HOMA-IR: Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance. It marks both the presence and extent of insulin resistance that you might currently express. It is a terrific way to reveal the dynamic between your baseline (fasting) blood sugar and the response hormone insulin. HOMA-IR = (Glucose x Insulin

A diabetes study recommending treatment based on clinical features published in The Lancet

What a difference a year makes !
I posted the following in the 'Bridge to 10k' forum a few days ago and it has been suggested that Couch to 5k members might also find it interesting and hopefully supportive to your running journeys: I recently passed the anniversary of my starting c25k. So what's happened during that year? Well Runkeeper

Sugar
Getting a bit lost with all the posts! Someone wrote in recently about flares after eating sugar so thought it worth adding that I had 2 very bad days twice recently after eating quite a lot of refined sugar (once at Easter!). I am not diabetic and still have a relaxed attitude e.g. to a smidgeon of

I realise this is the weight-loss forum, but diabetes and obesity are inextricably linked, and we seem to have had quite a few posts on the subject lately. I was unable to respond to lucigret's tag on a closed thread, so herewith a few thoughts on the subject. 1) Back when my mum was a ward sister,

"Algae Cal and Strontiuml"
Algae Cal Plus and Strontium. Does anybody have any experience of these supplements? They claim to improve bone density. They are very expensive.....but their claims to improve bone density seem somewhat plausible. And they are heavily marketed once you show any interest on Facebbok ad......keeps repeating

How strict are you on low-carbs?
I’m trying to bring my A1c back to 5.6. My last test in April showed 5.7. It had always been 5.6 since diagnosed with PMR/GCA in January 2019. I Started on 40 mg of pred, now at 10. I had gotten somewhat off track after Christmas. I’ve read that 40- 50 grams of carbs a day is considered low

Intermittent Fasting and Keto: The Pros and Cons
Intermittent fasting (IF) and ketogenic diets are all the rage now. They both promote fat burning. But how well do these two approaches combine? Ketogenic diets promote fat burning by restricting carbs, which forces you to rely more on dietary fat. IF restricts all calories for a large part of the day
