Thanks. I like the sound of Yam, I will try it.

Well done! It's impossible without a meter..... keep up the good work!

You learn something new every day! It's a veg but normally prepared as a fruit :) .... now I know!

I haven't tried Yam and I don't know what Pokeweed or Rutabaga is! I'd call rhubarb a fruit, as we only ever eat it with sugar or in a pie!

I would ask for a second opinion here, probably by an endocrinologist. Two fasting readings over 7 mmols or random over 11.1 mmols with family history and/or other symptoms can mean a diagnosis.... but I really think you need to ask to see a specialist to get an accurate diagnosis. I'd ask...

Try posting in a Scotland specific group, a few people attend the SG in the Type 1 Diabetes in Scotland group on Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/Type1D HTH :)

I wanted to let everyone know that there will be a limited number of funded scholarship places available for families who would not be able to attend without financial help. Applications must be made before 1st Nov 2012. http://www.diabetesscholars.org/uk-conference.html There are still...
