Hi Blondage, when I had hot sweats from the menopause I used to fill up a hot water bottle with cold water and then put it in the freezer to get colder and then I would take it to bed with me. It meant the difference between sleeping and not sleeping!, best of luck x

Hi Defren do you happen to know where to buy this particular make of unsweetened cocoa powder?, thanks

Cosy, I have a set of NUTRISCALES from Lloyds chemists around £15 two years ago and I find them invaluable. Thya weigh all foods in either lbs or grams and give the amount of calories, fats, saturated fats, protein, sodium and CARBS. So all I need to do is weigh my food and type in the...

Sorry IanD, I wish I could attend but I live in Manchester but I wish you the best of luck although I am sure that you won't need it. Please let us know how it all goes x

Yes Yoda, I feel that you are eating too many carbs at lunch time, try salad with some protein as dawnmc suggested. I personally cannot eat any bread, potatoes, rice, pasta or crisps as they send my blood glucose really high. Have a look at the recipes in the low carb section section for more...

Hi Cosy, don't panic, help is here in this forum. Take on board all the advice from above and take alook in the LOW CARB THREADS of this forum, especially VIV'S MODIFIED ATKINS DIET and LOW CARB DIET - A GUIDE FOR NEWBIES, the relevant information is all there. See also the section on low carb...

Hi Disneyfan, I completely agree with everything that Grazer has written. I am still being told to increase my carb intake by the Practice Nurse who is in charge of diabetics and every time I see her I tell that that I low carb and that her information is wrong - so we agree to disagree !! but...

Hi Riodad, I am one of those people who jusst love bread and was basically brought up to eat it as a "filler" but now I am type 2 diabetic I find that I cannot eat any supermarket bread as when I test afterwards my blood glucose rises significantly, even Burger Soya and Linseed does this to me...

Dear WhitbyJet, many thanks for letting me know how to copy and paste. I can do it now!, I used to write out each recipe individually so this is much better and I will definately be trying your lemon cookies, thanks again, Debra x

Hi again Whitbyjet, I am definately going to try the recipes you have translated so far but now when I try to access the site I ger HTTP Forbidden, so can you perhaps post it again, or it may be my computer, thanks, Debra

Thanks Whitbyjet but haven't a clue how to do that so will have to write everything out as usual. Yes I do have a recipe folder and so I thought that it would be much easier to print out the recipes but not computer savvy enough. By the way can I buy low carb lasagne sheets from most...

Hi it's me again. My question this time is not about recipes but rather how to print a desired recipe out without having to print them all out. Can anyone tell me please, thanks, Debra x

Many thanks WhitbyJet, hope you are feeling better. Yes many of the recipes look very interesting, is there any way we can get a link in English? as I can't really tell any of the ingredients in German, thanks, Debra x

I bought Blood Sugar 101, What they don't tell you about DIABETES by Jenny Ruhl, bought it from Amazon around £5-6. Explains everything about diabetes in simple terms, it's my bible. It goes from normal blood sugar, how to lower blood sugar, making diet work, drugs, insulin, exercise, what you...

Hi Swimmer2, just to let you know that I love bread and do dreadfully miss it, but even if I eat only 1 slice of Burgen bread my B/G rises considerably but then I am on diet and exercise only and not insulin but just a thought!, Debra x

Dear Sirzy, many thanks for this, I will try it, Debra x

Hi to Everyone again, I re-started the Simvastatin last week but I went back to my Surgery today and saw a different Doctor, who was very nice and sympathetic. She said that she didn't doubt for a minute that it was the Simvastatin that has been causing my hair loss and that I was to stop it...
