Hi I agree with the other answers but would add. I was diagnosed with Type 2 thanks to a bout of thrush that refused to go away after taking various tablets and creams. I got my sugars under control and thrush did clear up Forward 7 years diet controlled only (but badly) and I am menopausal...

I have decided to take to “bull by the horns” so to say and get my BS levels under control. Had a reading of 23 and feel quite hot all the time but not in a good way. So from 1st September trying really hard. It’s not easy, go shopping with son. He buys custard tarts and doughnuts then...

Thought I would chip (mmmm chips) in. I go to the veg section and pick up a pre made salad bowl. (you need to take a fork with you from home). Then off to the meat section you can but I avoid the processed ham and go for chicken or prawns. Then just put the two items together. If you want...

I can’t seem to get to the blog community now it’s been updated?

Yes you self diagnose the try a med to resolve the problem instead of getting “it’s your diabetes here take Metaformin and by the way here’s the statins as well”. The meds your try don’t work completely so instead of taking more you call the doctors to make sure you have what doctor Google says...

Feeling hot, but not in a good way. Does anyone decide to add carb to a meal when normally you eat a low carb diet and get a feeling of complete burning heat inside after the meal? If I go over the top with carb I have my own personal heatwave. The heat lasts from minutes to hours.

I had my regular annual blood tests and blood pressure in December 2017 by the so called diabetic nurse. I was suffering dry itchy ears at the time and asked if it could be a ear infection before taking my blood pressure. Another nurse was called and she looked in my ears telling me it was a...

I must point out before you read this post. My levels under control (DN very pleased) weight average, blood pressure fine and no other symptoms side effects. My mental state however, stressed (parent bereavement) and Husband showing signs of alcohol and diabetc problems, kidney, fatty liver...

Thanks guys it was a down sort of stuff it moment and the hugs are lovely. If you see my other threads my husband is just diagnosed and I'm trying to set a good example but with the cold (feeling much better today) my husband was giving me the so the veg doesn't help look. He's trying but...

I had a cold this week! getting fresh veg etc and no taste the carbs have gone up. Feeling sorry for myself now after giving in to a Macdonalds complete with chips (something that I loved pre diagnosis) brought home by my son. Now feeling guilty with a result of 14.5! Not sure if I need...

I'm fairly newly diagnosed and have had a couple of eye scans. I think that I would freak if anything was found so be thankful whatever was found has gone and concentrate on getting the sugar levels better before something else occurs.

I have filled it in but as a suggestion maybe ask how long since diagnosis. And agree with bluetit regarding medication I'm diet controlled only. Hope your studies go well

Going to try the reheat carb approach on him as that would not make his foods too different. Doctors called today to say they want him to have another blood test for cholesterol as the first one went wrong. so what joy.

OK tried the getting smaller meals (when I say small they are recommended portion size). And he just helps himself to the kids crisp cupboard. However I am now writing what type of food the whole family are eating on a magnetic planner on the fridge and I am glad to say he is thinking more...

In three months he lost 2 lbs so near to nothing but apart from the coke and red bull that was the only change. No exercise whatsoever.

Umm stab or ex lax! It's just he has the attitude that it's just quacks and if it's meant it's meant to be and he doesn't want to have any restrictions or monitoring. A Sort of head in sand (now that would solve the eating!). I love him and on a selfish side I don't want him to die or have...

Just over a year ago I was diagnosed diabetic type 2 with hba1c 86 result. I changed my food drastically to very low carbs shed 3 stone in 3 months and had a Hba1c of 49. My current result is 47. When I say drastically I cut out takeaways completely, I used to have chips either everything...

Pinkorchid I am now thinking the same about red meat, sausages, bacon and dairy. I have decided to up vegetables, limit my favourite breakfast of grilled sausages, bacon and eggs (this can be everyday) and my other love cheese. I already regularly eat nuts, avocados, humous and recently...
