Some good advice there Patsy ... my experience of neck pain is usually to do with being anxious especially if you're worrying about your health. Hope you soon get it sorted.

Thanks for the replies everyone .. I had to look up what some of the words were :happy: I was diagnosed some many years ago when I was at my heaviest and just accepted what I was told and have never questioned it! I don't do a test every day but when I have and when I was in hospital my readings...

I know that it is a strange question but I really don't know how it is that I have been diagnosed with this. I have never had a bad reading of my sugar levels and I have been doing them myself and not had a high reading either.. I am at a loss to know how this is. I have not been prescribed...

This is an interesting thread so I thought I would add my twopenno'rth! I am now down to 173lbs and still hoping to lose a bit more but having had a bout of heart failure where I was seriously ill for quite a few weeks I am now disabled and it's much harder to do so. I am determined to continue...

I think that is great! .. dancing is the best way to get into good physical and mental health. I suffer from very bad depression and there's nothing like it to help change my mood and when I was able to keep me from seizing up with the old age creeping in .. :stop: IYKWIM ! Long may you...

Late getting back to reply (again!) as I've been very busy sorting out stuff ready to move which is most probably quite soon. TBH I never.. or very rarely bother to test.. when I was in hospital and they tested regularly every day my stats were perfectly okay despite whether I had just eaten a...

http://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/advice-support-40/serious-stuff-43/590700-can-i-reduce-my-high-cholesterol-without-taking-statin-drugs-anyone-done-all.html I thought this was very interesting.

Thanks.. I will. I'm finding it very difficult sorting though all this stuff... hopefully I'll get there in the end!

I am "only" on a diet controlled regime and I don't test very often anyway... fact is it is not recommended in the UK unless in extreme cases. More like it's to do with not wanting to supply the testing sticks. I was tested at regular hours when I was in hospital just recently as I had to have a...

I know my fibre is very low and sometimes it is much lower than that but I am trying to adjust my diet to maintain ALL levels required for a healthy diet which I am finding extremely difficult to say the least! Fact is I have always had great difficulty in that area no doubt through the old way...

I was taking account of all fats but having been told my cholesterol is very high and the fact that it is the saturated fats that are the cause I changed to calculating just those instead. As far as the carbs/sugar.. I know that the carbs intake prevent me from losing weight and that is why I...

My food today was Breakfast - Liberte Yogurt 100g + Alpro Dessert (these I had some 2hrs apart as I have to take my painkillers with something to eat) Lunch - Bread wholemeal 33g + Cheese 24g Snack - Cherries 20 + Oatcake 1 Evening - Ham 110g + Egg hardboiled 1 + Salad + Salad Cream 20g Extra -...

I am keeping a record of my low carb (not more than 100) & low calorie (1200per day) diet and also log the Saturated Fat (20gpd) Protein (60gpd) and Sugars which I have put at 45g per day. Very often the sugars go up quite a lot more than that but as the main problem of blood glucose levels are...
