Thanks for all your replies, I really appreciate the time you have taken to answer my queries. Gastric bypass isn't an easy way out. I have never been well since having it. I learnt early that i couldn't tolerate rice or pasta and mashed potato. To eat them made me ill straight away. I have...

I test as soon as i feel unwell. Feeling unwell doesn't really describe how i feel, i actually feel b****y awful. My heart races, I feel an increased pressure in my head, I feel like i have weights tying my legs down with each step and I sound drunk. Confusion is also a problem, not being...

i have vitamin supplements everyday but cannot have iron because of my blood cancer

I posted on Saturday that I had had blood tests taken last Friday because I was becoming so unwell after taking any form of sugar or carbs. My husband suffers with hypoglycemia so I decided to test my blood with his kit before and after eating. I decided to do this because, after eating a...

That's the one, thanks so much x

Every breakfast cereal I have looked at has loads of sugar. I thought Special K must surely be okay but it actually has more sugar than normal cornflakes.

So nice to read your responses. I do have loss of sensation in my feet but this is also a symptom of my cancer so it's 50/50 what illness is responsible. I do take diabetes very seriously because of how it has affected my family. My sister on the other hand, is borderline type 1 and rams carbs...

Could people tell me what the use as a bread substitute? Or what they have for breakfast? I cannot tolerate porridge for some reason so have been having toast every morning because, annoyingly, you cannot find a breakfast cereal that's not packed with sugar.

Hi everyone, my name is Jill and I live in the beautiful north east of England. Diabetes runs in my family. My grandmother lost both her legs to it, as did my aunty. My father had type 2 and my sister has type 2 (borderline type 1). I have a very complicated medical history including breast...
