Thanks @JoKalsbeek it would be wonderful to stop the migraines, though they have reduced since I started the B12 injections. @Goonergal thanks for that, I’ll have a read through. There are so many more options than I had first thought, I’m very grateful for the help.

Thanks @TriciaWs , @JoKalsbeek , @HSSS . I don’t drink tea/ coffee but I’ve always preferred proper full fat milk anyway. Skimmed seems such a con! Don’t know yet about cauliflower, we’ll see next week. Cheese should be ok if it doesn’t smell like feet, or is mouldy. Here’s another...

@JoKalsbeek I discovered olive oil last year. On french bread unfortunately. Also bad with herbs/ spices but I do like garlic salt and onion powder. No nuts or avocado or seeds. Cheese I can tolerate a little cheddar on a burger. Eggs in cake! Though I had it scrambled on toast 4 months ago and...

Thanks @HSSS I will get some flour next week. My first pizza was in a cafe and had chips on it! On mount Sicily! There’s definitely a pattern. I’m excited now, thanks. Thanks @JoKalsbeek (did that work?). I was nervous about admitting that. I think my problem is mainly texture, though smell and...

Thanks. This is going to sound really stupid/ pathetic/ weak/ crazy to most people. I have an unusual eating disorder (ARFID), bit like food phobia. The photos of food are enough to terrify me! I am working on it, but it’s a lifelong thing. I’ve only just managed to eat pizza and now I can’t. I...

Nooooo. Not spuds and bread! Seriously though I do understand that they’re terrible carbs. I’ll try more meat and less potato tomorrow to see what happens. May be that I have to go carni as I just can’t work out how to exchange potatoes/ bread with something else.

After dinner yesterday it went from 6.0 to 8.4 (mash, minced beef, gravy and Yorkshire pudding). Tonight 5.3 to 9.4 (2 sausages, bacon, chips, tomato ketchup and small bit of french bread). Drat and double drat. I would have thought mash = chips, bread = Yorkshire pud, ketchup = gravy? The cheap...

I’ve been having a read through your links, thanks. I’m puzzled by my BG not going up/ down much. Am hoping it’s the Vimto squash, I hadn’t realised how many carbs were in it. As a direct replacement for cola I thought it was ideal. Ho hum. Water only for a few days as I don’t like the sugar...

Thanks Hsss and Jo. I found my high BG through borrowing the meter I got for my cat! No reason, was just curious. Then went back through old blood tests, it’s been high normal for 3 years. I am glad to hear that eating once or twice is better, not sure how I got that wrong. I have always...

I did my BG 2 1/2 hours after eating and it was 6.5. That’s good, right? Maybe I’m overly worrying about this. By the way I have a cat with diet controlled diabetes. It was 20 BG before changing her food. First symptom was she was walking funny.

Hello. I’m 46, female with no family link to diabetes. I have 2 autoimmune conditions, Hashimotos thyroid and Pernicious anaemia. No direct family link to this either, possibility of a grandmother. I also have hypoparathyroidism (controls calcium) and have Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy (so can’t...
