Thank you - yes: that is sensible and I will aim to have all my bases covered before going away. I think it may be different exercising in the cold - have you experienced that at all? Thanks Em

Thank you - that is really helpful for loads of holidays!! I intend to copy it straight into an email to them!! Em

Hi, if all goes to plan, then I am in the very lucky position of skiing in Canada (Banff) in April 2022 for a fortnight. I'm Lada 1.5 but its early days so I mostly eat very low carb and avoid taking insulin - although I can take if needed. I don't have a basal - just use as and when...

Celeriac chips are delicious too- chop as usual, add a bit of olive oil and bake till nicely browned! Also, quick quiche....line tin with baking paper, add grated cheese, beaten eggs and anything else you fancy that's low carb (if bacon/lardons etc then cook up first so crispy). I like adding...

That is interesting to hear Japes - I am going to consider activity levels - and count in a bit more relaxation as I've felt a little bit pushed to be immediately active after eating ...I've had fun dancing in the kitchen whilst clearing up, but some evenings it has felt a bit much!

Thank you Dani :) That is really helpful. Yes, I've noticed that the amount of activity I do makes a bigger difference than I would have thought - but silly as this might sound, I've not thought of upping or lowering insulin - I've just been trying to be active after injecting then...

Hi all, I hope everyone is safe and well. Can anyone advise please on the following: I have recently begun to use insulin by injecting prior to eating a meal with any more than very low carbs. Some meals I'm continuing to just low carb and I don't take a basal injection as my sugars are ok...

Thank you for replies :-)

Hi, I know this can't be absolutely answered.....but what are peoples thoughts? Can I overindulge on the low carb high fat diet (within reason) for a special meal - type 1.5 Thank you!

Max68, I think that is an excellent letter which sets out the craziness of the guidelines for vulnerable staff and children. If you don't mind, please can I use the template to send to my MP too? Also, there is this petition, which I got from the other Diabetes website. Please can as many...

Hi, there are some low carb beers about. I was liking Michelob Ultra ....but think they've changed the recipe a bit and haven't like the last lot quite as much. Will have a nice time making my way through trying others now..... Good Luck - it's hard to do everything at once.

Yes - totally agree. This could be a practical means of safeguarding the vulnerable, especially over the coming autumn and winter when the virus may surge. Remote teaching works brilliantly. I've been teaching from home via Zoom since lockdown and my pupils have made better academic progress...

hi jwglass Firstly, you are definitely in the right place here on the website. I am so grateful to have landed here - every response I have had (to lots of questions) has been expert, measured, sensible and supportive. Your post struck a note with me as regards shock at diagnosis of...

You will need a food blender...... 1 medium sized banana plus 1- 2 strawberries (weigh total fruit) equivalent weight (or just a little less) of home made nut butter (use mix of almonds, brazils, walnuts, pecans - blitz in blender till sticky) 1/3 teaspoon of baking powder 1 tablespoon of...

Hi all and thank you to everyone on this website :) for your knowledge and advice. I just got my hb1ac result and it is 37. I'm delighted. I've been diagnosed as Type 1.5 so I don't expect to be able to use diet control forever but for now I'm eating LCHF. Initially it caused a rise in...

Hi, have a look at this from this morning's Guardian. Teachers can legally refuse to return over health risk, says union

I'm also a teacher and having spoken to my union I was given the clear message that all employers have a duty of care towards employees under health and safety regulations. This means that because diabetics (any type) have been indicated as having a vulnerability the school have to put a risk...
