Flora, How much water are you drinking each day between meals? Also what ratio of water to dry oats are you using when you cook the oats? I am just wondering if you might be a bit dehydrated and needing to eat more fresh vegetables and fruit.

Ken - Thanks so much for all of your efforts. What you are doing is very intriguing and impressive. Would you mind (if you haven't done so already) sharing a sample meal plan for a week. I'm curious what you eat on a day to day basis. Thanks again! Trey

RE: Bananas and type2 diabetes

Hi Ken et al. I have been following your blood sugar control method for a week now. The software for my Abbott Freestyle Libre glucose monitor has a forecast HbA1c function. It was 5.8% before, but over the last week the estimate dropped to 5.2%!...
