Dear Paul I was terrified at first too but not now, thanks to the lovely people on here. I also recommend dietdoctor for recipes. Agree, I learned so much more good stuff on here than from my doctor too!

Welcome! One nice thing I found was some roast chicken chunks and a pot of guacamole. I dipped the chunks in the guacamole, mmmm was tasty. I usually make a quick salad and boil some eggs before I go out for the day now and put them on a plastic box with some mayo. I always carry babybels and...

I found this interesting: A scientific review: the role of chromium in insulin resistance. Diabetes Educ. 2004;Suppl:2-14. Abstract Chromium is an essential mineral that appears to have a beneficial role in the regulation of insulin action and its effects on carbohydrate, protein and lipid...

Hi there, I wondered if anyone supplements with chromium and if anyone has been helped by it? Supposedly helps blood glucose control. A friend just bought me some so I thought I'd try it.

It really does get better. I don't know what I'd have done without the support of folks on this forum. You're doing well being so proactive xx

I bought a set of kitchen scales for the first time in my life today, so I could weigh and visualise what a certain amount of 'allowed' veg looks like.I'm able to count the carbs from this measurement, rather than just guessing, as I could be way out. I've got a notebook and a calculator next to...

Sending you a hug. Btw those quiches @HSSS suggests are delish and hardly take any time to make.

Hi @Benmyers I am newly diagnosed T2 and had the exact same thing with my eyes. It scared me a lot! They are getting back to normal now after 4 weeks, so as others have said, don't worry. Welcome to this forum where loads of lovely people are on hand to support you!

Hi Bonnie, Hope you're doing ok today. Here's some info I found about the Dawn Phenomenon: https://blog.virtahealth.com/dawn-phenomenon/ Hope it helps! xx

Hello there, I'm type 2 and very new to this but I just wanted to say there are so many people on this forum who will help you. It has been a real life saver to me. I'm so sorry about your bro, but you'll get loads of support on here. Sending you a big hug xx

Sending you a big hug xxx

Welcome to the forums! I had the same experience as you, when I was diagnosed one month ago as T2, I found out that the docs knew I was pre diabetic in March 2015, but nobody told me! Apparently I had 'fallen through the cracks of their computer system.' But at least we know now, and can do...

Hi Bonnie and welcome to the forum. First, take a deep breath. You are in the right place. I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago and my Hbaic was 82, other peoples were even higher at first. Loads of people on here have reversed their diabetes and are very generous with their advice. I was utterly...

Welcome Tina, you have just taken a massive step in the right direction by joining this forum. Folks here are so helpful and kind. I like to bake a crustless quiche if I'm going somewhere that only has junky food. Eat some with some salad bits on the side, yum! So many people on here have their...
