Agree - pains in feet not funny, always worth getting them checked out. My right foot was hurting so much the other day I went to local hospital - doc diagnosed gout and gave me anti-inflammatories. Few days later almost back to normal. Don't know what caused it but probably not diabetes...

Curries - yum I also love curries but most of our Indian restaurants are small and don't offer buffets. I make my own now but do miss the rice and home made chapattis. I have noticed however that poppadums are about 5 carbs each so have one of those now which really helps This is making me...

Big Hi and hugs to all newbies Couldn't agree more with what's been said - find something that suits YOU. I followed official advice including dietician from hospital and ate loads of multigrain bread, whole wheat pasta and brown rice - my BG went out of control and my doc kept upping my...

thanks for all the help! There are some useful tips. I have been on a low carb diet now for 2 weeks - total weight loss now 16 lbs. DN at surgery is helpful, she is monitoring my weight and BP every 2 weeks and has started measuring my BG as well, last measurement was 5.6 so we were both over...

Hi all Apologies if this has all been covered before but there is so much stuff out there! I have had T2 for about 2 years and am not managing well. My GP, DN and even local pharmacist all tell me that I do not need to monitor my BG at home. I have a HbAc test done every 3 months and it is...
