Have you noticed that the temptation to sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is never more than a whim away. :confused:

I've just logged onto the site for the 1st time in ages and it asked me if I accept cookies. Is this a trick question? :p

I am eating well below 80g carbs per day, sometimes a lot less. I am a little heavy at 15st and 6'1" but nothing earth shattering. Despite this, I cannot get my readings below 8.5 regardless of carb intake or eating patterns/times. No idea why this is. Anyone had similar problems?

Looking at the programme in the link, you get choices of lectures on T1 or T2 throughout much of it. I am looking forward to my day out [emoji4]

From the other side of the fence; "So it's not never to test; it's just that there are very specific circumstances where we know testing can be of value,". http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/type2-diabetes-blood-sugar-overtesting-1.4157581 For the record, I am pro self testing', but I am also pro...

People who drink three to four times a week are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who never drink, Danish researchers suggest. Wine appears to be particularly beneficial, probably as it plays a role in helping to manage blood sugar, the study, published in Diabetologia, says...

Still waiting........

I would have thought just the chickpeas alone would total a **** sight more carbs than the overall total given on that sheet?

As already said, try upping the fat. Nut butters of all types are worth trying out as well as peanut butter. I would also replace that wholemeal with something like Livlife bread from Waitrose. Probably at least 75% less carbs and tastes nice, considering it's meant to be healthy :p I would...

Well done on the latest numbers John.

Not even blueberries or blue cheese?

Just use very cold water. You'll soon be nice and blue :eek:

I had this and the associated pains, like bad pins and needles. A 600g capsule of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) each morning put a stop to my pains within a week of taking them :)

I was a big fan of the Lidl rolls until I discovered Livlife bread at less than 4g carbs per slice. I now reserve the Lidl roll for my Sunday morning treat with lots of bacon and a dollop of brown sauce.
