this law , among others, chills medical studies of palm oil effects in malaysia

but it is not stopping independent scientist outside, from conducting their tests

that's why liver disease is so prevalent in msia (fatty liver etc...) . Even among people whom you don't expect to get. (Slim, physically active people, young adults...)

and liver damages can cause diabetes

i dont see any MPOB publication refuting this, compared to how they are always on the pounce when it relates to heart health

oilve oil don't cause liver damage.

I am diabetic in hospital now. Almost lost my foot due to infection. Diabetic bone lone loss of toes makes it worse. Anyone with diabetes, do regular checks with good dr with diabetes experience. Check xray for bone density, check ultrasound for vascular problem, etc

why suddenly this happened?.. did you change your diet or something?

congrats TS.. the challenge now is to maintain it.. and you know it's very hard in malaysia since food loaded with carbs are everywhere.. i'm fortunate to wfh now so i can eat healthier and prepare my own meals.. last time i work in office and need to join my colleagues go out to eat to fit in.. ate plenty of high carbs and high fats food, almost reaching pre-diabetic myself

Ady transition to olive oil and butter


. How old are you bro?

Well, I do eat cakes (smol ones) on occasions, if I over eat I'll tend to check my blood glucose levels

Never really spike more than 8 (1 hour) nowadays

I joined to many volunteering at work, quite stressful

Fasting blood sugar for last 1 month with weekly finger prick ranges around 5.6-6.4. last HbA1c reading is 6.0 I think late last year.

This is considered pre-diabetic, considering that I have siblings with diabetes? How to improve situation without medication?

Lose weight, less carbs

Do hiit exercise ?

pick and easy exercise and do it everyday. can alternate HIIT or strength training with cardio. Limit processed food and refined carbs

Had diabetic ulcer for a while, it led to infection.

I am not yet old enough to retire. Cannot even take out my epf yet. Also insurance got problem.

Sorry to hear that...
If you don't mind telling, how long have you been diagnosed with it?

Ur diabetic hba1c is in what range before this?

Currently doing 16hrs IF on weekdays only which helps in controlling weight. Still recovering from plantar fasciitis since last Oct, hence very little to no exercise.

Problem with food is eating out. Hard to control card intake.

Diabetes very easy spike inflamation.. hence plantar fascitis is one of it. Inflammation jam down there..
Ur recovery is using steroid injection?

Maybe start statin lowering cholesterol to reduce inflammation first

Cook at home bro

Or just learn to control?

I got no issues not eating carbs - rice/noodles/bread etc etc although I love them, just think how much problems my family has to go through caring me is enough

For exercise, since foot related maybe swimming or upper body (weights)

I just need to move, no need to do all those crazy things

Don't think it's diabetes related as I think I was at pre-diabetes level for donkey years as far as I can remember. This foot condition only triggers as I was doing some exercises without much warming up.

The only thing that surprises me is how long this condition is taking to recover. GP was saying it could take up to 1 year to fully recover. I didn't take any injection. Just some foot stretches and ice packs but even that forgot to do it quite often.

Actually I don't have problem controlling if taking rice but for noodle, a bit hard to control as by the time I realize I could have taken too much in portion

If u got medical card, do a mri scan, then confirm got inflammation, confirm the location, then suntik 1 steroid needle in, within 3 4 days can see effect..

I did mine la.. haha

Mri 2.5k
Suntik steroid 1k
If day care cost, add 1k la..
