    2 days in and it's very confusing!

    Managing other people is the worst, and going out to lunch is not an.option for me now. Everything is bread related, baked potatoes or expensive and nasty bagged salad with some cheap chicken. I just meet people for coffee in the mornings. It saves me having to explain yet again...... which is...

    Eating out at cafe/coffee shop/garden centres

    Your post is very welcome, I have been frustrated for so long about the food on offer at Garden Centres and everywhere else. Naturally they provide food for the vast majority of people who visit and unfortunately that doesn't include diabetics, although Vegan and Gluten free options are very...

    Question about metformin timings

    As happens quite often, today I got home about 4.40pm. I had a cup of decaff coffee this morning, went out at 11am but had no breakfast or lunch. I was not hungry and was just doing other stuff. When I got in I had 1 slice of wholemeal bread and cheese. I will have my evening meal about 7.30pm...

    Metformin side effects

    Same here, although I do like all veggies. Can't do low carb for long as it is so limiting, and I don't really feel it's healthy to exclude so many things.

    Metformin

    As I am now only eating once a day, should I take both the prescribed dosages of 2 x 500mg twice a day with food, or just stick to the single dose as I have been doing. Taking one dose only at present but i see online there can be higher dosages once a day. Any ideas?

    Type 2 no testing machine or anything!

    No annual test for me here in Norfolk. An online chat was promised after they cancelled appointment after appointment with no explanations given. Did that telephone chat occur? No! Due to Covid I expect, but I am fed up waiting for someone to give me a few minutes of their time. With reluctance...

    Type 1 Shielding for diabetics

    Strangely I don't mind this lockdown, I am being careful when going out with the dog, shopping etc and can fill my days easily. Still not enough hours in the day for me. I find a lot of my friends are now itching to get out and about and I think I might have a problem convincing them I am quite...

    Why no weight loss?

    Same here - it doesn't matter what I do it just doesn't work for me, depressing. I am so jealous when people report the weight falling off them. I can offer no help just sympathy.

    Yoghurt

    Also genuine Greek youghurt is more eco friendly than the stuff made here. Another reason to buy it.

    Type 1 People don’t think about how food affects us

    I don't explain anything unless it's really important to do so. It's my business only and I detest sharing stuff that. I am a bit fed up with going out for any meals these days as there seems to be little lchf that I am able to eat without sitting with a nearly bare plate and am running out of...

    Info please

    I'm not sure what to expect from the NHS. I have T2 and high blood pressure of between 180 and 200 over 80. Last Wednesday following an ECG on 12/12 I was booked in to have a blood test which was cancelled by a phone call on that morning and told that I don't need one until my annual diabetes...

    Counterweight diet thoughts

    ....shakes and soups for three months and then slowly having food again - That sounds good to me I am much better able to deal with that than messing around with diets, even the LCHF doesn't do anything for my weight. It's not as if it's forever and by returning slowly to food afterwards seems...

    New mum trying to process new result but confused and upset

    Hi, don't feel bad or blame yourself but have a good old cry and try to get it out of your system as holding it all in isn't helpful. Because you are now aware of healthy eating and how important it is, your baby will benefit as well in the long run. Try to think of this as an opportunity, it...

    Heart versus diabetes

    Sorry, I have just been here thinking and wondering. I have not yet got my monitor so no more readings. My EHIC card seems to have got lost. I have not done a huge amount of walking here yet due to the fact it's so wet but I am losing some weight steadily, not by VLC methods but I have done LCHF...
