Well , she just said that if I go out to a cafe and have what we are talking about , then it is very bad for me , yet having looked online it says that while not the best , so long as you do not have things like honey or such in your coffee it’s all ok , I will point out that this is the same...

One other thing she said was that having a toasted tea cake and a cappuccino was bad and would really make my levels spike .

She said that a lot of doctors who specialise in other areas get it wrong , he specialises in the pancreas , but seems she knows better , I could tell him , but I do not think it would be of any use .

Right , got the phone call and it’s no regards being given a testing kit , told if I was on medication then they could give me one , got the impression when she started going on that she was calling me a failure to be honest , seems because I hit a reading of 66mmoa couple of years ago I am not...

That’s not good on the needle phobia front for you , thanks for the info as well , the one thing that really does annoy me is the different attitude and knowledge in the profession , it all seems to be about trying to give you a pill that will cost the N H S loads over the years .

Many thanks for that

Cheers Ian

Well , the cost of those machines is prohibitively expensive and given how my practice is I doubt I will get anything from them , I will keep trying to lose some pounds and hope that helps ,would be nice to find out what food is best for me , the one that creates the most suger , but think it...
