(((()))) Sending you a massive hug Cuddles. It is a big shock to be diagnosed - if you have a look on this forum there are any posts from people who have been recently diagnosed who are struggling to come to terms with it and feeling like they don't know where to start.
The information that...
Didie I am so sorry to read of your loss. It must be such a shock as it all happened so quickly but I am glad that your mother was able to stay in her home as she wished with you to care for her.
Please be really gentle with yourself and take good care. You are in my thoughts xxx
Oh that's a shame. They don't seem to have an effect on me in that way. Sometimes I wish they would to balance out the effect of the low carb diet :lol:
Hope you are feeling ok today!
Hi Fantompoet,
Hello and welcome! You have definitely come to the right place for advice and support. it actually sounds like you are doing really well already in terms of making changes and getting to grips with it. I am sorry to hear you are feeling so low though, it is a big shock and you...
Hi!
I had GD and now have a nearly 12 month old (birthday on Friday!).
I had another GTT when baby was 6 weeks old and I also still have impaired glucose tolerance/pre diabetes.
I am also still breastfeeding and also wonder how much of an effect it has on my levels as I have read that...
Re: Well I'm going to have to kick Meusli into touch...
I have either Greek Yoghurt with a few blueberries or scrambled eggs. I get the Yeo Valley Greek yoghurt which is so smooth and tasty that I often just have it on its own.
For scrambled eggs I add in a bit of cream and some French mustard...
Hi Melboi and welcome to the forum,
I am sorry to hear you are feeling so low. It sounds very frustrating.
Do you want to tell us a bit more about your situation and hopefully there will be someone who can offer some advice for you?

Hi Jake and welcome :wave:
Are you Type 1 or Type 2?

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow -...
Can I ask how you got it like mash? Only I have tried with a turnip but it just ended up sort of wet and in bits and not very like mash at all :lolno:
I love turnips though so would be interested to know what you did!
(((((())))))
Can you get any support with all the other things going on to give you a bit of a break?
And in terms of your health, can you just try and take baby steps to get back in control of things? Like, tomorrow plan to have a good breakfast and aim to go for a walk for just 10 mins. And...
This is all really interesting. I am so interested in the Newcastle diet but I don't think I would be able to do it, at least not right now. I do find that low carbing I am so much less hungry that I used to be and I can imagine a day of not having breakfast and eating a meal around 12ish and...
I did this but put the mixture into a silicone muffin tray so got 12 individual crustless quiches. I put in courgettes, red peppers and feta cheese. Have been having them for lunch this week, would be great for a picnic too!
thanks Hana. I will have a look at those. I tend to wear Birkenstocks which I find very comfortable.
Well I went to the doctor this morning and it turns out to be pompholyx exzema. I feel embarrassed for freaking out and imaging the worst :oops: :oops: :oops: anyway no treatment as such but...
Hi Mileana and thanks for the reply!! Really appreciate it and yes you are so right about not self diagnosing, oh so tempting though!!! :lol:
Am seeing the doctor tomorrow so will let you know what she says.
Thanks again :thumbup: xxx
