the diabetes is not terrible I can stay under a1c of 7 via diet and I do it.

I don't know anything about diabetes except you can't eat any white foods.

Question, is non dairy creamer bad for diabetes?

Someone I know piles that shit in their coffee and then the implant they have goes off and they say its not connected.

its terrible.

if you have diabetes and cholesterol . you have to drink black coffee unsweetened.

I learned that in the Navy as we would run out of sugar and milk while at sea.

as i mentioned i have decent cholesterol so I can have heavy cream with coffee if I want to.

Oh my blood pressure and weight is decent so I can eat a ton of steak and eggs 🍳 with salt or mustard

Or steak eggs 🥚 bacon peppers onions and cheese 🧀 with some dried tomatoes.

It is a dozen eggs.
a skirt steak 16 oz i cut it into pieces about the size of my pinky.
One red bell pepper chop it into piece about the size of my pinky
one onion. dice it smal
a oz of sun dried tomato 🍅 make strips
some coconut oil

melt the coconut in the pan oil as it is like butter in the fridge
cook the onions and bell peppers
add the steak
mix the eggs in a bowl
add to the frying pan mix it a bit
add the dried tomatoes.

lay various slices of different cheeses.

the frying has to be pretty big. remember a dozen eggs.

this dish serves four to six.

my wife and I will eat some for breakfast. I have it for lunch. nuke it hot
and eat the left over for break fast nuke it hot.

I fuck with it vary the veggies. add some bacon to it or add brooklyn naked biltong (cleanest biltong made)
it is really good. likely it has saved my life

my a1c was at 12 which is dude you are going to die.
I found out i was diabetic checked my prostate (this is a big killer in my family)

doctor freaked. called my house my cell and emailed me.

I did a shit ton of research to see if I could get my numbers low without drugs.

Ok, you were able to lower your A1C quite significantly.
What is the main component that did it, in your opinion?
Not adding sugar? eating lots of meat? maybe veggies?

For another opinion, I'm somewhat convinced by the low carb folk when it comes to diet for avoiding diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Mind you I haven’t really scoured the literature myself as of yet in any great detail (always damn busy). However, when this topic comes up on hackernews I do go through the comments and look at the odd link posted.

Here’s a few I’ve read/watched recently, more cholesterol focused than diabetes but I believe they are related.

https://peterattiamd.com/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-part-i/ - A pretty detailed guide on all aspects cholesterol. Referencing could be better, but still not bad.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32653422/- Review and Meta-Analysis on egg consumption and cardiovascular disease.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-y – an interesting one, specifically figure 2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXKJaQeteE0 – a nice easy to understand video, no real detail though.

To me it all just kind of makes sense. Carbs trigger an insulin response, today’s carbs are supercharged, therefore pancreas gets worn out. In addition, to that the carbs affect the cholesterol, 2 birds with one stone.

Having said all that, just cutting out majority processed foods would probably be enough. But low carb, with lots of vegetables IMO would probably be best.

Good info there. I read a book called The Obesity Code which contained several revelations for me but I'm not going to reinvent the wheel since someone else has already done it much better that I could have
