I mostly put together whatever I want to have in my salad, add a glug of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and mix. Sometimes I add other stuff like mayo, mustard, some spices.

Do you use a glucose meter so you can see how you react to it? At 3-4 grams of carbs a portion, plus the carbs from the low carb toast, I'd definitely give it a try is you crave it! If your meter tells you this is too much for breakfast, it may be your body can handle it later in the day. Many...

Hi @alan.trainor , welcome to the forum. Metformin and gliclazide are not really known for causing UTIs. High blood glucose is a very common cause for UTIs, as are medications ending in -flozin. What medication have you been put on now, and does this work better for you?

The Facebook algorithm let's things pop up repeately if you've clicked on it before, watched it, or spend a longer time looking at a post before scrolling on. So you likely more or less trained Facebook to keep showing you those scams.

I know! I had recurring thrush for almost two years before my diabetes diagnosis, and it's horrible! The more glucose is in your system, the more you will pee out. What type of diet do you follow? All carbs turn to glucose in the body, so maybe it would help to reduce the carbs in your diet.

Diabetes burn-out is very common, I second contacting your diabetes team to let them know things are not going well at the moment, and can they maybe help. You can also try to contact your GP to ask about help and reassess your antidepressants to see if something else is needed. You're 43...

I have never used a flozin, but flozins make you pee out sugar, creating the perfect dark, moist, warm, and sweet environment for thrush, especially in the genital area. It's a very common side effect.

I love it with cauliflower cooked al dente, and I've even used sausages to dip in the cheese fondue. Raw bell pepper tastes very good as well.

Hi @shell bull , I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. Would you like to tell us a bit more about yourself? What type of diabetes do you have, what medication or insulin are you on, what do you typically eat? If we know a bit more, maybe we have some ideas on what could help.

Are you on any medication other than insulin?

Ah, a bit confusing with the instructions on how to nominate in the opening post! :hilarious: Half the time I don't even know what day it is, let alone what date.

Crushing pork scratchings (I do it between two baking sheets which I attack with a bottle of booze) to crumb size works amazingly well!

Has anyone outside mods and former mods even noticed this thread? Where is everyone? Has @KennyA made it sound too horrible and are you all hiding now in hopes no one will nominate you? I can assure you it's worth your time, and if nothing happens soon I'll nominate at least 10 members tomorrow!

As a former mod, I can fully confirm this, and I highly recommend giving it a go if you have some time to spare and like working with a team of wonderful people!

Worth noting tht that is a locked thread, so a good source of information but no room for additional questions.
