I personally love the idea of iridology, whether it can be scientifically proven or not. I would be interested in studying it, and I'm planning a trip to the iridologist as a milestone-treat if (when) I manage to keep raw for 6 months!

Day 16...
Good decision not to eat before bed last night when BS was low...this morning was BS 5.7, so not too bad.
As expected had some muffin side-effects. Really struggled to get up (getting up has been much better since going raw), woke up with a puffy face and swollen tummy (tummy is much flatter in the mornings these days).
Drank breakfast in the car as was running late for work..g

I found that when both me and my partner typed everything we ate into Fitday for a few days, we had EXACTLY the same protein %...and he eats a lot of meat!

126. Re: Weight loss
I have been probably between about 90% raw for two weeks now (I know, not long ) and I am noticing that my clothes are fitting better. I am about 118 and 5'4, nut I don't weigh myself because I get obsessive! Not sure whether it's "weight" that is going, or just bloatedness from poor food and poor digestion and and poor elimination. My tummy is SO flat in the mornings now compared t

127. Re: RAW FOOD BAR
I like the raw food bars, but for me the problem is they just don't fill me up at all...I could eat four or five at once and they're 300 calories or so each! And they're expensive. I tried them, realised I liked them a bit TOO much and stopped buying them

Made the right decision to reduce my levemir to 3 units after early evening exercise...yesterday bedtime BS 7.6, this morning BS 3.7 - imagine what that would have been if I had had 4 units levemir.
Ate a sugar tablet and half an orange that was in the fridge and then went to the gym. Only did a few minutes walking to warm up and then some weights as I got up too late to get a pro

Observations from week two...
1) my clothes are fitting better - not sure that this is "weight" loss as such as I have noticed that I am far less bloated than I used to be. Also no more puffy face in the mornings
2) My skin is a much better colour. The only times since starting raw vegan that I have woken up pale/"pasty" have been when I have eaten a lot of cooked food

Much better am reading today BS 4.4
Decided I would cycle to school today (10 miles each way) now that I have had my bike a couple of weeks and am getting more used to cycling on the roads. So...set off at 6:20am as I had no idea how long it would take and wanted to be in plenty of time for 8am meeting with deputy head. Wanted to have a veggie juice before I went but didn't have

I also have started oil pulling since seeing the link for that website on another thread. I think it's kind of fun, too early yet though to say whether it is having any effect.

Yesterday bedtime BS 8.1
2am this morning BS 3.1
6am this morning BS 4.2
Woke up quite grouchy this morning after having a nice night time hypo. Not sure whether that was the increase back up to 4 units levemir or the long walk in the early evening. Will try 4 units for a couple more days and see what happens.

Day 12...
Have to tell you first that I have just this minute found out something really interesting...typed in my day's food into fitday.com, and my partner's as he is also keen to see what nutrition he is getting, and our average carbs/fat/protein % for the days we have entered so far were EXACTLY the same. 63% of calories were carbs, 24% fat and 13% protein. So I am getting the same amount

134. Re: Juicing-Danger?
I also love juices! But vegetable ones rather than fruit. I start off everyday with a pint or so of green juice, for example this morning I had cucumber, green bean, celery, lots of spinach and half a lime. IT tastes SO GOOD to me now. When I first started off juicing a couple of years ago I needed more fruit juices because I didn't like the taste of vegetable, but now it's definitely vegetab

Tried out OIL PULLING before breakfast! Was a bit strange but not unpleasant.
8am walked up to gym, did some weights, walked back. Ate a banana to keep my BS up. No insulin.

This thread has been so useful. It has made me consider more carefully what I am eating. Have been on fitday and had a look and went out to buy lots of niacin/zinc/selenium foods yesterday (co-incidentally seem to be the same foods for all!)

This morning BS 5.1 A bit higher than I would have liked...I like it when I am in the fours when I wake up. I have to say I am really noticing the difference in my BS now I have reduced the Levemir from 4 units to 3. Everything seems higher now. I think it must mean that I am getting to the right dosage now, though, as every time I have changed my dose bef

141. cool!!!
Hi all
Have just discovered Fitday...how cool is that!!!
I seemed to be really low on zinc and niacin...while we've been talking a bit lately about availability of vitamins on raw vegan does anyone know how I can improve my intake of these?
Thanks

This morning BS 6.7 Too high again! Don't like it when my BS is high, much prefer to be on the low side

Hi Angie
Thanks for posting your experiences...always nice to talk to other diabetics!
It is proving to be an interesting experience posting about raw foods on the diabetes forum. There are two or three people who regularly respond to my posts and who are really good to discuss things with - they are quite open minded. Am not getting any response form other members...but then I notice tha

Yesterday bedtime BS 7.7
8pm 3 units Levemir
Felt like someone had stamped on my head when I woke up this morning, not helped by getting up at 3am to sleep on the sofa due to partner's beer-feast induced snoring Also looked very white, puffy and had big dark circles under my eyes. So all in all that nasty junky food left my body in a bit of a state. Yuck. Also ha

I can't cope with sugar at all, one sniff and I'm off until I have abused my body horribly.
I also agree that there MUST be some biological cause for it as well as emotional. I'm at a stage now where I don't even like the taste of junk and it goes totally against all my principles yet it still finds its way into my mouth in vast quantities now and then.
I have also noticed that I need gree

150. Give me serotonin!
Hi all
As you may know, I am posting my raw food blog on this site and also on a diabetes forum.
Someone on the diabetes forum has very kindly suggested that the reason why I get such awful sugar and starch cravings is because the serotonin in my brain is getting low. The way he expressed it made a lot of sense to me.
I'm now wondering how I can get more serotonin from a raw food diet,
