Hi, I've been a type 2 diabetic since 2008, tablet controlled. My last Hba1c came back at 6.6, for the last 3 years it's been around 8.8 - 9.2 so that's come down a lot. The problem I have is recurrent thrush and sore/ cracked foreskin even though I bathe 3 times a week and wash my 'old chap'...

Checked my BG 2 hours after having my tea, a bowl of chicken stew, and it was 6 so it looks like I'm heading in the right direction :)

AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Really really struggling with this, I'm sick of feeling hungry and tired. Doing my box in

I understand I cannot go totally carb free but just want alternatives so I don't feel hungry all the time, which is a big problem as I have been brought up to enjoy my food although I have changed my eating habits quite a lot since being diagnosed

I work from 6:45am till 10:00am then 1:45pm till 5pm, I rarely buy a sandwich and we usually do our shopping at Morrisons

Hi guys I normally have a sandwich for my dinner but my BG's are rubbish, I have substituted my bran flakes in the morning with yoghurt and berries, changed my tea-time meals to ones with no potato, pasta or rice but now I'm struggling with what to eat at dinner time (12pm) Has anyone any...

Cheers Clive but was thinking something simpler for my dinner, meaning 12pm

morning guys, I have taken the 1st steps to a new me. Had some yoghurt and berries for my breakfast, just snacking on an apple as I'm writing this so small steps but in the right direction I hope. The one thing I can't get my head around is what to have for my dinner if I don't have a sandwich...

My biggest problem with meals is I'm a minibus driver who takes special needs and disabled kids to school so I'm out from 6:45am till 10:00am and then back out from 1:45pm till 5pm. So I tend to just grab something as a snack before I go to work as I don't have time to have something like bacon...

Well I already take 2500mg of Metformin, 240mg of Gliclazide plus 20mcg of Lixisenatide. The thing with food is no-one has ever sat me down and said, "Right, what foods do you like so we can see what you are eating wrong or what we can change?". All my info has been from the internet and still...

My last HbA1c was 8.3 and to be honest the problem has got worse since I started taking the lixisenatide injections. I'll get the wife to make me an appointment on Monday

Hi guys, been a type 2 diabetic for 7 years and I take metformin, gliclazide and also use lixisenatide non-insulin injection. I have had "gentlemen's problems" on and off namely a sore and cracked foreskin due to thrush. I'm using the canestan cream from the doctor but it doesn't seem to work...

Hi all, been on the LCHF for nearly 2 weeks now and finding it hard to stick to as I'm unemployed and it's the price of food to eat we're having problems with. Still experimenting at the moment with what foods send my sugar up but I am trying. Still no proper advice from the doctors, when you...

I tend to find I enjoy sex more in a morning as my erections are stronger

Thanks, I'll show it to the chef (my missus) :)
