I can't help with your OCD, but I had one of those letters and had a bit of a meltdown, was refered to the hospital for further tests, yes it was there but minor and no treatment needed. I've been monitored for about 18 months, in which time it's resolved itself and have now been signed back...

try adding a little salt - you can't taste it and it stops it freezing quite as hard, I haven't tried cottage cheese, but it's another one to add to the experiment list, Hijack away the more recipes the better

I'm afraid I don't, but it would vary on the type of cream and milk that you use (in theory you could use all cream which would reduce the carbs even further, but increase the fat) my other new favourite is Frozen Quark with a splash of vanilla and frozen berries, no sweetner needed

In this (glorious?) hot weather I thought I'd share my low carb Mint Ice-cream receipe. I use my Ninja creamy, but it can also be done in an Ice cream machine or even no churn. 2 Avacodos 250mls Double Cream 250mls Milk of your choice 100g Powdered sweetener (I use Erythritol) 1 tspn...

If you're in the UK both Libre and Dexcom regularly have free trials - one sensor which can be eye opening https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html Libre https://www.dexcom.com/en-GB/dexcom-one-plus-sample Dexcom Personally I prefer the dexcom - the sensors are smaller...

I get intermittent tinnitus - yet another menopausal symptom, but the earlobe squeeze "hack" works for me. When it starts you squeeze the fleshy part of your earlobes as hard as possible (finger on front/thumb on back) give it a try.

If you look at my signature I take all of these (Trulicity is an Ozempic sister drug) plus dapagliflozin, alongside a lower carb diet to keep my BG's under control. Meals it's not about the size, but the carb content, BUT (and it's a big one) you need to be comfortable with both your...

My Daily Metformin dose is 2550 (3*850 a day) so I wouldn't panic about an overdose situation

It could depend on the airport, some have the new scanners with a higher liquid allowance, some are still on the 100mls in a clear plastic bag, and coming back could have different rules to going. I think @Lakeslover idea an excellent one

Wrists and ankles always wrists and ankles. Since perimenopause began I describe my figure as a beach ball balanced on 2 cocktail sticks

When it comes to the smoking, don't give up giving up. I was a 20 a day smoker who quit many times before it stuck, I tried cold turkey, patches (was allergic to the sticky), gum, lozenges, it did eventually stick (although I gained A LOT of weight) I've been "clean" for about 20 years now. Be...

Give us some example of a days food/meals, and we can give you some advice on how to "tweak" them.

If you can check the readings against an actual finger prick - apart from that I'm sorry I don't have any further advice except maybe talk to you DN/GP for advice

Are you in the UK? Do you have the NHS app with access to your GP records? everything should be on there, and if you need help interpreting there are some very knowledgeable people here

Slightly off topic, but I'll loan you my Mum - she can smell ketones at 100 paces
