They don't really taste of anything. You can heat them in the microwave, but it doesn't get rid of the excess water in them and I found it a bit off-putting. Dry fried they are fine. They need a good, tasty sauce with them.

Charles Dickens Sara Paretsky Raymond Feist Rose Macauley Alan Garner **** Francis Stephen Donaldson I spend a lot of time reading. Mainly with a Kindle nowadays due to sore and stiff hands.

have you tried relationship counselling? Relate are very good. Good luck

Sorry I can't help, but I hope you're feeling okay now. I certainly sounds nasty.

Definitely go and see your doctor. If you need codeine he'll prescribe it - both my husband and myself have been on co-codamol 30/500 at 8 a day for years and are probably addicted to it - if he can prescribe something else he will and wean you off the codeine. I am on duloxetine and...

I use milled flaxseed instead of porridge oats as I find that oats put my blood sugar up. :)

I low carb and at my last check my cholesterol was quite high. I think this was more likely to be due to the excess of carbs I'd had for the week previous due to my niece's wedding (her husband is a baker). I'd allowed myself the carbs as the time before I had ketones in my urine and the nurse...

I wonder, when I first started on Morphine I could feel it affecting me. Nowadays it just makes me itchy. I went for a driving assessment while on morphine and passed okay, but would I have done if I'd taken my first/tenth dose of a strong painkiller? How can they sort this one out - glad I...

my doctor told me that I will always be considered to be a diabetic. Though my numbers are good, I'll always have to work at keeping them down. I know myself that I am a real diabetic because if I eat anything high carbohydrate my glucose reading goes above the non-diabetic range.

I have also written to the mp. I linked this site and the Blood Sugar 101 site to him and said that giving all type 2s a meter and test strips and teaching them to eat to their meter would be much more cost effective than the guidelines given nowadays. I also said that educating gps and nurses...

My dad was told that he should always wear white socks so that if he stood on anything it would show up - the blood I suppose. My feet are so, so skinny (I've lost over a full shoe size in the weight loss - who wants to lose weight on their feet :lol: )and I got a bedsore on my ankle one night...

I think so :)

I watched a video about it - it seems to be mainly green coffee extract. It seemed a bit 'Snake Oil' ish to me.

It's the first time I've taken lucozade, so I didn't know what I was doing. As it made me feel unwell all night and gave me terrible heartburn I won't be having it again either. My mother is trying to get rid of it since my dad died in May. It was watching him go downhill through ignoring his...

I've been overweight all my life (well since I was 6) yet I was always on the go. We were a poor family and lived on cheap carbs etc., While at school I swam, ran, played hockey threw the discus and shot put yet my weight was the equal to my age. Nowadays I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and...

Thanks Viv, This is my most extreme reaction. I used to have mild hypos regularly, but since I've gone low carb I've not had any. My bg can drop to 3 or so without symptoms. I just wondered if it could be that I and others become more sensitive from not eating carbs. The toast was thick...

I normally eat fairly low carb - less than 60 grams most days. As well as being a type 2 I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and chronic fatigue. Yesterday I went out to lunch at Slattery's in Bury. It is a wedding cake maker place and is known to be chocolate heaven. I ate loads more carbs than...

I had what was first thought to be an ulcer on my ankle. I had it dressed each week and had to keep it dry etc. I started taking Iodine as a supplement when it had been going on for several months and that helped it to heal. Once I was allowed near it again - without the dressing - I used...

My ex-mother-in-law used to make up Smash when her hubby & family were working on Saturday mornings and then borrow potato peelings from next door to put in the bin. Her hubby never twigged - but always said he hated Smash and would never allow them in the house. :lol:

to make your own healthier spreadable butter, mix block butter with buttermilk. There is some carbohydrate in buttermilk but you need very little of it - and you know what it is mixed with.
