Please check with your GP as my blood tests are never fasting ones unless cholesterol. I have checked with DNS and she agreed they only need to be fasting if cholesterol.

Celeriac, celeriac, celeriac - anything you can do with a spud more or less including chips. Leafy green vegetables are lower in carbs than root vegetables. Suggest having a look at carb content on frozen veg packs

If you quit eating the 75% carb biscuits, you wouldn't be so fat. I'm shocked by the complacency and one-won't-hurt mentality on this low carb forum. You shouldn't be eating any sugar and very little carbs - no cakes, biscuits, pastry, crisps, instant noodle stuff, pasta, potatoes, parsnips...

Motivation: Anger at having Diabetes although according to an NHS website questionnaire my risk was really low. Great GP who listens to me Personal trainer Toyboy

I used to live in Canada and was used to seeing Medic Alert cards in doctors surgeries and hospitals. I used www.medicalert.org to find the London office. Medic Alert is a registered charity. You choose which type of ID you want and what you want engraved on it. My bracelet was custom made to...

Been having the flu jab since 2007 never had a prob with it. Nor have my OAP parents.
