Thanks again, I have one of those so I can do that. Interesting to hear you can eat pearl barley, I is that to go in a "Corned Beef" recipe which is of the American variety rather than the tinned genre. The Soja bread I have never heard of although I do drink soja milk, but I am actually trying...

Sorry, that should have read "if blood tests (in a weeks time) are unfavourable again, and then he will decide if......

Thanks Pickled Pepper, I will indeed do that. My Doc said 3 weeks ago that I need to go back and see him, after receiving results if new blood test (in a weeks time) and he will decide if I need to go into hospital to have my triglycerides and Bss balanced for a few days. That is at roughly the...
