    Whats the most annoying thing people say about diabetes?

    When people say carbs are good for you. They aren't good for anyone, in my opinion.

    Eat to Meter?

    Try cutting out foods that are generally accepted as likely to cause high readings then, ie bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and the obvious sweets/crisps/junk/sugar. At least then you can try to limit higher BGs, even if you can't see what they are.

    NOVEMBER 2012 - MORNING READINGS - LOW CARBERS

    I had a bad day on Saturday again, two gypsy tarts, crisps, two slices of gluten free bread, a couple of chips, and maybe other stuff I've forgotten. But yesterday I nipped it in the bud and I had leftover low carb lasagna, then I went running and accidentally did week 2 of the couch to 5k plan...

    Stevia

    At one time I was having six sweeteners a time. I was gradually bringing that sown before all this diabetes stuff anyway lol. I was down to two, but am on none at the moment.

    Stevia

    What are the tablets made up of then? I've even had to give up sweeteners (along with everything else) due to headaches and digestive issues, and I think I noticed better weight loss since too. I'm not happy about this as I was partial to a few sweeteners in my green tea, but I suppose it's...

    Diabetes and alcohol

    Wow I'm glad I gave up drinking a few yrs ago now. I think I liked a drink a bit too much than was good for me too, and if drinking affects having diabetes, then if I didn't give up when I did, I reckon I'd have full diabetes by now. Same as with the low carbing. I truly believe that if I hadn't...

    Thank you Simon :) Unfortunately it's all being dragged out, the funeral isn't until the 22nd, and he's been off at a hospital in London for the last three weeks, so we're all just kind of in limbo if that makes sense. Most of the organising is done now, we're just waiting for the day now.

    Thank you grace, that's very kind of you :) My sisters baby was stillborn at 24 weeks. It's even worse as my cousin's baby only passed away in may from sudden infant death syndrome, he was only six months. And this is the 3rd baby my sister has lost. I was feeling ok but the last day or so I've...

    Apparently they do but I've just been less hungry lately. We have had a bereavement in the immediate family and I've been organising a lot of stuff for the funeral so maybe I'm just slightly off my food at the mo. Don't worry, I don't have the anorexic gene, I do like my food, but I won't eat a...

    Why have they been banned?

    Did they make personal attacks? I didn't see any.

    Why have they been banned?

    The people that have made those allegations must have proof and a case otherwise they wouldn't have posted publicly about it. What is disturbing is that several members have been banned, and no one knows why. All they did was give an opinion on here. If only one opinion is allowed on here...

    Why have they been banned?

    I think it's ridiculous to do such things without letting people know why.

    Why have they been banned?

    And for how long? Is it because they protested that defren was banned and fought her corner and expeessed an opinion? Shamefull, if so.

    I wasn't hungry. I've got a cold, and I just started taking chromium which seems to make me less hungry. And I drank a ton of water.
