Thanks, and pain free? How can it be, you still have to take blood, unless you don't, I'm going to have a look. What's got me is reading this forum, getting a device and testing strips on prescription seems to be lottery. I was handed one straight away, yet others have buy their own. I. Fact I...

Hi Prem51 Your message just about sums up where I am at the moment. To be able to get my ruptured appendix out, they gave me a sedative and gas and air before they could get a needle into me. I was literally climbing off the operating table trying to get out. I also was rushed into hospital...

There are other syrups out there, I think Jordan's do one called skinny syrups, but I haven't found them yet, but the Waldren farms one has really kept me on track. I've also tried their no cal, no sugar no carb jams, the raspberry ones really nice, it's a sort of jelly like texture, excellent...

Hi thanks for this... I really haven't used the good old courgette as much as I should, it sounds really nice with cheese. I borrowed a friends veg spiraller and have made courgette spaghetti, it's strange, but only made it the once because I made my usual tomato sauce to go on top of it...

Hi thanks for diet doctor link I will check that out in a little while. I truely thought my diet was pretty healthy and well rounded before this happened, very rarely had take away a or ore produced good, and ate a variety of fruit and veg. Oh how very wrong I was :) I'm in the process of...

Hi, I don't know if I'm going to be any help here, but I will try. Your hubys doctor sounds a big like mine, he's started to give you alternatives to start you off. I was diagnosed three weeks ago. God it feels like a life time, but I'm living through what I can only describe as a personal...

I truely wish I had found it three weeks ago, it would have made my life easier, and actually talking to real people about things could have helped. But I'm here now :)

If you want a rice alternative cauliflower rice is great. To make it I blitz the flowers in food processor until they look like rice, then cook it in the microwave... Just stick it in a bowl and cook it for 2-3 mins, you don't need water and I haven't covered mine... It's really nice... Also if...

Just want to say thank you so far, what you all have said makes interesting reading

I really I really hope so, but to be honest, I think the increase is a result in the massive changes of our western diet. What terrifies me is the added sugar to everything, but especially the stuff aimed at kids. It's In everything and in huge amounts. I just think our bodies are not...

Have you tried quark? I hadn't heard about it until a week ago... It's a soft cheese like philli... It's slightly thinner, and tescos have cooking cheese on the label. I've used it with stir fry and it works really well, I've had it on pancakes... And like I say the syrups and sweetener makes...

Hi, I'm praying, that if I can get on top of this then it might put off the need for insulin, the docs said that in another couple of weeks they will run some blood tests to see if it's my pancreas packing up, or if I've just become insulin resistant... Until that time I'm sticking with the...

Ooo to the courgette and egg, sound nice and I wouldn't have thought about putting them together. The syrups OMG... They are amazing, they have really killed my sugar cravings dead, I use the chocolate and the caramel on in quark and it's like fromage frais. They are made my a company called...

Ooo ok will do that, Google is do my friend these days

I'm really really bad with needles, I don't even have my ears pierced.... I have talked to a couple of friends that inject, and both say it's not as bad these days as it was and they think testing actually hurts more.... Still don't believe them

I am not on insulin, yet. Doctor started me on metformin two weeks ago. I was given time to get my levels down, but the doctor also knows that even if prescribed I wouldn't inject insulin, so it's going to have to be a tight reign on my diet, and more Excersise. That's why he was willing to...

Haha you sound like my sister :) she swears by the stuff... But it's really nice in cottage cheese

Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 three weeks ago, I had blood tests done for an entirely different matter and I had a phone call from the out of hours doctor at 10pm the same night. I had no idea there was an out of hours doctor until this time. They said that they were checking up on me because my...
