My GP prescribed an antihistamine that isn't an off the shelf variety when I had a nasty bite that wouldn't heal and said I should not buy a run of the mill off the shelf one as I am diabetic

My husband's had a series of eye problems over the last few years, (not diabetic) and the eye drops do have lasting effect. When I have my diabetic tests, I need to wear sunglasses in the house all day, even though my annual test isJanuary, so I would say take a friend or family member to drive...

Flexitol will sort nasty cracks out in 3 or 4 days, but body shop coconut body cream or body shop hemp are both good too. I bought a pair of socks from body shop, though they sell them elsewhere, but cream your feet up at bedtime and put the socks on and wear them overnight and that helps too

Best bet is to make your own. Chip up your potato, put a little olive oil into a sandwich bag, put the chipped potato into the bag and rub all over from the outside of the bag to cover the chips. Take the chips out of the bag without the excess oil and cook at about 220 degrees for just over 10...

I'm T2 on tablets only and DN nurse told me not to drive below 5.

I had the same problem for 2 or 3 years and had had a couple of distressing incidents on 2 consecutive holidays where I was desperate for the loo had a couple of "accidents" so talked to my diabetic nurse. As my tests showed I was doing ok, she said I could drop the metformin to 2 or 3 to see...

We make up an enormous bowl of salad on a Sunday evening and I top it off with a whole pack of flaked salmon (they do different flavours eg honey roast ) or chilli king prawns - it's surprisingly filling. Or cook an extra portion the night before if you have access to a microwave- curry or...

Never taken my lancet abroad with me but would get a GP letter just in case especially as we travel from Bristol who nitpick at anything- testing mouthwash as we went through and not putting lid on so my husband's hand luggage (and we only take hand luggage to Fuerteventura as all you need is...

However you do need to up it for driving - having been told recently you should be "5 to drive"

Don't buy ready made - buy a cauliflower break the florets off and halve the bigger ones; whizz briefly in food processor until it looks a bit like couscous. Either season a bit and eat raw (makes a fabulous tabbouleh or couscous salad) or fry for a few minutes in olive oil to make it warm...

Have you tried cauliflower "rice" I only tried it for the first time a couple of weeks back and am now an absolute convert

I would speak to someone in your HR department and talk about discrimination in the workplace.

I did a chilli the other night and made cauliflower rice for the first time so as to reduce the carb intake - really easy and honestly couldn't tell the difference! Hubby just thought it was couscous. Take all the florets off your cauli and put in food processor. Give several 2 second whizzes...

Haven't used it yet cos only bought it today, but with Christmas present money have bought a spiralizer. (£15 from Lakeland) It means I can turn veg, eg courgette into spaghetti or linguine type shapes and kid myself I'm eating pasta, while actually doing something good for my body and bs...

depends, I suppose on how high your cholesterol is and whether you can bear the taste, but have you tried a small glass of beetroot juice a day?
