WOW! What a journey you have been through this year and how wonderful that you have improved so quickly, and by so much! Hats off to you girl :)

Hi Sam and welcome to the forum. I am Type 2 so you need to await advise from the many Type 1's on here but please be assured that they are a friendly and very informative bunch!

Yes, losing your mum is totally different from all other losses in life I find. I had been her main carer for a number of years and had to fit my life around her, so of course that produces an added emptiness. I hope to overcome that in time. Thank you for your thoughful reply.

Good Morning all. I'm feeling a little 'detached' after all the events, emotions and outcomes of my mother's funeral yeterday, but also a little relieved that it all went as she'd have wished. I didn't eat at the 'do' afterwards as (a) the food was mainly high carb, and (b) I had absolutely no...

Thank you Ally1. It's been a strange and very surreal day :(

Thank you and ... Yes ... it is a comfort to know that they are back together again xx

Thank you for your kind words DJC3 and Yes my fiance will be driving over this morning, so he will be a wonderful support for me. I won't be posting again today but thank you to all who know what I'm facing today xx

Well my fasting bg was 5.2 at 5am ... which is nice to know as today will be so difficult for me ... my dear mother's funeral :( I will be glad that she will be in Dad's grave with him by 10.15 this morning. As my brother Tony said 'She has kept him waiting a long time' They were so close and...

Yes I have found that same support as you have on here Naimeus! Like yourself I have gone Low Carb over the past couple of months and so far have lost 12lbs in weight! I have to wait until September for next doctors visit/tests but feel quite excited to find my results :)

That seems to be true for me also. Take yesterday. I had two boiled eggs and a slither of cheddar cheese at lunchtime, with about 8 walnuts. I didn't feel the slightest bit hungry at dinnertime, so just had a coffee with cream. I had a small bowl of raspberries and cream at around 7ish, but...

It sounds to me like your husband is purposly burying his head in the sand hoping his 'problem' will just go away! I did the same at first and wasted a year where I could have had better control. Consequently I have now found that I have some damage to my eyesight :( He needs a wake up call...

I find that Sweet Potato Chips are delicous and I can easily have half a dozen or so with my meal :)

WOW and big congratulations! Very impressive after all those years of suffering too. Well done!

Is there any point in doing a course that will try to brainwash you? I would decline the course (politely) for now, saying that you wish to try taking control of your health your own way first!

I have the same problem with small screens Alexandra. I don't have a smartphone or an ipad etc ... just my laptop. :(

Awww a pity I won't be able to access it then. I hope they come up with one to suit my laptop soon!

Wow! That's something I didn't know about. Is it just an app for phones though? I only have a laptop

Fascinating Mr Pot. I have had glaucoma for a number of years and was told that my eyes were 'rugby ball' shaped rather than Football shaped. Then, a week before I discovered that I had Type 2, my eyesight suddenly went perfectly clear for a few days, rather than how it usually is (having to...

I am sorry to hear what a bad time you had. It's good to share these thyings though as we don't feel so alone with it. I am trying my best (and succeeding) with eating properly, but the shock has been overwhelming and I still cannot take it in fully. I shall be lost without her as I saw her...

Thank you Karen. I'm still in shock as Mum was due home on last Bank Holiday Monday and we were all excited :(
