Did you just post a comment on the daily fail website, by any chance? If it was you I just gave you a green arrow!!!

We spend quite a lot of time in Rome, where my brother in law lives. They all seem to eat quite a lot of junk food and a lot of carbs. I have no idea what it was like a decade ago, but they seem to have embraced convenience foods whole heartedly!

My surgery refuse to acknowledge that metformin has any effect on tsh levels. I don't think it fits into the tick box !!

Today I am 66.5 kgs. Cant remember what I was last time, but I think it was about the same. Having a bad week. OH made redundant and its not easy looking for work over 60. It that gap between being too old for finding work but too young to claim any money to retire. So bring on the comfort...

do you know what your levels are? Did the gp tell you why it was being dropped? I no longer talk to my surgery about my levo because they are so unhelpful. Although, tbh, I have only ever had one very short phone conversation with a gp about it, the other visits have been with the surgery...

I have a few autoimmune conditions, as does my daughter. It might be a bit late for me but I hope this is common knowledge in time to help her. Gp wanted to stop my metformin the other day but I argued to stay on it. It is a good drug with benefits outside of diabetes.

Thank you for that. Although I think @paulus1 is annoyed at me. And the presenter actually t2d is a lifestyle disease, by which I am assuming she meant all of us. So very ill informed.

I use them a lot. I make a sort of jam with frozen berries in the microwave with a big spoonful of seeds. Delicious with Greek yoghurt. Also put them in flax seed crackers for extra crunch. You can also make a sort of pudding with them, which I used to eat a lot in the summer. They bulk things...

I come from two big extended families. On my dads side we have the usual mix of body shapes, but among my many cousins and aunts there is not one t2d. they tend to die from cancer and heart disease. On my mums side, again with a mix of body shapes, you cannot attend a family gathering without...

Saw that. Absolutely beautiful. Sorry about the 8.1 It was definitely the moon.

Morning all. Not about much anymore but still popping in when I can. This forum is far to valuable to be ignored!! So---my fbg is still too high for me. I am 8.6 today. What is going on??? It has been up since just before Christmas when I had a small op. Expected it to go up a bit for a while...

My interest in this subject came from attending an xpert course where the presenter has banged on about t2d being a lifestyle disease and really just down to the choice of the individual. However, it seems to upset some posters on here so I will not bother with this anymore. It is very...

I was very obese . Over 16st. I have reread my post as well and I do not see what has made you so angry. Nobody "deserves" to be ill. I did not say that at all and feel that you are just picking an argument!! I do not "deserve" to be ill just because I was fat. She does not deserve to be ill...

I think life is extremely unfair when one of my very overweight friends has a hbalc of 39. She eats what she wants and has a perfect bp, although her cholesterol is high. Does anyone know what percentage of obese people will never develop t2d? I know its the majority but I can't find any study...

Wow,.that is amazing!! I have read your posts since I joined a few months ago and am really impressed that you have done this. Well done. I hope you did a little happy dance in his office!

Hello and welcome. As you now know, metformin does help, but not quickly or in a way that you will notice straight away. I take it, and hope to stay on it because it has other benefits. It is supposed to help protect against certain cancers so I have asked to stay on it even tho my surgery...

Missed the spam!!! Was it good!!

Morning all. I am 6.4 today. The best its been for over a month. Odd really cos we are really stressed at the old ladys home. My oh was made redundant (again) last week. This is the 4th time in the last few years, but the older we get the harder it gets to find work. 2018 has not been good to...

Dancing with you!!!!

Hello and welcome. Are you on any medication for any thing? Do you need to lose weight? Both these things should be considered when deciding what to have for breakfast!!! It is difficult at first. It is a lot to come to terms with but in order to be around for years playing with your new...
