I am in the same boat as yourself as we too have to travel miles to a supermarket. I now get a Tesco delivery once a week and keep the freezer topped up after a monthly shop at Aldi for the frozen veg for microwaving, fish and brown bread. I have often wondered if there is a meal delivery...

Why does it say that there is sugar in the tip to prevent bitterness on the web and where did you find out that there was no sugar. Thanks, Julie

I am a social smoker nowadays and my mum has just called me to say that Cigarettes contain sugar !!! Did anyone else already know this ? Trying my best to give up completely but I find if I meet up with anyone who smokes, I have one too :-(

Boiling water in an egg poacher that cost just a few pounds and its poached really quickly with hardly any mess :-)

I was thinking the same thing this morning...I have an Accu-Chek and although I am doing everything I should, I was 9.4 in the morning 6.2 in the afternoon and 12 at night. If I was eating normally, I dread to think ! Not sure if buy a meter was the right thing to do as it is making me...

Thank you for your advice, I will check out diet doctor and Jason Fung later today and let you know how I get on x After reading about ten books and loitering about on here I started with the GL diet and thought that would be enough to make a difference, then I got a meter. What a shock...
