The lowcarb wars are all bullshit !
I have worked and lived in London most of my life. I have worked and lived amongst people of every colour and race, every religion, and nationality. I learned a long time ago they were all the same as me. They wanted to be left in peace, they wanted to be treated with respect. They wanted a chance to earn a decent living and give their kids a better life than themselves. I have never had any problems with anyone, I treat people with respect and they have treated me with respect. We have to live and let live. I love being around...

Dr Paul Jones - University of Carmarthen the genuine article or psychotic spoofer ?
Hi folks this came in today as a comment. Allegedly from Dr Paul Jones - University of Carmarthen. As regulars will know we have received numerous negative comments under the name of Dr Paul Jones. I do not know whether these are from Dr Paul Jones or even if the man actually exists, but one thing is sure, the sender is completely un-hinged.BTW I have removed the name of the person being ridiculed, because they are not a member of our team and do not comment on...
Women With Diabetes Neglected Before and During Pregnancy
There is much room for improvement in the medical care of women with diabetes before they conceive and during pregnancy, new research indicates. This neglect gives rise to poor outcomes, with a significantly higher rate of stillbirth and infant death than is seen in the general population, one of the studies illustrates.Although the new research was conducted separately in 2 countries with different healthcare systems — Israel and the United Kingdom — both studies reveal that there is a big gap between what is recommended and...

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
I thought of the post title and the famous Christmas song Winter Wonderland came to mind. Apparently it was first published in 1934. The composer was Felix Bernard (1897-1944) and the lyricist was Richard B. Smith (1901-1935). I think the most popular versions of this classic Christmas song, Winter Wonderland, were recorded by the Andrews Sisters and Perry Como. Of course you may know of, and prefer, other popular singers.I think that the...
DCUK quote of the year from Phoenix !
"Perhaps I should just stick to the 1.5 section...... but what about discussions, other medications, diet?"The best idea the woman ever had in my opinion. This is a woman that thinks Hope Warshaw and a diet of 50% carbs per day should be the way to go for type two diabetics. The Phoenix aka the slippery one has spent years rubbishing low carb while she sits back with all the tools, Insulin, a pump, test strips, top medical advice etc. All the time undermining people who in many cases can't even get their hands on some...

Home is what you make it.
Excuse me should I be wrong, but, I believe most who read this blog have a comfortable home. I am sure there could be improvements we’d like to make, improve the heating system, change the colour scheme, perhaps buy a new sofa, hang a different picture on the wall, have different accessories. We could probably make quite a long list should we set our minds to it. Is this more of a woman’s prerogative or a mans? Well I know many men who take a great pride and interest in their home as much as the woman of the house, so I guess...

Worse things than death ! well almost !
Weekly rant number 1My old man was a very hard worker, he became an engineer after a spell in the Royal Marines during the WW2. One of his many sayings that is repeatable on a public blog was"I'd rather be worked to death than bored to death" I agree with him. When work is really interesting and stretchers your mind constantly, the hours fly past. I remember working 12 hours plus on many occasions and almost begrudged stopping to eat or have to sleep, such was the interest and challenge.Over my working life so much has...

Leading Neurologist Says Grains Are Bad For Your Brain - Can Lead To Dementia, Chronic Headaches And Depression
Gluten allergies don't exist said a leading doctor last week, which surely should have given comfort to those of us who have avoided wheat grains for fear of headaches and bloating.But a leading neurologist, Dr David Perlmutter, has said we should avoid grains altogether, as they are contributing to some serious conditions and illnesses such asdementia, depression and chronic headaches.For those of us who have made the switch to healthier grains such as wholemeal, this will come as disconcerting news.But the doctor,...

The Complicated Story of Saturated Fat
By Gregory Katz, MDEveryday in clinic, we tell our patients to choose foods low in saturated fat. Because these foods raise plasma cholesterol, the thinking goes, they cause heart disease. Today, every major medical organization – from theAmerican Heart Association to the Harvard School of Public Health to the USDA [1-3] – recommends a diet low in saturated fat to prevent and treat heart disease. The fat-cholesterol-heart disease connection is so thoroughly integrated into both medicine and popular culture that it’s become...
