Hi @fendertele, Have you seen "The Cholesterol Code" on Amazon yet. A documentary that endeavours to prove, specifically for people on a low carb high fat diet with increased cholesterol as a result, that high cholesterol is not connected to heart attacks. You might find it interesting. ;) :bag:

Hi @robin321, this is fairly normal. You will find that you deal with a Diabetic Nurse not a Doctor. Results are relayed over the phone, not a face to face appointment. Discussing anything which requires the Doctors attention with the Diabetic nurse is pointless; they usually can not make an...

Fascinating. I don't want to our conversation to generated any more unpleasant memories @zand thanks for sharing. :bag:

That fascinating @zand it didn't stop to consider the obvious down side of "smell-a-vision". Do you have any control over it or is it completely involuntary? I.e. The try not to think of a of a pink rhinoceros scenario. OR if it helps the end of Ghostbusters choose your own destroyer...

I will bow to your experience I didn't even know it was a thing I had to google it. But it is the type of thing you see in movies all the time. As with many things I just put it up to Its a visual medium and they have to convey it some how. Abstract smell makes perfect sense thanks @Melgar...

This is why I would fit in, in Australia I just call everybody Mate. :bag:

Now that is interesting. Didn't know this was a thing just looked it up; are you able to, sticking with an Apple, imagine it with your eyes open sitting on a desk and moving to a chair etc... that would implied external imagination. Faces I can't visualise you when your not here. I would be...

That sounds like the definition of hyper-Aphantasia. When I close my eyes all I see is the back of my eyelids. Are you able to utilise any of the other senses when imagining anything? Just curious. :bag:

Hi everyone thanks for taking a look, this is nothing important just satisfying my curiosity. I discovered recently I have Aphantasia. It's supposed to be rare 4% of the population the inability to voluntarily visualize mental images. The diagram shows it best if your asked to close your eyes...

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends a maximum of 9 teaspoons (36 grams) per day for a man. A few years back when I was first diagnosed I misread this as 9 grams of sugar per day and actively stuck to that, I went from a XXXL to a M in approx. 6 months and reversed my condition to...

Not actively but I am lazy and usually cook enough food to put a portion or two in the fridge for the next couple of days. My daughter calls this leftovers. I call it pre-made dinner. ;) This came up a little while back there I looked into retrogradation, chilling cooked carbs over night...

Hi @Jamietomkinson1990 there are over 400 view on your post but no one seems to be answering I guess like me they don't know exactly what to say, its clear your struggling. It sounds like you feel your concerns are falling on deaf ears with the diabetic foot check, its horrible when you don't...

Hi @Jamietomkinson1990 I understand what your going through, not getting any sleep at nights is debilitating. I was prescribed Amitriptyline, to help me get some relief from neuropathy in my feet at nights and let me sleep. I found it worked the tables made me drowsy enough to get to sleep and...

Hi @Nicksellick I'm sure you have already heard this dairy products have naturally fatty acids which are linked with health benefits like lowering cholesterol and improving insulin sensitivity. This sounds like a no brainer, but the perception is fat is bad for you. Because eating fat will...

Similar to the report conducted to prove that cheese does not give you nightmares if you eat it late at night commissioned by the British Cheese board. :banghead: I always like the fire fighters are found at every fire - ergo they set the fires. @))Denise(( if its something your interested...
