It could be something as simple as a shoe being too tight and affecting the nerve. I have had bother with my feet in the recent past - but they have recovered - admittedly there was severe pain needing antibiotics and a lot of cushioning underfoot, but even being over 70 did not mean I did not...

I have found that - admittedly after a long time eating low carb, that my need to eat is rather low. I can easily eat just one meal a day and feel fine - but I eat protein and natural fats - a chop or steak with mushrooms or stirfry for instance, full fat Greek style yoghurt and berries, coffee...

I have the temperament of a Viking Berzerker - I don't have anger problems, other people do though. I lose my temper with a gleeful smile and enough adrenalin to pick up small cars. It happens very rarely as I am usually perfectly peaceful - I never start trouble, but if people come looking then...

Mayday morning I go out in the dark and dance up the sun on the deck in the back garden, just to make sure that Summer gets going properly.

@Nicksellick I am currently reading a book describing the ways in which intelligent people tried every which way to make the geology they could see and even stand on somehow match the description of the creation of the world in Genesis. In some ways it is amusing and in others heart breaking. It...

@IanA123 Do try to start Metformin when you can be at home for a couple of days, just in case you are one of those unlucky enough to react badly to it. Some people can take it and be absolutely trouble free - for others, moving more than ten paces from the bathroom is inadvisable.

it is the Low Carb Support group on Facebook - but it is years since I was active on there as it is not directed at diabetics so I would not know how far back you'd need to go to find any information. It was not the diet causing the trouble it was people already taking BP lowering medication...

At home my blood pressure is around 110 to 120 and 60 to 70 - I think that is due to the very low carb diet I keep to. It is higher at the surgery but I suspect that the climb up the stairs is the culprit. I used to run over mountains, but that was long ago now. My husband has been put on blood...

You might find one held in a private room at a pub, or in a hall or even someones home. My local club is Sunday afternoons at a church hall - free coffee, tea and biscuits.

Do you check your after meal blood glucose levels just to check that all is on plan? That was how I picked up that I should not eat beans and other legumes as I can get more carbs out of them than the value listed. It could be that you are eating a 'healthy' food which is elevating blood glucose.

You could try making 'looks like noodles' which are eggs and soft cheese mixed together thinned with a little water so it will flow, then make thin pancakes with butter in the pan,, do not brown. Roll up the pancakes and slice into ribbons so as to look as noodle-like as possible.

@Hoodiegirl3 I did very well with my playing and making in the years after leaving Portsmouth Polytechnic. t has made quite a difference to my life since leaving home. Back then I used to crochet caps with peaks - they were all the rage back in the days of hippies. I still make them, - since...

@Diabetic2ForYou I don't eat potatoes, pasta, bread, - I avoid grains and starchy foods, very few legumes. My menu is eggs, cheese, meat, fish, full fat yoghurt, I put cream in my coffee - a fair bit of salad and veges, but all low carb options. I make curries using cauliflower instead of rice...

I think it is the actual website which didn't recognise the name with a space, search engines are perhaps clever er ah.

@CatsFive the meter is actually a Tee2 + the website doesn't recognise Tee 2 with a space - I got very perplexed by that little problem when trying to order some strips.
