Ah. Would you be in trouble if you didn’t take them every day?

Maybe research 16:8 intermittent fasting as regards the Type 2 diabetes !!

I’d add B6 to that if I were you. Maybe try that and see how you feel in a month’s time.

There’s diabetes on both sides of my family but I’ve dodged the bullet to date, somehow. I wonder what intermittent fasting (beyond what I already vaguely do sometimes) would do for me if diabetes was to come for me and my pancreas now. What you saying?

Just that research shows that intermittent fasting can reverse type 2 diabetes in some cases .. just needs researching properly beforehand

I take tablets for an enlarged prostate, me and two of my neighbours both older one has the same as me and one has cancer of the bladder, he was telling us how they look like mushrooms .

We had a good laugh about the doctors putting their fingers in the bum hole

It’s good to share experience’s with people that have been in the same situation.

I’ve been known to do a bit of intermittent fasting here-and-there so maybe that’s why I haven’t developed diabetes by now. Looking at my family history (it’s strongly hereditary on both sides) you’d be shocked that I’ve dodged the bullet. My grandma was ill with severe osteoporosis for the last year and a half of her life but in the end it was a diabetic complication (something like that) that actually killed her so I am a little extra-wary of it but I do a lot of things which might happen to fly in the face of diabetes and take a lot of vitamins (although I only started doing that last year or something) so maybe this is all part of the indirect prevention.

I'm terrible at taking medications, I have to set alarms or it just won't happen. Same goes for the kid's meds if they have them. Eldest has taken over responsibility for her own medications when she has them now... much better at it than me.

At the moment I'm not on anything regular, just anti-inflammatories and the 30mg codeines for foot flare ups which have now been joined by other joint flare ups as well (opposite knee is ****ed now due to limp, AND the latest fun addition is that a shoulder injury from when I was in my teens has caught up with me). Falling apart at the seams!

Where did codeine come from, for ordinary foot-inflammation? Is it really that severe?

Did a qualified doctor tell you to take them or a Big Pharma marketing department?

There’s nothing wrong with taking vitamin-supplements, LT. Come on, now. Stop this unwaveringly cynical bait.

A couple of friends of my brother in law .. one is a nutritionist the other a cancer specialist..

I know absolutely nothing about these matters so I figured they’d know at least more than I ..

Anyways since I’ve been intermittent fasting ( 7 years ) I simply don’t get poorly ( aside from Covid 19 ) and I’m on zero medication so these may just be the icing on the cake .. so to speak

Yeah, definitely add vitamin B6 to your regime. If there’s room for another vitamin.

Half of modern pharmacology is all about marketing. On the list of capitalistic marketing sins taking vitamins (especially D, which it’s proven that we all need) is the least of them. If you personally don’t want to take them, fine, but I personally wouldn’t dissuade someone from a trip to Holland and Barrett or Boots on a Saturday afternoon to buy supplements. There’s a lot worse you can buy so come on. Let’s not be silly about this now.

You do you, then. Leave Zizu alone. You don’t impose your own medicinal preferences (or lack of) onto other people.

[Redway]

On what planet does vitamin D turn someone into a soulless ghoul anyway? Should people not take lithium, either, going by that logic? It dulls creative intelligence but it’s a gold-standard treatment for bipolar disorder (and even treatment-resistant major depression to an extent) for a reason.

I do eat potatoes ( in one form) every day plus three eggs per day and at least one banana… and meat /chicken and a fair amount of milk plus other things

Do I still need B6 supplement do you think ?

Most people don't need vitamins if they eat a balanced diet and get proper exercise. The exception is vitamin D that older people cannot retain so well, so they can need a boost over the winter months

People of colour (black people anyway) also tend to need more vitamin D in this part of the world. Black people not getting enough of it is actually a serious problem.

Yes. I say that because vitamin B6 has been suggested as an off-label aid for people with autism spectrum disorders. That’s why I’m recommending that suggestion specifically for you but by all means do your own research on the whole thing and speak to your doctor/pharmacist. Don’t just take my word for it.

I did a little research last night .. I’ll certainly consider it though ..

Thanks again !!
