I have highlighted the heart rate column. You have anxiety the same as me it would seem

Up until recently, I would not have related stress to my BG. Now, you'd have a very hard time convincing me it doesn't have an effect.

I purchased a cholesterol level test from a well known pharmacy in the UK beginning with B ( Other pharmacies are available ), and was so confused how to do the test. I messed it up, so on the second one I got it licked. I scored 5. I was so happy, and I really do put it down to eating whole...

Bev works with me so she drives. Leaves me on a job yo carry on then picks me up sometimes.

Blimey. I live in swansea and haven't had mine back yet

Gotta love a bit of Batfink.

Good for you. I think the fact you are losing weight on insulin is inspiring to us all.

My first visit to the diabetic nurse was quite a good experience. In a nutshell, she looked at my diet prior to diagnosis and suggested alternatives. Nothing to fear, but I would go in with a list of questions, and try and get her email address so you can ask questions after the meeting as they...

I never really get colds. I seem to just get full blown man flu, and often is the case with man flu, the condition is so severe, that a blocked up nose is the least of your worries. I actually find just going outside clears a blocked nose. If I stay in the house, I get congested but if I'm...

I tried the calculator. According to this, I should have been dead last week !

Diabetes in the community works like this in my view. People see you like everyone else. Can you spot a diabetic person on a train?. If you are on crutches it's a fair assumption that you won't be running the hundred metres anytime soon. If you have facial birthmarks, then people look at you...

Social bottom feeders like myself had no clue of what diabetes entailed. Ignorant and arrogant was I. It won't happen to me, " My wings are like a shield of steel " ( quote Batfink ), but it has affected me, there is a chink in my armour, and now I'm not allowed sugar. It's a sweeping statement...

My advice ( for what it's worth ) is to speak to a dietician, but logic dictates not to eat a weeks worth of food in one or two days. I don't think your body will be able to process that massive intake of food and make it last all week, and more to the point, you'll need to stock up on toilet...

Well, the word addiction, yes I grant you, does have some very unpleasant connotations, however, in this instance I really do feel it's appropriate. This forum is very addictive, as is the thirst for knowledge to better our situations. Sex addiction on the other hand. ( get it? ), no, seriously...

YUP. Used a whole strip of Senakot. The trick is to add some fat to your diet. I went low carb low fat and was pooing bricks. Got the urge to poo, but the pan was clean. As soon as I added fat to my diet, normal service resumed. The first visit to the throne room after severe constipation was a...

Roast chicken ( pre cooked breast ), lettuce, cucumber, tomato and babybell cheese.

Yes. I hear muffled sounds, but my hearing is very much secondary to my other senses.

Thank you so very much

Yes buddy

Well, funny you should mention Christmas treats. I was thinking about this on Monday, as Christmas is a very big event in the Lyons household. Turkey ( tick ) Brussel Sprouts ( tick ) Roast potatoes ( nope ) Swede mash ( tick ) Carrots ( tick ) Yorkshire puddings ( maybe a small one ). Yup...
