Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some advice please.I am ten months into a low carb medium fat diet with good results so far.These last weeks I have begun to have cramp in my foot,usually in the night.Its a different kind from after walking long distances for exercise(when much younger!!)in...

Very fast delivery,just unpacked mine,looking forward to a coffee (with cream) and a good read!

Welcome,Don,you have had some excellent advice already from the forum.I have found this forum invaluable.In Scotland there is a good resource for diabetics called my diabetes my way.You can access this on line and it will,after registering give you details of all your results.I have found this...

Thanks sock,I've just read your post and pre ordered Diabetes Unpacked,thanks for the review.

Yes I agree,Reurgam.I have found myself much more optimistic and positive about my health.Once those numbers are seen to be improving there is the feeling of regaining some control.One of the good outcomes ,and a bonus for me,has been improvement in energy levels and sleep patterns.Well done...

Hi,welcome to the forum.Well done on your results!Low carbing has worked well for you.I should continue,and create a little leeway with weight.A retired friend of ours who has just completed theNewcastle diet is with us for a visit later in the week.I will ask him about his diet now.When we last...

I use Robitussin range too.I find Halls sugar free lozenges ok,and have helped to settle a persistent cough.Hope you feel better soon.Take care.

I'm over the moon,hope at last.After sixteen years of being a model patient,believing I would get progressively worse and taking more and more pills,my results are so much better after eight months of low carbing.Ill send my GP a copy of this plus my results.............even after sixteen years...

I'm so sorry things have been so bad,Sockfiddler, I have followed your posts on here,you have so much to offer,and always give such a clear insight to problems and situations I really appreciate your talented writing.I hope your own situation and health improve.Your view of the NHS from a...

I took mine in hand luggage in June,no problem.As a precaution, I had my meds as well in hand luggage plus prescription printout.A few years ago Easy Jet lost my main luggage so I always have medical stuff in carry on bag!Have a good trip!

Yes,asking,with a smile works each time for me!This year was my first as a low carber so I was quite apprehensive about eating out.For various reasons we have been away from home more than usual this summer so I've tested this theory in different parts of the U.K!At a lovely brasserie...

I have only just read this post,I'm always late to the party!It interested me because my daughter lives on the France Swiss border,works in Geneva and their two children have been in Swiss and French schools for the last ten years.We visit regularly and the most striking thing to me is the...

Don't be too hard on yourself,we all have days like that.When I have a down day I try to focus on the good parts of my life and the great people round me.I developed D2 after I had just retired from a stressful job and still found it challenging.You younger folk all deserve medals in my...

I had carpal tunnel in both hands in the 80s and had each hand operated on then.I was diagnosed with D2 in 2001.I don't know if there is a connection.After being pain free for years I now have pain again,not as severe as before,I've tended to blame it on my age!My GP sent me for physio,not sure...

What a trial this diabetes can be!My dentist mentioned the connection between diabetes and gum disease(which I have ) but it was the hospital consultant who checked my mouth.Luckily for me I was clear.You seem to have more than your share of these presents that diabetes leaves around for us!

I have lichen planus,on my body, not my mouth,diagnosed in 2012 after a bad attack of Noro Virus ,followed by pneumonia.After mistakenly being treated for excema I was finally sent to a consultant and given the correct treatment.It does re occur.I have it at the moment for the second...

Welcome to the forum kay64red.This forum has been a wonderful help to me.I was first diagnosed as type 2 in 2001.I have had so much help from reading this forum and have finally begun to understand diabetes!Both my husband and myself are in our late 70s and I often wish I could be more active...

I agree Avocado.I have been away from the site whilst on holiday and am both surprised and saddened by some of the vituperative posts on here.As Diane Abbott was a former Shadow Health Secretary, whatever your political persuasion,it would appear to be a good time to point her to this site and...

We make our own yoghurt using Easiyo yoghurt mix.The unsweetened Greek Style has 6.7 grms of carbs per 100g and the bact you need.This is so easy to make and a very good price.I serve with a drop of double cream and fruit,either raspberries or rhubarb and a drop of Stevia if I need it.More...
