    Thankyou,more ideas would be very welcome......it's good to know that your diabetic team are so supportive of low carb.I haven't had much help from mine and so sometimes get disheartened.

    @DJC3 Thankyou,it went really well and I now have a much lighter cast on my leg.Never thought I'd be glad to have a walking frame but it means I'm more independent, and can do a sort of slow shuffle so just four more weeks and the cast should be off my leg.

    @dogslife You are understandably stressed.My lovely daughter in law is in the same position,worrying about her father, and is very distressed at the moment.You must remember to take care of yourself,its a big strain on the carer.Just to say that you are in my thoughts.
