I already do low carb and it's been great for my bs but I miss rice! I love bread and am fine with M&S super seeded (just 1 small slice). Don't miss potatoes at all!

I love cabbage too

Interesting! Thank you

Jackois thank you that's great. I love the taste of cauliflower so I will certainly try that

I haven't tried the naked rice so I'll have a go. I don't think I have heard of the cook and cool method but it sounds very interesting. Incidentally I love courgette "pasta". Thanks for your quick reply.

I love rice but am trying to find a low carb alternative. Any ideas? I'm a lazy cook and saw microwave cauliflower rice on special offer but I wasn't keen as I detected a bitter taste. Apologies if this has already been discussed and I've missed it

Oh God yes I sympathise with this! The one and only person who bugs me is a woman I work with who somehow thinks what I eat concerns her. As a well - controlled type 2, one cake at a charity bake sale or a couple of chocs from someone's birthday box isn't going to make me keel over but I have to...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Paul c the titsup thing made me chuckle! Anyway, seems I'm sorted out, the practice had fixed things, I have my prescription and they've changed my designated chemist to one local to me.

Yes I'll be fine for a few days but I don't know when I'll be back on my feet again after Wednesday. I'll just have to see if I can get someone to collect my meds

Yes I will, thanks

Thanks, I might do that. I'm considering explaining all this when I'm at the hospital on Wednesday to see if the doctor can prescribe me some.

I requested my repeat prescription on Friday 3rd June to give the surgery plenty of time to process it etc. and went to collect it from the pharmacy last Friday (10th) only to be told it hadn't been sent. Then I went to the surgery to be told it had indeed been sent to Boots the previous Monday...

Hi Rog I've had one of these on twice due to my white coat syndrome causing my BP to go haywire at the Dr's. My advice- try to ignore it as much as possible (not easy! ) but certainly don't keep doing your own testing at the same time. Doing this just gets you worked up and therefore your BP...

I had mine a month ago. Sore arm but not bad, but the day after I felt a bit fluey. This disappeared and about 3 days later I started feeling like I was fighting off a bug. I'm still tired and have a lot of catarrh and feel generally a bit miserable- most unlike me. I feel just like I'm getting...

I've been doing the LCHF for about 18 months. My total cholesterol raised slightly to 4.2 BUT that was due to a raise in "good" (HDL) and the "bad"(LDL) and tricglycerides both dropped.

Although the flu jab contains weakened virus or proteins with the virus particles removed, you can't catch flu from it. The jab fools the immune system into thinking it's been invaded in order for it to make antibodies against flu which will be ready to act if you come into contact with the...

I waited 9 years for mine :) To be fair though, I don't think they'd been invented when I was diagnosed

Jim I had a similar experience on a Diabetes Expert course. I was told by the nurse that I should be eating 230g carbs a day. I told her I eat low carb and she was very disapproving! When I told her my last Hb was 42 she was stunned. One lady there is T2 and on insulin. She said she regularly...

hba1c down from 66 in January to........ wait for it....... 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost fell over with shock. I think I can say LCHF works for me!
