Hi @David Paige I'm curious what advice are they giving now? When I was diagnosed it was eat lots of meals a day, extra snack in-between meals, add plenty of carbs. :banghead: :bag:

Hi @pattyhigh there will be some one along shortly who can offer advice from personal experience the Libre and mounjaro injections. When your newly diagnose there is so much to wrap your head round it can be a bit daunting. Years ago I saw a excellent Japanese documentary on Glucose Spikes...

I'll bow to your experience here @StewM. The registered letter is to let them know you are gathering evidence and are prepared to take it further. It is frustrating that they seem to take there que's from the plot of a bad thriller, "Sorry mam we can't do anything about the man harassing...

A quick google search is usually the answer to everything. :bookworm: Carbs in a Medium Carrot (61g): 6 grams A medium-sized onion (about 110g) has roughly 10.3 grams. Mushrooms Per cup - approximately 70–96 grams of button mushrooms has about 2.3 grams carbs. 2 carrots an onion and a cup...

Hi @fumanchu veg are carbs too. You say low carb around 60 grams but how are you counting this? I know for myself in the beginning I never took into account onions, mushrooms, garlic or even carrots in as they were flavour in a stew.:banghead: Simplest answer maybe that you need to go even...

Hi @StewM it has been my experience when dealing with a complaint, of any nature, you need to let them know you intend to be taken seriously and will peruse the matter further if need be. @Bill_St Suggested putting your complaint in writing.:bookworm: If I can expand on this make sure any...

Hi @frenchie01, you are still diabetic. Think of it as an alcoholic who has stopped drinking, they are still an alcoholic. They will always be an alcoholic. Its great to hear that you have, by the sounds of things, got your condition under control well done. You should be proud of yourself...

Hi @MCMLXXIII I did spot the deliberate typo there no ones going to hold it against you. ;) Cheat day once a week is 12 times over the 3 months, no judgement but you want to reduce you number substantially this is the best place to start. I understand the reason to have a cheat day, but is it...

Welcome back @bigjim19 there are no rules on how you interact with the forum, drop in or out as often as you need to. Anytime you leave always remember you are always welcome back no questions asked. Well maybe just one question, who would win in a fight between a crocodile and a gorilla? :bag:

Hi @Defiant_Turtle2026 from personal experience it can last a few months, 3 for me others above have said around the same. It's very disconcerting if you don't know what happening I arranged an eye test Optician said there was a slight change nothing to worry about rescheduled an appointment...

That's good to hear. Hope it works out for you @ElizaKate. :bag:

Hi @ElizaKate sorry don't mean to put a fly in the ointment, you're profile says Type 2 diet control only. As far as I am aware as you are not on medication this does not meet the legal definition of a disability under the Equality Act 2010. Type 2 diabetes controlled by diet alone is generally...

Hi @Idiot_dad Might I suggest you burn that bridge when you get to it. It has been my experience that taste buds can change. Like you I was looking forward to a treat a Giant Twix when I reversed my condition didn't enjoy it as I though I would; it was Soooooooo sweet. :meh: You should be...

The 5:2 Diet book by Dr Mosley outlines recopies it you haven't read it yet. :bookworm: From experience eating when your hungry, instead of conforming to meal times, is a great help. It may prove helpful to cook meals and have them in the fridge ready to go. Its a pain waiting until 8 to get...

Don't wizz on an electric fence. These may be the 2 best pieces of advice you will ever receive. :bag:
