I was told it was run by Paula Carr charity too but that I can't be included because I'm Deaf! It seems I'm forever having to make allowances for the 'hearing' such as lip reading them and they do nothing to make allowances for the Deaf. :(

Sorry for not being around much but I'm 'Trying' to spend time looking up Type 2 as my Dr's surgery has been pretty useless. Got the tablets, they're ok, Confused as hell about everything else but I'm gradually having to try and find out myself. Have asked to be referred to a dietician to help...

Hi and Thank you, Yes I'm keeping a food Diary that consists mainly of fish and veg at present sometimes with a jacket potato (medium size) Today before eating my BG was 5.5 then usually 2 hrs aftr eating it's between 7.0 and 8.0. First thing in the morning my fasting BG is around 7.1 now but I...

Hi, Thank you. Ok first things first. I won't ever have to worry about sweets cakes or bisuits as I hate them! The ONLY biscuit ever found in my home is Rich Tea and that's because it was the least sweet one I could find over the years. I'm more into savoury things but of course now things like...
