I was told no fasting by the new nurse practitioner, thought it was odd. Will certainly fast for the next test. She wants to see if the new meds work. But will not be taking the stations yet.

A quick question. A friend bought 'sour' red cherries and said they were better for T2 diabetics than normal cherries. I think she is totally wrong. Your views

@Rachox, @Antje77 Thanks both for your help. The code works and I've ordered 10 packs, they should keep me going for a while. @berylc

Thanks @Goonergal I found lots of info on the Diet Doctor site, via a link here. Has given me the push in the right direction.

I was following low carb diet for a good while with very good results, Then I changed jobs and my husband took over the cooking, so I was gradually back to eating carbs again, But now I've retired I have decided to take back control again and follow a low carb diet. I was wondering if paying...

I was put on normal metformin with bad bowel results, was eventually put onto SR metformin for 2 yrs. I missed many days of work due to the medication, the worst was on holiday in Paris, which was ruined. The Dr referred me to a dietician who told me I wasn't keeping a true record of my eating...

I received a letter from my GP practice to inform me that I will only get tested annually on my birthday. My birthday is in December, so it means I will have to wait 18 months since my last test in June 2020. Do you think that is far too big a gap? I certainly do.

When I was told by my employer to self isolate at the start of lockdown my son told me "but you are only a bit diabetic"…......... :banghead:

I've just come out of hospital after a visit to a&e at midnight on Tuesday. I'm supposed to follow a high fibre diet, following the LCHF diet just now. No advice about food other than high fibre and my body will tell me what is bad for me.... Well it only told me when I was admitted with acute...

I blame the person who left the toilet seat up....... We have a slow closing lid, so only a small tap puts it down!

Rights (bill of rights)

I was hanging up some washing in the bathroom, stepped back off the small stool and my phone in my back pocket fell down the toilet I quickly pulled it out and dried it, but no sign of life, was at first, but then kept on turning itself on and off. Put it in a bowl of rice, now sitting...
