    Cambridge 121 from my gp

    sounds as though you are doing a good job with it, the only thing i really fear is being hungry, i drink loads of fluid as it is so i'm hoping that will help with any hunger pangs i might get

    Cambridge 121 from my gp

    Its funny how the nurse was telling me that the 121 plan puts you into ketosis due to the low calorie value but i wasnt aware that it was that carb rich, ive been doing low carb on and off (more off recently unfortunately) im going to give it a go and want to try my best on it. I drink well...

    i'm looking forward to it, i can remember the cambridge diet from the 80's, my mum was on it and it was all packet soups etc, i know its going to be a challenge but i need to do it, need to loose about 4 stone

    that's really positive to hear, i know the Exante diet is similar, i'm looking forward to starting it soon. i've got meal replacement shakes that i've never opened so i'm going to break myself in gently and use them so i can get used to it. all the best with your quest as well

    Lo dough brownie mix

    Yeah that's exactly what they are, you will see them mainly in sugar free sweets etc but too much consumption has a laxative effect, if you have ever tried the fruitella sugar free foams you will know what i mean they play havoc with me

    Cambridge 121 from my gp

    Hi guys I had my review recently with the diabetic nurse at my gp, it was a new nurse who had moved from another practice and she was very friendly and informative. The last nurse i saw was trying to encourage me to go to slimming world and i suggested that it wasn't ideal given the fact that...

    Problems down below

    i'd highly recommend getting in touch with your doctor if you are having issues with ED, i am in a similar boat, i thought it was low testosterone, didn't think a 36 year old would suffer from ED. i got bloods take and testosterone levels came back fine, was getting tablets from docs with...

    Low carbs and slimming world

    i\ve done slimming world before and tbh, i don't think its good for T2, i'm T2 and often found my sugars to be all over the place, the fact they say you can eat as much rice, pasta, muller light etc is asking for trouble imo, its a low fat diet but we all know low fat means its pumped full of...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.7 just now, the best thing is I'm due in to the docs this morning to get my bloods taken so I'm fully expecting better results than the last time which was before pre-low carb where I was called back in to increase my meds!

    How Long For An Injury To Heal?

    I had an abcess removed from my back and it took a total of 12 weeks and lots of dressing changes to heal, was horrible and wouldnt wish it on anyone. Nurse said that it would be due to my type 2 that it took longer to heal. That's when I woke up and decided to sort myself out, kick up the...
