I make my own blue cheese dressing. 1 part mayonnaise to 2 parts full fat greek yoghurt. Some Danish blue cheese, how much depends on your personal preference , mash it all up with some lemon juice. It's one of my favourites. I haven't bought a salad dressing in years as it's easier and a lot...

I have something of interest you might want to listen to @momof3x . I attended an online conference on T1 screening. Although this is something the US are doing, hopefully other countries will at some point start something simular, it's a screening program for T1 - children as well as adults...

@MrsA2 I enjoy making jams, although I don't enjoy the mess on the stove and counters after I'm done. Unfortunately my body cannot tolerate sweeteners of any kind else I would be all over it. :confused: I also buy jams. I've looked up Thursday Cottage on Amazon.ca , but a jar is 10 x the price...

Well it looks delicious. And the ingredients are simple as well. I have just made some blackberry jam this morning. The blackberries are from my garden. So 9 cups of Blackberries, 5 cups sugar and 3 tbs lemon juice. No pectin as blackberries have enough. My question is, and it might be a daft...

I agree. My LDL's have always been raised even though my Triglycerides hover between 0.5 - 0.6. I can understand everyones concerns, particularly those who feel pressured to go on statins, even though their LDL figures are normal! I can also understand why people think it's to do with money and...

Interesting post @shelley262 . As a matter of interest were your Triglycerides low? I had high LDL's , normal HDL's but very low Triglycerides. I'm a lean and fit 64 year old . My liver stats were and are normal. The Dr's convinced me to go on statins. Unlike you I have suffered no ill effects...

I think of grapes as little balls of sugar.

Gen z 's all seem to be about apps @SimonP78 . That's my observation. Different generation different ways to access info. :hilarious:

Hello @LouiseMck May I suggest you change your profile info from diet controlled T2 to Insulin T2. There is a big difference. Members tailor their replies based upon how you are controlling your blood sugars. :)

Both my eyes are bad, although my right eye is marginally better than my left. I have triple vision plus the background glare drowns out the dark text. As I go further down the chart the letters become blob like and then mere specs. I'm going for another round on August 1st. They will do a count...

I live in Canada so they maybe different models. We have an old Cuisimart bread maker. It's about 25 years old and still works perfectly. The new ones now I'm sure are much better and more sophisticated. For me as long as they have a gluten free function it's all good. There are quite a few...

I wondered where you were @Outlier . I'm glad to see you back.

I think the Yuka app might help you @Lea Fowler . I believe it works in France and is in both French and English.

That's exactly it @MrsA2 . The preliminary steps you outlined are the same here to. Nothing hurts except the puff of air in the eyes always startles me. I do like the expression the Chart of Doom. That's exactly what it is. I struggle to even read the large letters at the top. You are right you...

Not wishing to derail @Bluemarinejosephine 's thread on citalopram. Just a quick comment on @Tony337 and @Ambermouse , I'm also coeliac. You are probably aware that there is a direct link with coeliac and depression. "CD has been linked to several psychiatric manifestations such as...
