Threads in General Chat are a bit different as they don't show up in 'latest Posts' or 'What's New'. This is because Gen Chat is designed for off topic stuff, and there are some very active threads in this section of the forum. However, they are mostly not about diabetes, so if all posts would...

Except there is no need for a "What Have You Eaten Today thread (Minimal or No chat)", no-one has asked for minimal to no chat, just for a bit of reduction from the very long off topic stuff. Don't overthink this reminder of the mods on the main thread, post your food, add some bits around it...

For me, it was very much a non event (assuming that my honeymoon period is over). After diagnosis and starting insulin over 7 years ago, my insulin needs slowly kept increasing for about 4 years until settling down.

Same here, depending on how many carbs I eat. But there is lots of room between no carb and low carb meals. I usually eat lots of veggies with my protein and fats, and have no trouble dosing for them. I also eat low carb bread and worked out how to dose for it. I only have high carb meals very...

No matter how many carbs you choose to eat, the main thing is matching your insulin doses to your food.

Speaking as both a former moderator for 4 years on this forum, and as one of the main culprits at derailing the main thread, it definitely is a fine line to balance on for the mod team. I know from experience they are doing all they can to keep that thread attractive too all, using a very soft...

Canesten and the likes are anti fungal. I wouldn't dabble with tea tree stuff with an actual fungal infection.

My hospital has the option to send a message to your specialist, so I did with this diabetic riddle. I made it very clear it's in no way urgent and to only look into it if she had some spare time on her hands, but that I thought she might find it interesting. I gave her the short version and a...

If it's not fungal but simply because it's sweaty and doesn't get aired, what about trying zinc cream like you would for diaper rash? I sometimes get sore spots in non aired places in summer, and zinc cream works wonders.

Not an answer to your question, but please don't blame yourself. You did not choose to have an eating disorder.

Dang, it was a very interesting and relevant study, should have bookmarked it.

Uhm, I'm one of those lazy diabetics mainly winging it, not calculating. Low carbing makes this much easier. The only time in 7 years I've properly calculated carbs (apart from reading on my pack of LC bread it has 3.8 grams per slice) was when I made some keto nuts and chocolate things to send...

How much testing have you done to work out the exact action times for both types of gliclazide on your body? I have very little experience with gliclazide but I do have with using an unusual combination of insulins to get the most out of the traits of both, Whatever you do, be careful...

Amazing progress, well done! Steroid induced diabetes is a thing, and it's not the same as T2.
