I had been prediabetic for years until Sep 2025. I had a fall on holiday after a lunch of raisin toast. I broke my wrist and 2 bone in my right arm and registered 14.5 blood sugar. Straight on to Metformin 1000 once per day and finger prick blood sugar testing. Low carb food. I am T2, 58kg...

You have my sympathy, life can be hard sometimes. Could you give yourself something to look forward to - your wife might have a definite health outcome by late March and you could maybe have a longer holiday somewhere mild and dry. AI tells me that South Western England and specifically the...

I find it ironic that it is being introduced by Robert Kennedy Junior. Watch for the repositioning of food packaging to now be real food real good…..

My mother in law had some beautiful silver trays she couldn’t give to anyone in the family, same with crystal. One generation’s treasure is another one’s boring. Keep youngsters aware of family heirlooms.

The new guide lines at real food.gov have a new emphasis on protein and vegetables. I wondered how Americans would cut back on potatoes, hot dogs and hamburgers but my husband tells me that this is the way all school lunches and food for the army, navy, etc will be done from now on. Very...

Also remember that sometimes your thinking can be your own worst enemy. If you think it, that doesn’t make it true. Tell yourself that you will worry when you get a Diagnosis and it’s not ok to eat rubbish food just because you have worked yourself into a state. My sister says her peripheral...
