I'm doing good old fashioned pen on paper 'app'..one book has written down all 'vital info' for each item I use/buy regularly and on other I tot up things as I eat them. Many times I only have to copy my numbers from previous days..so easy and I just might use few...

    Oh fun!:rolleyes: My hubby had lucky escape...he had 1 day with dodgy tummy, suggesting something drastic may happen... and then it was over...we did have constant whiff of bleach going on in the house while I was doing my 'runs'...:rolleyes: Maybe all that bleach did the trick?

    Unfortunate tummy problems and fasting..

    Well...96 hours is good result..considering you having 'runs' as well...well done! My tummy did eventually settle, though I did have to get some 'runny bum pills'...other wise it would have gone on and on. Thing is that I wasn't feeling sick...I had full appetite and I just couldn't keep off...

    Trying to understand C-peptide test results...??

    No units...just those two figures quoted in the letter...and it is patient's copy of letter for the GP!? That's what I couldn't figure out neither as all the sites I've been looking for are referring to 'units'. Maybe there is no more to it other than "suggestion a reasonable c-peptide...

    Carbs v Sugar - Confused

    Yep....ignore the 'which sugars' info. ALL carbs will be converted with our bodies..so it is the total carbs that really matter when it comes to our blood sugar levels and how many carbs you do consume to cause those blood sugar levels go out of ideal level. My comfort level is under 50g per...

    More help please! Ketones and Low carb

    5kg in 5 days sounds A LOT to me...maybe even too much! Are you drinking enough? If you have diarrhea, then you will need more liquids and salts to balance any dehydration as well. Try having a hot drink made with stock cube..any flavour..that will give you some essential salts and dehydrate...

    Fluoride tablets and endocrine problems

    Hmm....it is not all about our drinking water, though in some areas ground water do have more than recommended levels...we get fluoride from so many other sources as well..in fact it is in almost every dental cleaning product and rinses. We get it from our food and drinks. Though what comes from...

    Fluoride tablets and endocrine problems

    I've just spent moment with 'Dr Google' and looking into water and fluoride info..particularly in Finland. Interestingly...fluoride is only been added in certain areas in the country (not where I was brought up) as else where there are/were high enough natural fluoride levels...some places even...

    Fluoride tablets and endocrine problems

    I grew up in Finland and in 60's and 70's they didn't add fluoride into drinking water (well, I think they didn't...)but it was standard advise to give kids fluoride tablets to chew...(I assume it is same 'fluoride stuff' what ever form it comes from). Not only that, we used to have once a year...

    Intermittent fasting: 14/10-16/8, 5:2, 24-hr fast, 20-hr fast

    It is not easy to do without 'training' you body to it...and longer term fasting is not easy even then. But even short term fasting has really good benefits for insulin sensitivity reducing resistance as well! If you are curious to try..give yourself a week or two as 'trial period' and see what...

    Intermittent fasting: 14/10-16/8, 5:2, 24-hr fast, 20-hr fast

    I did it by stopping taking tablets (can't take them into empty tummy anyway) and reducing the total amount of injectables AND by splitting the dozes so that I would have more control over when the blood sugars started to drop down. Once on downward mode, I stopped taking meds altogether...or...

    Eggs confusion

    Ok...that info you have read about eggs is old information...and totally not true! Eggs are perfectly healthy food to have ANY time of the day, particularly as replacement for 'carbs' and it doesn't matter if one is diabetic or not. One time we were given scare stories about eggs having so much...
