Anybody got any recipes for low carb pizza bases? It would be great to make my own!! :D

I've been low/no carb for some time now and it's the best thing going.....for me!!! I lost loads of weight, my lymphoedema improved and I feel so much better. I also believe the Palaeo diet is very similar, in that it's recommended we only eat natural, unprocessed food that our ancestors ate...

Hi guys, long time no see!! I've been busy with my new grandson.....born in August 2012!!! :D I have just been prescribed Saxagliptin, which I have been told is the new 'wonderdrug for us T2s!! I also take Diltiazem, and saw that there can be some contraindications between the two! On...

I agree totally. I have a number of medical problems which mean I am unable to exercise. I am classed a physically disabled and it really annoys me when people tell me I should walk more. Don't you think I would if I could?? I don't choose to be the way I am. I too have to use a trolley to...

Any chance of a copy? Pretty please? I live alone now, and I love Christmas cake, but buying one is really a no go for me!!

I have smoked cannabis now for more than 10 years. Like other posts, I have never experienced any negative effects. I am 55 though!! I agree, it is far less harmful as it is a naturally produced plant. If you think you will be badly affected then you will!! Cannabis smoke should be pumped...

Oh no.....the pork scratchings fairy has just knocked on my door and dragged me screaming to Sainsburys. Whose fault is it then???? :P :P

I still have A LOT to go, about 4 or 5 stone to be honest :( . I don't really get disheartened I get frustrated that whatever I do the weight will not shift!! I've found a site www.realage.com....American i know, but there's a few good ideas on it, including a 'walk at home' video that I've...

Oh, so glad you're still here Viv....your so inspirational. People still ask me how I can live without bread etc. But it's a lifestyle choice innit? And I've done so well, losing weight and not having to take insulin any more, although I do still need to take Lantus at night. I've lost 6...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn Usually between 3 and 5. This morning was 3.3. Please don't anyone say this is too low. I have functioned at 2.9 before now. My specialist says as long as I still have hypo awareness - which I most certainly do - I'm fine. :D...

Could your blood test have been wrong? I know that if I have something on my hands and don't wash them before testing this can give a higher reading than normal. Moisturising creams are the worst for me. This is why I can't understand how yours went from a 9 to a hypo in such a short time...

It sounds as though you may be pre-diabetic, but you seem to be doing all the right things. I'm very overweight like you and it is so **** difficult to lose weight. In my case I have trouble exercising as I have extremely poor mobility. I cut out all starchy carbs - bread, pasta, rice...

I bought some from zero noodles and I wasn't very keen on trying them. Just the look of them put me off.....especially after my daughter's observations!! :shock: BUT....I rinsed them more than the recommended tip then added them to a Chinese chicken curry and I was really very, very...

Ooh, I almost forgot. I very rarely eat breakfast....yes, yes, I know I should but I always feel very nauseous in the mornings and find it almost impossible to eat anything till about 11am. However, my fasting BM can be 4.1, but later, about 10am it can be 5.1!! Can someone explain to me why...

I was wondering - what's the difference between dextrose tablets and glucose tablets? Are they both the same? Is one better for a hypo than the other? I only ask cos I've only ever known of glucose tabs and then I saw dextrose tabs in Boots and they were far cheaper than the glucose ones...
