It’s is extremely cheaper, I am saving loads of money, I follow dr Bernstein’s approach so I’m lchp. Lchf for my skinny self seems mental and sounds very unnatural. I don’t buy anything like I used to, yes bread and pasta are cheaper but your still adding meat/protein sources. I eat out a lot...

Wowzaaasss!!! I never knew they where charging that much for the cbd oil. Some of that is extortionate, is the world really this bad. I think as a diabetic I shouldn’t be surprised giving the vast profits the massive pharmaceuticals make off us being diabetic. What a sad world, a plant...

Boots for £35 if you speak nicely enough and get all your prescriptions from them.

Even more uses for this wonderful plant, when will the U.K. catch up with the states. Medicinal cannabis has many benefits. I’ve been reading studies from Israel for years showing that cannabis in the right forms can be very effective in aiding diabetes. Few off the top of my head, Increased...

I’ve had the very same thoughts regarding war torn countries when seeing people with absolutely nothing. Do they even know they are diabetic? I bet most don’t even get check ups like we do. Why I’m very careful and fully appreciate my medicines when ordering them and never try to waste anything...

Thanks a lot, yeah I can’t see it being much different either. Just thought I would as. thanks a lot. Just request to join. Awesome stuff!!!

Cheers @helensaramay this does help a great deal, I’m seeing a few are using the upper arm just like the libre, I’m a bit cautious of putting anything on my slim abdomin as not much to me.

can the rebooting be done using the dexcom iPhone app or do you need the receiver? I can see me getting it and as I haven’t purchased the receiver will find that I can’t extend them using the app. Haha!! Just my luck..

Afternoon all, I hope your all well and have plenty of really dark choco in for Easter.. Just a quick one, thinking about buying the dexcom starter pack with 4 sensors, want to use my phone so not getting receiver. Will I be able to just restart the sensor after 7 days using the iPhone app to...

I’m liking the point your fighting back, too well but diabetic. Your only too well because you care about your diabetes and look after yourself. What a disgrace.

Excellent stuff, let’s hope a few more of us can get them on prescription soon. Where abouts are you from in the U.K. if you don’t mind me asking?

Top of the morning to ya!! Happy saint patricks day. My patron saint. Always a special day in our house. I hope everybody has a lovely weekend. 4.6 for me this morning. Lovely flat line all night according to my libre. :)

That’s awesome that you don’t get bad spikes, I’ve just dug a bit deeper so I’m on a different path to you by the sounds of it. All the best for the future @Munkle :)

To I wasn’t being sarcastic with that comment I was asking if he was aware of him. Yes there are other ways his just makes most sense to me. You don’t have to buy his book either. I learnt all I needed from his first 20 odd YouTube vids and researched the rest myself. The comment about the 20...

The point your missing is we have had and will have these swings in blood sugars most of our lives not just the 10 years my dad did. He had developed insulin resistance after about a year of being back on it. He couldn’t move and exercise the same way we can. As he couldn’t even move his legs...

I’ve been diabetic 6 years less than you’ve been alive, in my 18 odd years with it nearly 19. I’ve heard it all, our diabetes advice is utter non sense. If you eat carbs you need insulin. Non diabetics with slightly raised bg levels develop the same complications. Look back 30 years ago, we...

The carbs that the body doesn’t need in the first place are causing the weight gain it’s not just a side effect of the insulin. They both go cap in hand. On low carb diet we consume just enough carbohydrates to get us the vital vitamins and minerals to keep our bodies in optimum health. That’s...

It’s not even really about loosing weight, it just so happens that the approach dr Bernstein teaches really does cause people to shed their excess weight as well as following what is a natural way of eating. It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle. The reason for low carb high protein is so handy to...

Insulin is a growth hormone that builds fat, when excess glucose is in the body and more insulin is added to deal with it what do you get? In your instance you have youth on your side and your lifting weights so training hard at the same time. You also sound like you have a speedy metabolism...

If your eating 200g carbs and having 20 units of novorapid then your on pretty much the same ratio as most including myself when I was using novorapid to cover carb heavy meals Almost all our vitamins and minerals come from carbs, there’s just certain ones that some diabetics are best to avoid...
