well i have quite a few but ultimately they all lead to the same thing - be less ill this year, by way of less carbs, more exercise ,weight losss,lower levels,better hba1c :mrgreen:

I am so happy I am not the only one, but i fell off the said wagon in spectacular fashion! Feel shocking , not one day in the break below 13 and usually waking up at 17/18.... :oops: why the hell did i do that to myself? I suppose almost having a nervous breakdown didn't help, but hey...

Fingers crossed for you then gillyh :mrgreen: I had much more energy, flagging a bit now lol...prob due to the lack of sleep more than anything though! I have been reading the nuts issue with interest, may try that too..will try anything once!!

Thanks for your reply gillyh It seems to be a common theme now that i have reread the thread. I would hate to think that medicating is the answer to everything! Hope you get the transfer nearer to home, taking travelling time off your day should be a great help. On a more positive note, I went...

Hi everyone..hope you don't mind me joining late Haven't been on for ages as I have been so down, had my annual review yesterday. HBA1C 7.6..all else seems ok. Told the doc I feel like i am existing not living as i am so tired all the time. I finish work and half 3 and that is my day over, I...

Hi I would advise against the diabetic range of chocs, I only ate 3 and had an adverse reaction :oops: !! They made me high too which I thought was odd as they said on the packet to ignore the polyols and just count net carbs..evidently not in my case I usually have a sugar free jelly with a...

Hi All I was diagnosed age 21...6 months after giving birth Karen

Hi Laura I am a newbie to low carbing - just eight days in. The first 5 days were hard, i woke up with a headache every day , i thought it was a migraine so i took migraine relief but when i woke up 3 days on a row with it i assumed it was because i was close to hypo each time -which my poor...

The only time I have previously had a hot drink without sweetener is when i order a latte in Starbucks, wierdly it seems sweet enough then

ok sue will give it a shot, i was thinking more of my daily coffee but i could do without at a push :)

I haven't heard of sweetex, will have a look for some. I did buy a bottle of agave syrup but i havent tried it yet - it's been in the cupboard for 6 months! :mrgreen: thanks sue, will have a look in holland & barret

i'm proud of myself so far..and was gutted when i got a high reading this am, made me mentally slap myself ..I wonder why I let myself be in the teens for 7 years and just inject upto ten times a day..for a woman who considers herself intelligent that makes me sound pretty darn stupid! Have you...

Thankyou for all your suggestions - very helpful as ever. Although I don't class myself as a particularly fussy eater I hate aubergines and cauliflower etc ..sorry! This is what I have been doing for the past 8 days, which is 100% improvement to my previous life as a carbaholic Breakfast 10...

Thanks Hanadr I was thinking of greek yoghurt with a small amout of strawberries maybe a couple of times a week I was also thinking of ordering the low carb bread from the websites i've found too I will have a gander round aldi :D Karen

Thanks Sue I did reduce my morning isulin from 16 to 8 and didn't go over 7 after weetabix - thats why I thought I was doing well. :roll: I will reduce to one weetabix immediately . Any other breakfast ideas other than bacon & eggs (I have this for lunch) Back to the original subject...oh...

Oooh is it? My bad, I was so impressed with not going high after eating it too. I need a bit of energy in the morning and can't face a fried breakfast at 7am!! :cry:

Hya Sue Well every day for the last 8 days I have started the day the same, having my carbs in the morning (2 x weetabix with skimmed milk and a touch of splenda) and have never gone above 7. Haven't eaten anything else this am apart from the 2 humbugs! Strange Wondering if the atkins choc bar...

Hi everyone I have been low carbing successfully for just over a week. Going to elaborate on that later once I feel more confident about my longevity. I bought some thorntons diabetic humbugs yesterday , plus an atkins advantage bar. Haven't touched the latter yet but i had two humbugs today...

Class drive from Lewis - on inters all the way..guess Kimi and Alfonso are just not as good in the wet :mrgreen:

Thankyou Karen I'm hoping thats the case , I've never had any problems with my heart but one of the factors that killed my little sister was heart disease. Feels so wierd typing about that, I don't even speak about it to be honest. Fingers crossed anyhow, thanks again Karen x
