Hi @Mdub, I'm just wondering how you are doing now with the gout and T2? I'm at the beginning of th journey, having just started last week on allopurinol and being pre-diabetic.

Thanks @Outlier I've downloaded the free sample of Too Many Pills to get started with.

Thanks @Oldvatr I've downloaded the free sample to get started and found the website so I look forward to having a browse tomorrow.

Thanks @Mrs HJG I've downloaded the free sample to have a look on the kindle. I rarely use instagram any more however I will take a look at her profile the next time I'm there.

It's a misnomer that haemochromatosis is known as the Irish disease as it's also very common in Italy and Scandinaiva so it's a good idea to get screened for it as it can cause quite serious health complications if not looked after.

Thank you @Rachox the info is much appreciated. I'll check out what's available locally and it's great to have a comparison.

Thanks for starting the conversation @LittleGreyCat and I really hope that your discomfort eases soon. My Uric Acid results were 0.52 mmol/L as of two weeks ago. Gout is part of my story too, I had a gout flare up in the ball of my right foot about three weeks after having a sweet bitter lemon...

Thank for for suggesting this, I was wondering about using such a meter at home and I was wondering whether to wait and see the DN at the end of July however a lot can happen in a month and hopefully will happen - I do hope that my dietary changes will start to make a impact. I'll pop in to see...

Hi everyone, as someone recently told that they have prediabetes I'm hungry for books that relate to diabetes, gout, metabolic syndrome etc. There is a wealth of informatin here in the forum and although I am enjoying slowly working my way through as many threads as possible I would love to see...

Thank you so much for your kind words and also for sharing this part of your story, it does help me greatly. I was a little emotional reading your words so that tells me that I still have a little bit of shame to let go of - it's a work in progress :) Thanks @plantae Funnily enough the gout...

Thank you @SaskiaKC for your kind words :)

Yes, We are lucky enough to have a lovely old Drascombe longboat cruiser, 1972 I think. I know that they are very popular in the Netherlands too with a lot of Dutch members in the Drascombe Association. We didn't mean to buy a boat, we acutally went to the local canal a few years ago to have an...

This has been coming for a while, I suppose I'm not surprised that the US is close to selling this faux-meat to people. I certainly won't be lining up to go a restaurant that serves if I ever happen to the visit the States again. I like the clarity shown by @Oldvatr about the potential...

Hi, thought I'd put pen to paper so to speak. I've been reading through lots of posts over the last few days, particularly in the newly diagnosed thread as that's my situation at the moment. I received a phone call from my local practice last week telling me that I was diabetic, luckily the...
