Thanks all, taken every bodies comments into consideration - the water bit definitely works. I'm totally starving but hopefully I'll get used to it soon.

Thanks all, I''ll keep on with the fruit and see how my blood sugar levels are. Re your suggestions I have amended my menu although I can see this is going to need to be changed quite a lot , any other ideas you have would be so appreciated and thanks for giving me the time of day xx

My weight stalled went to the dietician and she said it could be down to plate size and i also eat chips a few times a week. So I have started to put together a diet sheet and will test after every meal to see how it effects me - but initially can you see anything that I should leave alone...

I've been feeling down for well over a week now, it started at a gig with me trying to cheer a mate up and I got upset and have been pretty down ever since and silly. Mind you I think its my toe as well and not depression as such as its swelling on a daily basis and throbs something cronic.

Hey I think Ken is right - I have a friend whos type 1 who hypos on a regular basis as she doesnt seem to be that bothered about her health ( I've pointed her to this site) She defiantly is very vacant and her speech almost slurs , I also know when shes about to go into hypo as shes distracted...

Yes I do, I put it down to still being over weight as both my ankles swell as well.

Hey all , was wondering if other Diabetes are slow healers. I really stubbed my big toe about 6 weeks ago, bruises formed on my big toe almost up to my ankle and there was also bleeding under the toe nail and my whole foot was very swelled. Hospital said it wasnt broken just badly bruised and...

Nope she said it was routine - feel fed up today cause I've rang out of money and only paid a week ago and my hubbies got no job again - but thats life lol .

Yep I have porridge with 1/2 water and 1/2 skimmed milk on a regular basis using the cheapo oats from Tescos and seem fine with it. Some people here suffer with high blood levels everwards but I seem fine. Also like to have cheese on toast but after my cholesterol reading thats now banned...

I have my nurse who is cool and I can ring her when ever and you lot of course ( oh and my hubbie he seems to know when I'm about to become unwell before I do)

Some times its just genetic, my big brother has high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and he is skinny very healthy veggie and cycles ever day. Thats life - some of us are unlucky others live a long fruitful life and win the lottery ( perhaps we;ve all been naughty in a previous life lol. )

I was asked yesterday by my Diabetic nurse - do I get much depression. Got me wondering do I - I mean I have my off days , same as everybody else but maybe the term is too general. What does everybody think? BTW this was part of my review which was a pleasing 6.1 however my cholesterol was up...

Well been to the docs today to get my bloods done will have the results next week. Tested my BP as well and was pleased enough to say i could drop one of my tablets. Must be the weight loss - also got some fabo music news today as well which I cant directly post about so check my profile .

Hey my brother is in the army in Germany and he has told me that he has a colleague with Diabetes type 1 so I'd probably question it if you really want to join.

Just wanted to say I have had the best day for a long time - lots of good stuff with my music and I feel dead healthy for a change and I've lost more weight :0)
