Latest batch of muffins used oats, almonds and a small amount of flour amongst other things. I added a banana and cinnamon for flavour and although texture was good the flavour was undetectable. Do I just need to add twice as much banana and cinnamon or are the combination of dry ingredients...

Slightly off topic but if I add oats to my muffin mix instead of half the almond then they taste better but still have no effect on my post 2hr BG test as long as I use Stevia instead of sugar of course. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Well done carry on with this and hopefully your results will stay normal for years to come :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ok I'll give it a go but last batch I added a tablespoon of stevia and I thought they needed to be sweeter and I added cocoa and some very dark chocolate chips and to be honest they were really bitter. I don't even know if I like almonds so maybe I will experiment with half almond and half...

So I've had a couple of unsuccessful attempts at making muffins. Once I find a recipe I usually have to convert cups to grams and various different sweeteners to equivalent amount of Stevia (as i have a huge jar). I bought loads of almonds but to be honest I've not been impressed with the...

Dottyjan the drug is a tablet called Lisinopril which is an ACE inhibitor believed to improve kidney function. To be honest though I've done without these for years and kidney function is stable, but GP thought they'd be worth a try. However I've recently had symptoms of Raynards in my hands...

I take 15 different medications a day and as my current routine doesn't seem to have done me any harm and I've never been given specific instructions, then I'll just carry on. Who knows what sort of a mess I'll get into if i try to change now after so many years :-) Sent from the Diabetes...

Feel sick just thinking about it. Unless you mean six of the mini ones i dread to think of the size of the insulin dose you needed to cover that. Must admit that I do like cream eggs but the amount of insulin needed is not worth it unless I really NEED to have one. Sent from the Diabetes...

No worries, I'm type 1.5 LADA just to be awkward LOL :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I shall carry on taking mine as normal as my levels are checked regularly so my dose is obviously correct for my regime. What if I took note if the tea and coffee thing now after all these years and everything went off? I'm sure if it was that much of a problem they would print it on the...

Hi Dottyjan hope you got on ok yesterday at clinic. I have had a couple of back and shoulder massages recently and although the pain was horrendous and the bruises very impressive I do think there has been some improvement. However I have also reverted back to my "old faithful"...

Thank you, I couldn't find it in Tesco but had I'd known it was called Total Sweet - doh! I'll pop in again today, I feel like a baking session :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I always take my Metformin AFTER lunch and insulin AFTER my evening meal. This avoid your type of incident when for some reason you don't eat or don't eat enough after taking medication Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Luckily I've never missed an appointment. I write it on my wall calendar and put it in my phone diary so I can see the appointment the day before. My dentist and chiropractor send text reminders but GP surgery not offering this service although the pharmacy will inform you if you have a...

I think you should be pleased it was only 7.2. If I ate anything on a white baguette I'd be at least double that three hours later. Don't be too hard on yourself :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Reading these posts helps me believe I'm not alone. I'm not going to bore you with the details but I've been collecting 'medical conditions' since I was 3 years old. I'm now in my 50th year and wondering how much more I can take but there is always someone worse and hopefully tomorrow will be...

You could always knit 9 inch squares and make them into blankets for your local hospice. I've started doing this only recently and it keeps my mind off eating while I'm watching TV. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Fantastic well done, I'd have probably used the hypo as an excuse to have a VERY SMALL piece Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Sorry to hear you're off to a bad start today but tell yourself things can only get better. If you can have a walk this morning it may help. :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
