Morning everyone. Can you please tell me what I should avoid and what I can eat lots of - am really looking forward to going out :D (not been out in ages) and dont want to spoil my brother in laws birthday by getting a headache and falling asleep :(

I am currently taking Ramipril and so far have had no side effects but can't help you with the other one sorry. Someone with more knowledge should come along and let you know :)

Welcome to the forum. I use Tesco Table sweeteners, they are very reasonable 1.40 for 1200 and taste very much like sugar :) Sounds like you are doing really well already :D

No worries. Was a good read, I was tempted to jump in the car :lol: Have phoned the DN and have to phone after 2 to see if she will start my medication so fingers crossed. I maybe able to stay awake for awhile then :D

Ooh experiment - can I play lol

Sounds fab, hope it works out for you :)

Will have a look for the book and try some of the recipes. Your treat sounds delicious - I want it now :)

You have made me smile and I am grateful to all who have posted. I am trying my best but after meals I get terrible headaches and then fall asleep - not good when I have two lovely children to look after. Will work my way through and speak to DN tomorrow as diet doesn't seem to be working even...

Thank you, I will try and keep to the low carbs but everytime I look in the cupboard I see loads of stuff I want to eat - hopefully will get used to it soon. Will let you know :lol:

It sounds quite good to me but don't take my word for it. I have just been diagnosed so am new and this and the doc won't give me a meter!!! Welcome and someone with more experience should be along shortly :D

I bought some Green and Blacks 85% chocolate from Tesco. It was delicious and after a few chunks my craving was satisfied. Dont bother with diabetic stuff as high in carbs. Hope this helps :lol:

Sorry you are having a bad time with your Meds. I use Boots - about 4 miles from where I live. I would highly recommend this as there is no chance you will be without meds (4 weekly service). If they don't have it in stock (usually my morphine), they get it for the same afternoon. Sounds like...

Thank you are. Am feeling a bit better today. Have to be careful off having too much fat as have also got high bp and high cholesterol. Will try keeping to low carb over weekend and if it doesn't seem to work will speak to DN. Thanks again, it's nice to know that someone cares (even if you don't...

Thank you Nigel, had carrots and sweetcorn which I believe has extra sugar so was careful not to have too much, also cut the fat of my pork steak which I normally eat and enjoy. Just can't seem to figure out what to eat and not, try to go for healthy and low carb etc but doesnt seem to be...

Not sure why, have had a decent (hopefully low sugar/carb meal for lunch - veggie dinner only small amount of potato and gravy) - still hungry tho. Not sure what to have and to be honest cant be bothered - dont know what to have and just want biscuits and choccys. Don't blame you if you don't...

Thank you bowell, forgot to mention that :(

Welcome. Not really sure I can help but I am also starving all the time but am t2. Have been recommended to reduced carbs and sugar but not sure in your case. I now have a selection of seeds and nuts to use (low salt as got high cholesterol). Hope someone with more experience will come along...

I was and am 37 at diagnosis - no family history (that I know of was adopted) but also have high bp and cholesterol - even though kept an eye on saturated fat (WW diet) and had very little sugar!!! As you can imagine was extremely shocked :shock:

I must admit, I go to the fridge looking for sweet stuff and then see cheese and think mmmm will have some. Doesnt take much if you get the stronger one (a certain shop T has some on offer and its not too strong) if you mix it with onion its a snack that satisfies you longer :D

Work cannot get rid of you. I had an op on my ulnar nerve and they had to keep my post open. Even after I got back to work and then had an accident which resulted in herniated and torn disc they still had to keep it for me so try not to worry too much. Occi Health were fab even though after my...
