sorry for laughing so hard at that LittleSue ... thanks for the smiles :)

ooooooooooooooooh that is GREAT to know ... as I find the delivery charges of most online retailers just ludicrous ... thanks babe! xx

except that sour cream dip is on my list of "eat everyday" nutrients ;) hahaha liked it! xxx

Yep, the type of diabetes would've helped greatly ... and if I'd done it in two separate polls (one for insulin users and one for non-insulin users) and given two choices only (are you CARB aware or do you eat carbs and not care, eg, haha) then we woul've even fitted most of the main blood types...

To be fair, guv, it's a fair cop - the "study" wouldn't stand up in butter, let alone court, just something I was interested in ... if it was going to be serious, then I'd probably need to quantify diabetic type, carbs by grammes, last hba1c as a ~"control" as well as making available all...

I did offer to do a body swap but unfortunately, nobody was available to do the procedure. It is the single worst feeling to see your kid in that kind of pain ... so glad it's (touch wood) finally done with now! thank you xxx

if it were possible to do a Bet Lynch impression online I would ... come to think of it, I have some cheetah print leggings upstairs ;) just off to grab a fab and shout from a doorway ...

Being as several of us refer to metformin as metfartin, you will find that you're not alone!!! I get swollen abdomen if I abuse carbs, but whether that has anything to do with metfartin is questionable ;) All the best and welcome, Je mxox

BASIC ANALYSIS The results would seem to show that more people on this site use "moderate" carb diets rather than low or high. Low carbers account for 28% of respondents, moderate carbers 62% and high carbers for just 10% of the total. B types are evenly spread over their dietary choices...

Welcome to the jungle, sorry forum (GnR fan sorry!) KEEP AT IT! When I first went low carb, I stuck to it like glue and for a month, nothing - I was devastated as I'd read here all wonderful things about weight loss (as well as the tight blood sugar control) and it seemed so unfair. After one...

Diabetes, thyroid and depression, in my humble, non-trained, non-scientific mind are intrinsically linked ... I've suffered depression for many years on and off and at the beginning of 2008 was fiagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for which I remain on medication, however, since...

I think you've had all your questions answered I just wanted to welcome you and say that many of us have had that "shock" moment and it can be horrible BUT this forum is brilliant for sharing information and experience and you've taken a great first step in hooking yourself up here ... all the...

Last year I had endless bouts of thrush and cystitus, and I mean ENDLESS .. basically I'd be crunched up over the loo on a weekly basis ... and since being diagnosed diabetic and taking to low carb route, I have not had ONE single infection (touch wood!) /// I feel that high blood sugars can...

welcome to the forum ...stick around, the info will surely help and begin to make sense as you take each info with the results people achieve from it ... you've found the best place on the net to get info and support :) best, J/x

The last doctor I went to see seemed to think that testing twice a week at random times was sufficient diabetic control ... I usually test first thing in the morning (to give me an idea of how to eat for the day "eat to your meter") if lower than 5 I can have slightly more carbs, if over 7 I...

the makers of my meter allow a 20% variation on tests ... that's HUGE! if my BG is something I really don't expect then I retest, usually using same finger but new drop of blood, a gentle squeeze will usually draw blood not clotting agents ... some variation WILL occur in the same drop of...

oh that was good ... I can relate to many of those pointers ... I forget that some people are actually a bit afraid of blood and often do my BG test on the table and watch people turn white *oooops* J/x

Welcome, I'm sure you'll find lots of knowledge help and information here as well as the vital support ... lots of smart people, both long term diabetics and newbies, all types and insulin and pump users too ... we have great people all willing to give time to share in their experiences :) so...

Did I fall or was I pushed? Off the wagon ... that is? Nope I leapt like a flying squirrel into a VAT of wine ... surfing from roast potato to Toberline island and indulged fully in a week long self-loathing-style binge ... Have added 5 lbs *oooops* I wasn;t going to admit that, but honesty...

d'you know what ? It's been SOOOO long since I had bread I was stood there scratching my brains trying to think what to have ... I love cheese on toast so that was a good place to start /// tomorrow I will have an almond butter sarnie :) glad you're finding the forum useful ... it's helpe me...
