There is no way I'm letting anyone other than my partner and a few close friends know. I'm not going to have people silently scrutinise everything I eat.

Or not walk away. Wait for the reply. As they stumble they may realise they don't really know much.

When I was diagnosed one of my hobbies was making pizza so I miss that tremendously. With my trial CGM I wanted to test my home made pizza and found I peaked 6 hours later but didn't go back to normal until 10 hours after. So the plan next time is to split the dose into 3 and take quite a lot...

I found a small dose of B12 not very useful but have upped it considerably to 5 times the recommended dose. It is working very well now. There's actually no upper limit for B12.

Are you testing your blood Glucose levels? Thirst is a classic sign of bgl that is too high, even though you're treating it.

Every time I start statins my arthritis gets worse. When I stop it goes back to normal. Not great but much better than with statins.

Keep your sugars as low as possible.

It might be worth joining a heart disease forum to see what they have to say.

I've been taking vitamin B12 but will try folic acid too. Thanks.

For me 6.5 would be a little high making heart events more likely. But plenty of other people are ok with that level.

I've seen the doctors but they have nothing to offer except heavy duty pain killers. I want to prevent progression.

Thanks Incyb for this information. I have read it and will order now. Very much appreciated and I hope it makes a difference for my outcomes.

I seem to get more tingling when my control is good and my sugars low. Does anyone else experience this? Or know why it happens? It's really scaring me.

I wonder if your brand of coconut milk had sugar to sweeten or starch to thicken added but not disclosed.

Unfortunately not. [emoji17] The danger period for any weight loss diet is when you finish. You have to work out how much more you can eat, but often it's not much more than the diet. Jenny Ruhl has a good book on diets and what works or doesn't work.
