    Need a new hobby

    Mee too. Unfortunately there are some probles fo me to build things. The rise of tiny SMD and the presbiopy of the old age make difficult for me to make DIY kits. Also living in the week in an attic of a 1800 building meant no antenna in the roof. I have a packed HF multiband verticat at my...

    Juicing, are you for or against

    In this case one could try a vegetable purée or "passato di verdure". You need a manual vegetable mill https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-mouliware-vegetable-stainless-A45306/dp/B0000ARP21 or even a steel coulander will suffice. I like them in the winter instead of a soup...

    Surgery is backwards...

    In Italy, I got a recipe from my GP with the exam list, then I go to the exam centre of my choice and after a few days I can get back the papers with the result or in some centres download the PDF with an one time password written on a sheet they give me with the invoice or with this website...

    Your a diabetic you can't have sugar

    I think that noting that gram for gram breadsticks are more caloric than Gorgonzola cheese is a starting point, and notice how eating 200g of cheese is filling, but 200g of breadsticks are an appetizer. By the way Italian cheese producers don't like the UK semaphore system because the emhasis on...

    Your a diabetic you can't have sugar

    @Heretic1 You are instating the "no True scotsman" fallacy in your reasoning, excuse me. And a lot of TV hosts and journalist are make this error. The link with smoke and cancer is clear and proven even in low doses of smoke and is due of the DNA damages done by some chemicals present in the...

    Your a diabetic you can't have sugar

    This statement is false. Is a well understood fact that a lot of people haven't studied logic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent So if that statement were true all obese people who have a poor diet and lack of exercise must have diabetes. There are a lot of overly fat...

    Counting Carbs: Can I eat whatever I want?

    Try to change the carboydrate food she's eating. For instance stop fizzy drink and juices, use only wholegrain bread and pasta, also if you could find rice it's a good thing. Stop industrially made food if possible, because they put surprises inside it....

    Emotional toll of diabetes 'needs more recognition'

    @Daibell in my opinion because everyone is different, everyone will have different reactions when have to deal with diabetes. Diabetes is serious business and affects the life in many ways, but the attitude helps to manage it correctly. Unfortunately is a condition really misunderstood for...

    Goodbye

    I don't know if it's a good idea because people maybe don'like to share these info or forget to update the data after a change. Especially for a confused newcomer. If explained why knowing the medication is important it is also educational. And stops some boilerplate answers that some formers...

    How irresposible are the current diet NHS guidelines for T2 and pre diabetics?

    May I suggest that als bad school is to blame? I don't know about UK schools, but nobody ever told me at school eating and cooking tips. I've had awful experiences in school's canteens, both in public and private catholic schools. Trying to shovel in the throat of kids bad but officially...

    How irresposible are the current diet NHS guidelines for T2 and pre diabetics?

    Exactly. For diet it'sw false that "one size fits all", so giving a boilerplate response on this it a surefire way to make people fail. In this forum the eatwell plate is downturned, but the biggest problem is that eatweel plate in explained wrong and followed worse. Maybe LCHF has more success...

    How irresposible are the current diet NHS guidelines for T2 and pre diabetics?

    I suppose that one could interpret the guidelines. My impression is that there is a lot of misunderstanding on what actually is written on NICE guidelines and the customs. There is clearly stated on NICE guideline to eat whole grain foods not you have to eat bread and white pasta and that the...

    What is the strangest question you have been asked as a diabetic?

    You should have been directed to read some good books on the subject: https://www.carbsandcals.com/books/carb-calorie-counter http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/HealthyLiving/HealthyEating/Recipes/Diabetes-Heart-Healthy-Cookbook_UCM_468188_Article.jsp I think that especially the latter could be...

    How irresposible are the current diet NHS guidelines for T2 and pre diabetics?

    From what I know an HBa1C under 20 could be an indicator of starvation, anaemia or liver dysfunction. The target range for a T2 is under 53, but if one goes under 48, the non diabetic upper limit it's good. Going to 15 could raise some eyebrows and I suspect that redo the exam adding...

    How irresposible are the current diet NHS guidelines for T2 and pre diabetics?

    I don't think so. If the article has to be published on a peer reviewed paper some basic guidelines has to be followed. OTOH if this tick is used to make some number for politicians, the number they get have will be made public only if fits the politician agenda and hidden in a footnote...

    Cauliflower cheese

    @Mr_Pot My mother does it when it's caulifower season. Mom's recipe is a bit different, and sometimes adds other kinds of cheese, or instead of olive oil uses butter and milk cream, and adds some sage leaves, but the basic idea of the recipe is correct.

    Low Carb Diabetes Site in Trouble.

    I don't know if they changed their website after the article but seems to me that is very empty of content - few pages that seems ripped from some other site wrapped in tons of javascript and CSS. Rings to me as somewhat fishy.

    Jet Laggy Kind of Feeling

    I am suffering when there's the change between daylight and standatd time changes and also is the autumn effect. I think that if one goes from a no diet with breakfast made with Oreos and Nutella to one with plain yoghurt and plums the body has to adapt. By the meter as a type 2 I could say...
