Hello and welcome. The advice given to me was to take the metformin part way through my meal. I've done this ever since I started in November and thankfully have never had a problem with it.:joyful:

Hello and welcome. If you scroll down the forums page there's a whole section on nutrition and diets. You may notice that most people here, including me, go for the low carbohydrate diet as many carbs turn rapidly into glucose when eaten and cause high blood sugars which need to be avoided by...

Hi amgrundy. Cauliflower cheese is quick and easy to make. I just buy frozen cauli and cook per instructions. I then make a really quick cheese sauce with cream heated on the hob and stir grated cheese in until it melts and a teaspoon of English mustard stirred in for a bit of a kick. It's...

So she's colour blind too...? :joyful: X

Hello amgrundy. I'm so sorry to hear about the shocking things you've had to deal with and I just wanted to say I admire your positivity. Jan x

Hi ladybird. No problem at all - I stand corrected :happy: and I'm glad that you now get them free. X

Hello there. One word...WOW!!!
