If you have an M licence im pretty sure you do. I understood that all states were pretty much standardized apart from some age requirements for learner drivers

Yep I am in qld. I understand that the medical certificate must be carried in all states. Perhaps you should ring and ask your RTA or whatever it is called in WA.

@Mep we sure do have similar guidelines. I have just renewed my licence for 5 years with Annual medical certificate on. Its supposed to be on your medical certificate that you must carry that you must be over 5.0 prior to driving. Your medical certificate is also supposed to be stamped by the...

Have you read the information @daisy1 posted here on your thread? You need to read it and understand it. Carbs turn to sugars in our bodies. You need to lower your carb intake. There is an awesome program on here about low carbing you can join, that takes you week by week changing your...

My OH has done the same. I have kept a start of jelly beans in the car for emergencies. Got in the car to find them out in the open with about 5 remaining and they were covered in ants. When I asked what had happened the excess was he had skipped breakfast and lunch and was hungry so he ate them...

Yep my OH has joined me. He has worked out he is gluten intolerant by joining me. So has lost the acne and the incredible farts. He still eats way more carbs than me as he eats popcorn nearly every night. If we go out to Club events he eats things like mashed potato and lasagna whilst I make do...

I've done that too. Didn't have many out of date stuff tho. A huge abundance of different types of pasta. Ended up with 3 large boxes full of stuff which were gratefully received by a non diabetic friend.

I've never had an issue. I use aldis moser roch 72%. I melt it over hot water as it tends to spot fibre in the microwave. Add some vanilla extract to it and a little butter. Mix it into the cream. Then best the dickens out of it. Chocolate mousse!!

I never had through with gliclazide unless I binged hugely on carbs. If you are following a low carb diet I doubt very much it will be an issue. I have been on gliclazide for nearly 2 years after not being able to tolerance Metformin. As I am also on insulin mdi's and am now low carbing with...

Yep I've been feeling awfully cold every time I get under 5. I've taken to making sure I have a jumper everything I go out, even if I just leave it in the car. Its annoying to say the least as we have had some gorgeous sunny days of late and I usually run around in a tshirt and shorts most of...

Whats BP?

I melt darl chocolate and stir it into cream...... Chocolate mousse No sugar maple syrup and cream... Yummy add some coconut flakes and a few berries.... Heaven!!! Cocoa and coffee with a bit of sweetener.... Mocha I would think coffee and a bit of sweetener with cream would also work Mushed...

So I am now off gliclazide and dropped my insulin by 2 units. So a bit pleased with a 6.2 this morning

As my gp and Specialist till me they can only advise. No one can force you to do anything. Its your decision whether you choose to take advice or not. We the you take the medication or not. You do your own research and make up your own mind

Hi Cath from another. I don't take Metformin but have up until today taken gliclazide as well as insulin. I've been low carbing for about 13 weeks and in that time lost 5 kgs which has now stopped . I know I am very insulin resistant however have dropped not only my insulin basal dosage but as...

And thats the problem all we have is anecdotal evidence on here. Someone needs to do a research project on those of us who are low carbing and our results. Then and only then might there be a change in diabetes education for a start.

I see my Specialist monthly atm as we try and sort out my insulin and medications. He is fully on board with low carbing as is my GP. Bonus point for me! So today he has taken me off my gliclazide! Lowered my lantus by 2 units so now down to 16 units daily. Wants me to ring him next week to...
