    Shocked!

    I discovered very quickly that dairy causes me to bloat and discomfort so stopped all the dairy. However, yes i do eat lots of red meat and pork with the fat, streaky bacon and lashings of butter. I may have overdone this. Another lesson to be learned. Thank you donnellysdogs! I appreciate your...

    Raw Puer Tea

    I use Matcha raw organic pure green tea....but i have to use it sparingly as my levels were going too low with it. Initially i bought it for the 'free radicals' purpose but found it dipped my blood levels too. Sent from my SM-A500FU using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

    A doppler is a mini ultrasound scan to measure blood flow/pulses and circulation in your legs. Hopefully they have a trained nurse to do this for you. Sent from my SM-A500FU using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
