Thanks for all your replies. It's very helpful to know what alternatives are out there and the different ways people cope with certain things. Sailorj - Why do you watch out for adding fruits? Surely plenty of fruits are good for you right?? :-s Sanober - Thank you for your suggestions. I am...

Interesting....Has anyone here tried it? Does it work?

Hi, I am Indian and I love my cultural food. I am also Diabetic and want to go on a low carb diet in order to manage my diabetes. I can't keep away from Indian food (not just the curries!) because my mum is constantly cooking for 8 of us and I don't like the idea of everything being changed...

600 Cal diet??? Ok...this is all new to me. What am I suppose to eat within the range of 600 cals? a sandwich a day? Can someone explain where this 600 cal thing came from please? Fazz x

Vaughan, Thank you for your story. It helps to know that things can be changed if actions are taken sooner. When you do your blood tests, do you ever worry before hand what your results may be? I tend to find I predict my results before doing my test and therefore, I end up not doing the test...

Thank you for the information and the encouragement :-) One question...I wanted to try out the DAFNE sessions which I think is about carb counting. However, my doc says I need to improve my BG results quite a bit before I can go on it. I thought the whole point of the DAFNE course was to improve...

Thanks for all the info and comments guys. Much appreciated. I managed to do a fast today because I had a day off work. It was ok until the last few hours before breaking fast, I constantly felt tired and hardly had any energy to get up and do things. My mood seem to be very low and depressed...

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone on here is fasting this Ramadhan (2011)? If so, how are you planning to control it? This year will be very tough, because we will be eating from 9pm till 2.15am and then its fast all day till 9pm in the evening! That's like 18 hours of no food or drink! I...

Hi Young17, I don't think there could be any misdiagnosis because if you were not diabetic and took 9 units of insulin each day, you'd most probably suffer a serious hypo. But because your Hba1c was 5.4, it shows that your insulin is obviously working and you are most probably quite active in...

Hi all! I was diagnosed with Diabetes 12 years ago on my 12th birthday (now 24 years old) after having usual symptoms of Diabetes straight after coming back from my first ever holiday from France. I still remember that night when I was having dinner with my family and my mother made some...
