Hello Mandy12 :) So sorry to hear about your diagnosis and all the other issues you have. I know what it feels like as I too suffer from a myriad of things including CFS/ME and diabetes. I also have spinal issues which make excercise difficult but I can manage Pilates as it is very gentle and...

Hello again Fishing I am horrified :shock: at the way in which your thread was hijacked and got so nasty and would say that it has not been like this until just recently. Hopefully things will soon get back to normal so do remain with us, your numbers are good and, as has been said, stick...

Hi Balloo :) I think you will find it is indeed those wretched carbs but you will have to test before and after eating to work out how they affect you. Unfortunately there is no magic formula for the number of carbs to qualify as low carb. We are all different so we all handle them differently...

Hi Mouse and welcome! :D Your numbers aren't too bad really especially with that Hba1c which is good. The reason it differs from your after meal numbers is that it is only an average over the previous 2-3 months. The test you do yourself after eating will help you to understand what your food...

Hi nippysweets and welcome! :D Hope the meteorology department clears soon! :shock:

Hello Ricey and welcome! :D

I, too, have been away for a while because of ill health and subsequently on holiday and returned to the forum in the last few days. It was immediately obvious that things were ‘not right’, there seemed to me to be upset, confrontation and unpleasantness. This is not what I have been used to on...

Hi H :) Without knowledge of you and your condition it would be unwise and impossible to attempt to give advice. I would say that, as with all things, you do your research, ensure that you are medically checked out for doing what you propose and then if you have the green light you start...

Re: Goodbye, one deleted post to many

Hello Fishy and welcome! :)

Hello and welcome Anna :) Carb counting is quite difficult and with all the other calculations it can all make your head spin can’t it?! There is always someone around to help so do ask for help when you need to. I expect you are better than a B+ and it is probably an occupational...

Hello and welcome Maxine :) When we realise that we actually own our diabetes and it is mostly down to us where this new path will take us then motivation is not really such an issue. You need to decide for yourself how much you are going to let your condition dictate to you or whether you are...

You could do better than that - sack the chef!! :lol:

Sounds as individual as the last set of tick boxes to me, heaven help us, and I doubt that even the thought of a prescription for test strips would be allowed anywhere near! :roll:

Hi Twilight and welcome. :) Sorry I can't help as I don't know about T1 but hopefully another T1 will be along soon to offer some advice. You seem to be having a tough time so it might be an idea to tell us a bit more so that it will be easier to understand the problems you are having, things...

Hi Mrs W and welcome. :) It would help us to help you if you could tell us what your normal diet is.

I have not heard of this before and am sorry to hear you are having such problems. I hope someone who is able to offer some advice will be along soon.

Oh dear, poor you, you must have been feeling awful. Hope they get it sorted out for you and you start to feel much better. We are indeed “fearfully and wonderfully made” so it is no wonder that when things go wrong it takes a lot of detective work to work it all out. So glad to hear that fears...

I know nothing of T1 really but, reading what Jopar says, perhaps that is the difference between T1 and T2 that a T1 can cover it with insulin and a T2 on tablets or diet and exercise cannot. I have a friend, who is T2 of long standing, who is very overweight and eats "just a little" of...
