Have found the ad again. It is under the tab "diabetes and the family". When I click on that tab it opens a new tab and you are into the ad. If you close the ad the tab closes and you go back to the real diabetes.co.uk "diabetes and the family" page. I took a photo of the ad but it won't upload...

I can't log in to the site on my pc now as it won't recognize my password. I can only post from my iPad and I don't get the same page format on this. It must be my end but if I get the page up again I will post a link. Thanks for looking into this. Have run a virus check and nothing found. Who...

Wow that is expensive! It only costs about 3 euros here in Cyprus.

Thanks for moving this to a more appropriate place and for helping to bring it to the Aministrators' attention.

Has anyone else found that when they click on links and tags on this site they get directed to an American ad for a diabetes "cure"? I clicked on the forum tag at the top of the Home page this evening and was twice linked with this site and other links on other pages have taken me there too. Can...

You're not alone in the white coat club. My doctors know I suffer white coat hypertension and I also seem to get white coat hyperglycemia too so all readings taken at the clinic are way higher than I get at home. The suggestion of taking your monitor in and doing the pressure test alongside the...

Kale does it for me. About a cup a day and I'm fine. Drink plenty of fluids too and try not to eat too many eggs and too much dairy or red meats as these have a tendency to clog up the works. I agree with all the other suggestions too as the more fibre you eat the more it offsets the carbs and...

If you are craving pancakes, have you tried this recipe from dietdoctor.com? It's not a keto low carb recipe, though at 10g carb/serving! Serves 4 4 eggs 1/2 lb (250g) cottage cheese 2 tbsp ground psyllium husk 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil Blend all ingredients for the batter and let it swell...

Hi, I was diagnosed with prediabetes a few months before you. I live in Cyprus and because my regular doctor has been so unsympathetic about trying diet and exercise and just wants to put me on drugs all the time, I have been going it alone with this for about 9 months. I was fortunate to be...

Hi, I sympathize with everything that you are saying. It is so annoying when people won't listen to good advice. :banghead: However, we have to face the fact that most people are very stuck in their ways and don't do much to help themselves even when faced with ill health. Most people seem to...

Thank you so much for your reply and your support. No I have never been overweight. The heaviest I have been is 10st (BMI 24) and I am now 8st 10lbs (BMI 20) after going on a low carb diet. I'm 5ft 5ins btw. I have had two fasting glucose levels above 7 both of which were taken at the clinic...

Thanks for this advice. I will try it out and see what happens.

Hi Emile-the-rat. It wasn't my diagnosis at all, it was my doctor's after a routine annual health check. On the strength of one elevated fasting glucose test, she wanted to put me straight on to medication. I had the HbA1c done then of my own accord because I wasn't convinced of the diagnosis...

So, went to doctor today and, as anticipated, it was a complete waste of euros. He took one look at my fasting blood glucose of 7.2 and went straight to the prescription pad to give me metformin. He was not interested in the fact that my result also showed that I am not insulin resistant and...

Thank you all for your input and ideas. I have looked at all the links provided but I can't really find anything that doesn't relate diabetes to insulin resistance, unless I just haven't got that far yet. Which comes first the glucose intolerance or the insulin resistance? This still seems to...

Hi, I'm a bit confused at the moment. Having posted a thread on here about failing to find a control solution for my meter to check it's accuracy a very bright person suggested that I go to a lab to simultaneously have a fasting glucose test and use the same sample to test my meter. So that it...

HI I have cooked this loads of times and I got the same results to begin with but I found that you need to cook the bread longer than you think. When it is done it will feel quite crisp and look quite well done and slightly shiny. Tap the bottom of the loaf and it will sound very hollow when...

www.dietdoctor.com or the recipes on this site which you can download There are so many really healthy, tasty alternatives to high carb foods out there. Loads of pizza recipes which are better than the tasteless doughy manufactured kind, loads of desserts (even made with chocolate) if you...

Thanks, Derek. I will try that.

I have been enrolling on various health courses with an online provider called FutureLearn - maybe some of you have heard of them - in order to gain a better insight on diet and health. However, I have been frankly appalled at the content of some of the courses which are aimed at health...
