I've just had my first diabetic clinic appointment in over 3 years (yes covid etc, now it's closed again for boosters). In that time my sugars are up and I need to deal with that. This post is about cholesterol. I'm in Northern Ireland and we don't even have the NHS - it's health and social...

This has probably been asked somewhere else but I can't find it. I'm on low carb diet now for 3 weeks. Can I drink vegetable juice? The only fruit I can manage are blueberries and raspberries and fruit juices are too sweet. Hubby just joined me on this diet one week ago. He isn't diabetic -...
