Thank you so much for all your help. I will be ringing the doctors today to find out what my numbers were. I am sure that my numbers increased because of Christmas and New Year, as I was really naughty with chocolate, sweets and puddings. I have been shocked into a new way of life and hopefully...

Bacon and eggs, this was a shock as love these. Anythi Thank you for your advice it is much appreciated ! I am slowly finding more and more suggestions and need to educate my partner now too. My partner did the shopping yesterday thinking he was doing me a good turn and bless him, there is...

First I was afraid, I was petrified.... time to get the sugar to walk out the door...it's not welcome any more :-(
