I love pedicures, love having my feet rubbed by my other half (both of which are rare occurrences these day). I went to the fish foot spa place with my sister who loves it - I hated it! Couldn't stand the little beggars getting in between my toes. Yuck. Never again!!!! Sent from the Diabetes...

It's awful, I feel so desperately inadequate - Mums are supposed to be able to make everything better. I hope this Mother's Day I've stumbled across something that will change her life! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I ordered the book today - I really hope it offers hope to my daughter xx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I too have Type 2 and have had PCOS for about 20 years. My youngest daughter (18) has had HS for about 5 years. It's an awful, debilitating condition. Do you think there's some link between these conditions??? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Me too - would be good to find a 'meal plan' for one evening of the week so I can stop overthinking this :-| Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Also, I don't tend to drink anything with a meal - much to my Irish parents disgust - they drink tea every ten minutes ;-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I used to try and drink a small glass of fresh juice when I took my iron tablet but have given that up since being diagnosed with diabetes :-/ Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Totto - I've always hated everything about offal - the smell, the taste, the texture and I suspect that's a lot to do with the very thought of it. I'm not opposed on principle, if people like it then that's great - as you say it's packed with nutrients - it's just not for me. Sent from the...

I can't eat liver or eggs - never been able to abide either. But I'm very happy to eat red meat, green veg, spinach, chickpeas etc so should be ok. I think anaemia runs in the family so I also take a multivitamin with iron. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

That's helpful, thanks. I've bought a codefree blood glucose monitoring system. It only came with 10 strips so I've ordered more. Just need to get the hang of testing. From what I can tell, I should test before every meal and two hours after. I tested this morning when I woke up and it was 9.7...

I've seen other references to glass noodles. I assume you use them in stir fry... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Oh blimey, will I ever get this under control??? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks. That's a relief! Other than liver, I like and eat all of those things. I've been looking out foe a good lentil/chickpea curry recipe which sounds like it would be a good option for me. Thanks again. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks for the link. I used the calculator. It's a bit difficult to find the right exercise type. Have you been to Gymophobics? It is a 30 resisted tension 'circuit' - 8 machines and two floor exercises. You do 3 mins at each station. You essentially pump air into the machine which creates the...

OMG - what is the point of the 'of which sugars' bit then? How can I possibly only eat between 50-60g of carbs a day without eating a meat only diet?? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
