I'm not saying that I wouldn't use food banks if I was so desperate, but that it's a shame on this, "rich" country of ours that they are needed..

Just been watching the news where they were talking about the state of the economy and how many people are having to use food banks. They also discussed what was given out in the food parcels. It showed tins of meat and fish, long life milk, juice, dried foods-potatoes, noodles etc, and sugar...

Mines a similar recipe. Can't see sherry trifle being much of a problem. Make low carb buns with coconut flour and ground almonds. Soak liberally with sherry. cover with raspberries and sugar free jelly. Make custard with sugar substitute. pile on cream or crème fresh and top with flaked...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Been awake since 2:30 with a virus that's making me cough whenever I lie down. Gotta go to work in the morning and just soooo tired. Grrrr again!!

Ate you sure that the reading of 19.5 was correct? Could it have been contaminated as it does seem unusually high, especially as your morning readings are quite reasonable. I'm usually in the 5.8 to 6.3 range, but have never recorded anything over 12.5, and that was at Christmas. (Gave into...

Been drinking loads, deliberately. Important to keep hydrated when the heats turned up. Love the long awaited summer. :D :D :D

Like you there is no history of diabetes in the family, and I have never had serious weight issues, but at the time of diagnoses I had been suffering from stress for a good while. The only other factor that I can see is that I had been travelling and had picked up a really nasty stomach bug that...

I never won anything either, but my daughter seems to win all sorts. Maybe I should ask her for tips. (Sorry I lied, did win a pamper day once a long time ago).

The fat was measured on a weighing scales in a chemists. I am female aged 59 and have a quite physical job and go to Zumba. I do eat bread, but try to keep my carbs down by small portions. Maybe I need to cut it out completely? Bs levels are not great, but within the suggested rate from what I...

I have been eating a lower carb diet for a while. Result, got on the scales to read a weight of 8st 4 and height of 5-3. Great if I hadn't checked my body fat. The readout states it is 43% and poor is 41% so mine must be bloomin awful. Now feel I have to cut out the cream and butter as well as...

Highest 13.5, another victim of the fatal mince pie. Lowest 4.8 two days ago 90 min after eating a couple of pieces of chocolate. Yeah I know it makes no sense, but am used to that. :crazy:

That £90 jumper marked down to a very low fiver .. would you still have bought it at a higher price of 8, 9 or even £10? I manage a charity shop, (30% of volunteers are diabetic), and I would love to know the answer :?: We keep the prices low as if we hitch em uo we find we get stuff left. I...

Thanx catherinecherub, I have a sore throat at the mo and you just reminded me of my grandma's cure for it. Have some manuka honey I got for on the grandkids porridge so here goes. :D

After being ,diagnosed as T2 a few years back, and then after an oral glucose test being told I was pre diabetic instead, I have gone back yearly for a HBA1c. This year, which has been somewhat stressful, my HBA1c was up a quite a bit,or so I thought since the doc decided to do another oral...

Roast butternut sqyash is nice too. I combine it with onion, peppers, coutgettes garlic etc, have it with my meat, then turn the remainder into soup. Or you could skip it with the meat and just go for the soup, it doesn't even look like a bowl of veg then. :)
