Thank you x Been to the diabetic nurse today who says she doesn't think it is due to the diabetes but due to an intolerance. Need to make a drs appointment now!! I can completely understand why you don't eat out anymore. :(

I can't find any rhyme or reason with the foods. I have tried to keep away from foods that had made me ill previously but nothing seems to follow. The extreme reaction is a relatively new thing however I have been known to be ill after a meal out, way before I was diagnosed. Thank you so much...

It has happened with Chinese, Italian and English so no pattern :(

Hi everyone After I have been out for a meal in an evening I wake in the night with what feels like an allergic reaction. My heart feels as though it is going to leap out of my chest, my temperature feels really high and I feel sick. The first time I thought it was the beginning of an...
