    How do you discipline yourself?

    I low carbed religiously for 3 years after being diagnosed and everything was fine, I fell off the waggon for the last three years and everything seemed OK and I kidded myself maybe I could eat normally but just to be on the safe side I had better get back on target, but I just could not do it...

    Flu jab side effects

    I wouldn't touch the flu' jab or any other jab with a barge pole. If you knew what went into these vaccinations you wouldn't either. The 'flu is hyped up, I had 'flu when I was 7 in 1957 and I was very ill. Since then, I have had bad colds etc etc but never flu. My daughter had pneumonia...

    which is worse for our body

    I have often pondered this and come to my own conclusion that it is insulin that causes the damage in T2's. T2's have enough insulin but cannot use it, so why give them more insulin? does this cause all the awful things like nerve damage, heart problems, kidney failure and blindness? On a...

    Is marijuana good for diabetes?

    Yes it is. it has the potential to cure diabetes. The marijuana is made into an oil which gives you the curative properties without the 'high', look for 'run from the cure' by Rick Simpson on you tube. The curative properties of cannabis are being withheld from us by Big Pharma. I contacted...

    Doctor Restricting Insulin Prescription

    I thing everyone including all diabetics have something to complain about when the NHS is funding breast enlargement operations to the tune of £4500 for someone who wants to be a so called 'glamour' model. I am a T2 and have not received so much as 1 test strip, I was given no dietary...

    how do you accept it?

    I put up with it but I try not think about having this for the rest of my life as it is too depressing. Within my family I feel a freak, the person who can't join in normal family life because of the dietary restrictions, I also feel like the skeleton at the feast putting a damper on...

    How old were you when you were diagnosed

    I was diagnoses at 58 in 2008 but I had been told two years before that I was 'pre diabetic' . I didn't understand the term, was I or wasn't I ? nothing was done by my doctor,I was very busy working and with heavy family committments so I ignored it, the rest is history.

    How did you come to be diagnosed?

    I had symptoms of terrible tiredness, hot flushes and morning headaches with nausea, most of which I put down to the menopause. Was about to visit the doctor when I was approached in Waitrose by the stroke foundation checking blood pressure, I had it checked even though I was on medication...

    Oh Whitby Jet you have done so well to come from being so down to contemplate jumping off a bridge ( and diabetes certainly makes you feel that way) to where you are now you are amazing. Your recipes sound wonderful and everyone on the site seems to love them but I can't find them? I think I...

    Willpower????

    Thanks Viv I think it helps to know someone understands how I feel! So far today I have managed to behave myself so maybe I will take it half a day at a time! I think telling yourself OK if you want it have it rather than you must not does in some strange way help as you feel you do have a...

    Willpower????

    I have fallen off the waggon big time. After low carbing religiously for almost 4 years, I have for the last 3 months become blase about what I eat. I know at worst it will kill me and at best will result in some terrible complication but I cannot control myself. I think the stress of a house...

    600 calories to "reverse" Type2

    I read this with great interest as anything is worth trying to rid myself of diabetes, it did strike a cord with me as something we recently have added or deleted from our diets has caused this epidemic. I have always felt that giving the pancreas a 'rest' might help it. I did contact the...
