    Well as husband is shellfish allergic and I’m very allergic to lobster and its family bit of an awkward area and being low carb. I do not inject. It was more to do with heat.

    Fed up with health centre

    You need a monitor with lancets and testing stripS to monitor yourself. I’d ask and don’t take no for an answer! Many GP surgeries don’t give kits to type 2’s but this is not what the diabetic associations advocate. They might try and fob you off with you can go buy one, but I’d think about how...

    I have had Atrial Fibrillation mis-diagnosed as Supra Ventricular Tachicardia for years! I was properly diagnosed last yr by a Professor as he did an ablation and told the consultant who diagnosed me. More recently I‘ve found that I have Haemochromatosis a genetic blood disorder that effects the...

    I am thinking the rise in my glucose levels in Grenada was exacerbated by the heat! I did swim about twice a day but it was a beach holiday and you could do water based activities but after last time out snorkelling I wouldn’t go with them again, long story causing me fright and I’m a good...

    Can you really prevent type 2 diabetes?

    I was putting on weight hand over fist on heart medications not amount of cutting down made any difference, even family were telling me you’re not eat enough. Then became diabetic virtually over night losing weight hand over fist without a reason other than it must have been the ’dire Betes’!

    Can you really prevent type 2 diabetes?

    I’ve had SO many usually none diabetics say ‘Oh you can reverse it with that diet Dr So & So has devised’ ‍♀️ Well I haven’t even being strict quite low carb. I find it very disheartening.

    Food combining?

    No chips aren’t better than boiled:( Steamed or boiled is better but…. Still carby. Apparently frozen mashed potatoes can be better. I read a lot of things and it depends on different peoples reactions. I limit my chip consumption to about 6 I had fish n chips last night which I can remove most...

    Gram Flour

    Alternative flours? Almond, coconut etc can try a combination with wheat flours.

    Veggie low-carb help, please?

    I was told to forget counting calories and fat! You as a veggie really need fats for energy. I am Low Carb High Protein its enough to concerns about. The Greek yogurt I buy is 10% fat but if I could get a bit higher fat % I would. You have to have ‘flavour’ eating is meant to be enjoyable...

    Veggie low-carb help, please?

    You would benefit from a good dietician/nutritionalist. I got an appointment with a nutritionalist from Megan Rossi website https://www.theguthealthdoctor.com/dr-megan-rossi I went Low Carb High Protein, I’m not veggie so eat normal diet as such. I also bought some books Carbs & Cals, Carb &...

    I’d definitely phone them, I presume you’ve had blood tests beforehand that could be out of date for a future appointment.

    Can you really prevent type 2 diabetes?

    I don’t like ‘reverse’ they should use Remission. My diagnosis was very dramatic and sudden, 999 and in hospital a week, I’d NO signals what so ever. I went Low Carb lowered the HbA1C dramatically from 138 but I have NOT reversed or put it into remission ‍♀️ I have other factors that might be...

    I get Whole Earth peanut butter which says 9g per 100g so not that bad as long as you don’t spread it too thick

    Have you been told not to test your blood sugars?

    I am very lucky with my DN, we’re as a GP at same surgery is arrogant and told me I was testing too much! I was given my testing equipment from the Hospital so luckily I don’t have to address the surgery for it, I suppose they can’t overrule the hospital. I will do what I know is right for me to...
