    Contour diabetes app and Apple Health

    My Contour app has stopped syncing my test results with Apple Health since 6th July. Contour help suggests it is an Apple issue. Anyone else having similar issue?

    Struggling with Meformin

    I had a similar experience on Metformin over 10 Years ago but my GP changed it to Glucophage which was a slow release version and my body tolerated that fine. Don’t know if it is still available but you might ask

    Breakfast when travelling

    Thanks, I will have a fridge and hadn’t thought about that. Will probably take some berries and a small yoghurt pot in a cool bag. Some nuts would be good for mid morning as well.

    Breakfast when travelling

    I am going on holiday soon and have an early morning flight. In view of travel times to the airport i will need to stay overnight but the hotel does not open for breakfast until after I need to depart. They have offered me a packed breakfast but it is far too heavy in carbs and sugars for me...

    Dec 2014 update: New research on the Low Carb Diet in general practice

    Please help!! Waitrose refuse to stock 'LivLife Low Carb Bread'

    My local Waitrose have also not had any Burgen Soya & Linseed bread for over a week. Type 2. Was out of control till I found this forum. Low Carb and testing saved me. Glucophage 1 per day down from 4. HBa1c down to 36

    Dec 2014 update: New research on the Low Carb Diet in general practice

    I was diagnosed with a fatty liver in 2002 supposedly relating to alcohol consumption. Subsequent blood tests have confirmed that it wasn't getting worse but no test was carried out when I had my last HbA1c last month.
