Hello Mother Bear. :D I see you have been hit with the same advice I was originally given! :roll: :evil: You will obviously note that the advice on here does not coincide with that which you have been given as it is based on the experience of those who have diabetes and are living with it...

Hi Sara, :) I think that it is very likely to affect your numbers. :roll: A pain in every way! :roll: Back to the numbers, perhaps you should try something other than the cheese and cracker before bed or even give the cracker a miss and just stick to a small piece of cheese; testing to see...

Hi Kathryn and welcome to the forum. :D I would think that it is highly likely that your father is suffering as he is because of his diet. Unfortunately the meds do not do everything for you when you have diabetes, they are only an assistant to a good diet. Your father needs to want to sort it...

Hello Sara. :) I know it can be a real pain but are you actually counting the carbs in your diet? It is just a thought as we often don't realise just how many carbs can be hidden in the most innocent looking foods. :roll: :) I find the Collins gem Carb Counter book to be very useful to keep...

Hi alanb and welcome to the forum. :) How are you feeling? And did you by any remote chance get a meter and testing strips? :roll: :)

Cooking from scratch certainly helps as you know exactly what is in your food. You may find that a Collins gem Carb Counter book (£3.99) or similar book will help you to work out the best foods. I find that most roots shoot my BG levels up and I read somewhere that above the ground veggies...

I'm with you all the way there! Ask questions as you need - there is usually someone on here ready to help. :D

Hello Jason :) As has already been said go with an open mind as you can always learn something. At the end of the day you will need to test and see if what you are advised to do works for you and your body, self testing is the only way to know for sure. We will be interested to hear how it...

Then you have to make your mind up that they are NOT YOURS! Ignore them! :roll:

You can see where I am from :) - where are you from :?:

Hello MotherBear and welcome. :) It sounds as if you have been given meter and testing strips and are self testing so that is brilliant! :D Have you noticed what sends your BG levels upwards? It may help you to keep a food diary and note against the meals eaten the test results before eating...

Hello scottyandrew and welcome to the forum. :)

Hello again HappyGirl :) As we have said you are the one who has to take control. You say that you can't walk past the shop without buying so I suggest to you that you pack yourself a healthy snack and take no money with you. No money - no purchase! :)

Re: Sharps Disposal - Help Needed I think that there should be some provision made for disposing of what is clearly hazardous waste. :shock: I got my sharps box from the hospital clinic and anticipate/hope that they will exchange it when necessary. :roll: Just a thought, I wonder if you...

Hi Nigel :) Duck eggs are larger, richer and more filling. Do try them, they are delicious! :D

You would have to sow them exceptionally early to get a crop of these in this country as well as very favourable weather conditions - which is not going to happen! :roll: They are still out of season so will be expensive and this means that as not many people will buy them at the price they...

All pulses send my levels through the roof. :cry: :( :roll:
