Hi Sorry but I sort of jumped into the forum ànd didn't introduce myself first, I get sort of impatient and want answers and want them last week :) I'm a 53year old female that was diagnosed 4 weeks and 5 days ago but who's counting ? I got a call out of the blue to see if I was ok by the out...

Thanks @Liam1955 :)

Kj1960 It's really hard to get your head round, your sent on your way with your diagnosis and if your lucky a good testing kit and told to get on with things. Just take a day at a time, you will get there but you need to be n control. If you don't have a glocose meter everyone says you should...

Hi, I would call your go back and ask for an emergency appointment, and ask them to check with a doctor as they called you and told you to make an appointment. I had a similar situation with my doctors receptionist, and I asked them to check with a doctor who called me back 15 mins later and...

Hi kj1960 I'm pretty new to this site and was diagnosed 5 weeks on Friday with type 2 diabetes. My blood sugar levels were 54 and I got a call in the middle of the night from my doctors out of hours team. The information I've found on this forum has helped me so much that my levels are in the...

Winnie and donnellysdogs It is so different for everyone, I've been using onions and garlic and it's not moved my BS levels at all, I just sniffed the tomatoes and it went sky high, I felt so sick when it reached its highest, I seriously didn't have that much... It was 160g can and the carbs...

The test was half an hour after eating, I wanted to see if the tomatoes affected my levels... Two hours later they were 9.3... This from 4.5 ... But after walking about 1.3 miles they dropped back to 5.8 and I've just taken them and they are at 5.3 So they have dropped back significantly I do...

W winnie the dog walk did it brought them diwn to 6.3 still high but that's an hour and 10 mins after I've eaten I'm going to test again before bed and see what happens. I'm dog sitting for the next few days, they are not my own but I do walk them three times a week when they are not with...

I have to say though, now onto my fifth week low carb and sugar and it's changing the way I'm looking at food. Yes I'm having spicy, yes I'm cooking everything from scratch again and to be honest I'm enjoying my food a lot more. I'm not missing pasta of rice at all, I substituted cauliflower...

Hi Hotpepper, I would have used fresh tomatoes as last time I made the pizza I used them, and your right it didn't hit my BS as much, I usually blend the tomatoes before I cook them then blend again, it's strange what we get used to. I do prefer fresh but as I say didn't have any... But...

Winnie I'm going to do that, it was only a small can, but I thought the carb values were not to bad for the entire tin, I only used about 1/5 of it the rest is in the fridge..

Hi Chook It certainly is a learning curve :) thanks for the water tip, will try that

well, I needed something different tonight, something that said "how much garlic?" So because I didn't get any almond flour today I made my cauliflower pizza. So made the sauce, onions, garlic, a bit more garlic and slightly more garlic... And a small tin of chopped tomatoes. Ok when I first...

If your on depokote, the average weight gain for this med is between 6-12 stone... You want to google it, try googling your meds to see what others have to say about it :) it will give you information when you talk to your docs

Nessa, I'm not at home at the moment, and can never remember what my meds are I'm on so much, I will post again, when I've got them in front of me, I just wanted you to know I'm not ignoring or avoiding you... It's got a weird name. Please bear with me Xx

nessa1970 If your meds are for depression or moods ask them for a review, tell them that your having problems with weight gain and ask to be swapped to different ones... Honestly there are others out there, and if you can swap them now you might just stop the problem developing more. They will...
