Did you forget a link? I love easy recipes...

Hi @David Perry , welcome to the forum :) Have a read round, lots of great info and members willing to share their experiences, ask any questions you may have and feel free to share. We have lots of members who manage their diabetes with diet only. Just a quick question: In your info it says...

I use the old if there's still more than a couple of units in it and top up with the new pen. The general advice to not do this is for safety. Those pens are used by all different kinds of people, including those who are likely to make a calculating mistake when having to subtract the first...

I've read about adding chocolate to meals but never seriously considered it. Is it worth it? I'd also love eating chilli flavoured chocolate all by itself but I don't think I can buy it here. I used to make a chocolate, nuts/seeds and nut butter treat but I'd forgotten about it. I added lots of...

I haven't been very good at writing lately, but please trust I've been reading and enjoying all your posts!

You may be onto something with your phobia here. Do you know what caused you to have less issues with those injections now than you did at the beginning? It proves that your fear can change for the better in particular situations. Can you look for something similar with other injections?

That sucks, but you still made me spit out my drink at the thought of you thinking dark and evil thoughts in preparation for the Christmas play! :hilarious:

Most of us do not look at the GI but at the carbs. All carbs turn to glucose, some a bit faster, some a bit slower, but they all do raise glucose levels for those of us with diabetes. With the cheesy popcorn, I'd likely have a couple for the novelty, and a small handful are very little carbs...

Sounds tasty! Do you have a particular reason why you always eat very high carb meals? Those foods are not very good with type 2 diabetes.

True. But I'd like to add that it can also be caused by a plethora of other things, including completely innocent ones.

You never know until you've tried. Besides, bamboo is a grass. Almost all regular flours are made of seeds from grasses.
