Hi I'm using OneTouch Verio IQ with the relevant testing strips but I've been having several 'strip read failures' recently. It can be as high as 1 in 10 in a box of 100 or as low as 1 in 25 but I would say that even 4% failure rate is too high. This is only a recent problem (over the course of...

Feeling p'd off at the moment so apologies in advance. I've had Crohn's disease for nearly 20 years now and thought I'd got used to the regular flare-ups but this one has really got me knocked for six. It doesn't help that I have Lymes disease as well and my BSs are all over the place. I can...

Hi all, I'm going away for 17 days next week and I've just had a sudden panic - what do I do with my sharps box? No problem for the journey there, I can keep used bits in my travel pouch and take an empty box with me, but what about coming back. Do pharmacies just take them in for disposal like...

Yes, I know, not a very pleasant subject but I have to have a CT scan next week as I suffer from Crohn's disease as well as being T1. I've just collected the prescribed medication to clear the bowel - Citrafleet - and, reading up it states that it can affect the BG levels quite dramatically...

Last week a tooth cracked in half and, within 24 hours, the side of my mouth looked like I was trying to eat a tennis ball. My GP gave me anti-biotics (he's not one of those that insist you go to a dentist for everything) whilst I waited for an appointment with a dentist. I then went on a long...

The Daily Mail recently published an article about reducing calories and carbs by cooking potatoes, pasta, rice etc the day before, refridgerating and then reheating the next day (or eating cold). It stated that you could reduce up to 1/2 the carb intake as the starches are turned to...

Great I thought, an app for android that has the recipe book available at any time. Problem 1 was opening the app. The initial screen appears to say that you need to register but, as I'm already registered I just wanted to log in. Redesign needed. Having logged in I got into the recipe book and...

No wonder I have problems cooking low-carb meals using ready produced materials -a jar of pasta sauce contains 6 cubes of sugar ! See for a press article. Now I love cooking, nearly as much as I love eating and have found that the only way to accurately cook a low-carb meal is to use fresh...

Has anyone got the forum app working? I've installed it (Android) but cannot get it to work. How do you log in? There is NO login button! Aargh!!!

Here is the recipe I have been asked to post. As it is wholegrain (and slow release) I can have 2 large slices of this without it affecting my BS which cannot be said for processed, shop bought, bread. Ingredients For the levain 300g strong white bread flour 7g fast acting yeast (1 sachet)...
