I've had a scare lately, a very close pal has had a stroke ( albeit minor) aged just 39. We're both of the same ilk, love a beer or seven, adore red meat and game and eat for pleasure. His illness hasn't half scared me into realising that at 46, I need to get my backside moving and lose some...

I'm on 1000g x 2 a day... The beer that knocks me sideways is Stella Artois, it REALLY upsets my stomach, sometimes with just one pint of it or a can.. Real ale is fine, as is wine, but if I have a night out or a party and drink over 5 pints, I know the following day is written off due to a...

Ello Wendle! Thanks for the reply, no blood present, Ive been 4 times this morning, starting a new job tomorrow so not wanting to keep disappearing!! I think a trip back to GP is in order, but he keeps mentioning insulin, which as a driver is the worst thing that could happen, I am sure I...

Hi All.. Please be advised that this post maybe a little graphic... I apologise in advance.. I have been diagnosed type 2 for 8-9 years now, and until recently have had good control. My medication has been changed several times throughout. I started out on Gliclazide, but found this sent me...

Agreed with Lib.. I'd have a big spike on that!

hmmmm not a nut fan....

Labs... canine dustbins! :lol: all legs, paws and slobbers, such a lovely breed of dog. Thanks for the advice, I do like the idea of a cold meat breakfast, and also the pate in lettuce leaf sounds divine, but lettuce hates me!! Makes metformin look like an angel :shock: !! We're off to Bury...

Hi All.. Recently i have gone through a big change, after feeling unwell, and not testing, I discovered I was running BG's at 18-20. A drastic change of diet, alcohol intake and help and advice from this forum, my BG's are between 4.9 and 8.1.. My average reading is 6.7. However, as I type...

arrgggghh not sausages :lol: :lol: I've seen enough sausages and scramblers to last me a lifetime :lol: I like the idea of pate, but I really do miss a bowl of shreddies...

Hi All.. What do you low carbers eat for breakfast? I am starting a new job soon with 6 am starts, so really am going to be pushed, plus, i am getting fed up of scrambled eggs already! What will fill me up and give me a good start to the day without having to take up too much time. Thanks in...

And me!! :thumbup: :wave:

Top stuff Hana.. Am I right in saying then that as soon as I see summat spike my BG's it's not for me? Will go peek on Amazon now for some book ideas. Ta Kev :thumbup: :wave:

Hi all.. Since joining the forum, I have learned plenty about Diabetes, the carbs thing has puzzled me a little, what with Low GI and all that.. When I felt unwell recently, I went to my GP and asked for dietary advice, he mentioned porridge and shredded wheat as breakfast.. I am testing pre...

Agree with Sid on this.. I have just renewed my HGV for the first time, I have been put on a 3 year renewal, so that sort of made me sit up and look at myself. The DVLA have stipulated that testing should be carried out "Twice a day and at times when relevant to driving", ambiguous, yup, but at...

Hello Zhaith.. It sounds like we have had a mirror image year, apart from my Doctor being ok! Like you, I've had to put up with a bit of late, and let's just say there's a bit of snow on the rooftop.. I have noticed that my BG levels rise sharply when I get stressed, which is pretty often at...
