I have been diabetic for many years and thought I had it under control. I have had lower back and shoulder pain for a few years and have mentioned it to the GP. Having kept a diary I have realised that the pain at night seems to be on the odd occasion I have eaten too much wheat or sugar. Going...

Thank you! You’re right I am trying to change too much at once. I’ll concentrate on the milk issue for a while longer

Thanks! I have started using almond milk in my tea. I had the same meal as last night without the broccoli and my stomach is fine. My husband used to roll his eyes at low carb but has got used to it. Now I can’t eat the veg either...he’s not impressed!

I have always had stomach pains and bloating in the past 10 years. Yoghurt has been a problem so I eat it infrequently. I have recently looked more closely at which foods cause bloating and have pinpointed milk, cheese (although surprisingly Brie seems to be ok), cauliflower, broccoli and...

He has taken them on and off but these results are without statins. It is quite hard to get all the facts as I don't live nearby and he has the start of dementia.

Thanks. That's what I thought too but the GP has told him to take statins and reduce his level by 40%. He is of an age where the gp knows best . I said I wouldn't take statins with those results but it's whether he will listen to me or not...

As this is not about me and not related to diabetes I hope no one minds me posting this but I know this group is very knowledgable...my dad is on statins and I asked him to get a copy of his latest blood test. The results are Serum cholesterol 5.7 Serum triglycerides 1.2 HDL 1.63 Non HDL 4.1...

Thanks! I have found my cholesterol results from June and am comparing all the elements.

Trigs not tries!

Bluetit how do you calculate the ratio of tries and HDL? Thanks !

The lidl rolls are very filling and I can only eat half at a time. I buy a few and freeze them as I have found they go mouldy fairly quickly Bluetit the GP will probably tell me to wait 2/3 months before I get my cholesterol retested. I was supposed to see the GP to discuss the results but...

Thanks for your reply bluetit. I am going to cut down on my dairy, especially cheese as I probably eat more than I should, and increase my omega 3 intake. I eat quite a few things on the list you gave and I do eat the lidl roll but could increase the fish and seeds. I also read that low...

Bluetit1802 here are my cholesterol levels: cholesterol level. 7.4 Triglycerides. 1.50 HDL. 1.6 Cholesterol/HDL ratio. 4.6 LDL. 5.1 Lipoprotein 5.8

It was the LDL. I will post the breakdown later this afternoon when I get back from work

Firstly I must apologise for only posting and participating in the forum every 3/4 months. Having got my Hba1c to non prediabetic levels I watch what I eat and tend to forget about the forum. Secondly I posted a few months back about my mid morning snack and what I could do about not eating...
