Good evening:). I usually love cooking but felt lazy the other evening. This gave me a glucose reading of 7.7 the following morning, and I was being a piggy as I LOVE food! So, in the oven, I cooked Sainsbury's mushroom & spinach kievs and Sainsbury's spicy bean burger [I had one of each]. I...

I did this last Sunday with a roast, everyone loved it including my five year old grandson. I used Philli, Alpro cream and topped with cheddar. When I used to make it with flour based sauce, I always added mustard powder, can't think how I can incorporate it as everything is a wet ingredient...

The Hairy Bikers say to wrap the cooked cauliflower in a clean tea towel and squeeze. I have done all the time, leaving for a few minutes to be 'blotted', works every time:).

Ordered the Tee2. I've been going round circles! So relieved it's sorted.

Thanks so much Ally and AM1874. That gives me exactly what I needed. My GP said as I would never get hypos using Metformin, a meter wasn't necessary. I told her last week, that I was going to get one as I needed to know how food affected me. Yep, it's probably all to do with cuts. On a...

Hello, I was diagnosed with Type 2 a month ago. Am pleased that I am losing weight and my diet is healthier. I've had a few problems with false hypos, pains in feet, twitching muscles in legs and aching legs, but I feel good most of the time. I want to be in control so want a blood glucose...

I was diagnosed two weeks ago with T2, on Metformin. The diabetic doctor told me last week [my first appointment with her] that I didn't need a blood meter. I won't get hypos. I asked why I felt so ill that afternoon after virtually no carbs, apparently it was the weather!! Even hotter today and...

Morning☺. I had my first visit to the diabetic doctor last Friday. She said as I was on Metformin I didn't need a blood meter (not sure if I've used right term) as metformin doesn't create highs and lows in blood glucose. That day I'd had hardly any carbs and felt dreadful at work, I messed up a...

Thanks Alison, that makes sense:) I like that, 'knowledge is power'

Hi 13lizanne. Many thanks for your lovely welcome. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed which is surprised me as I was very laid back [too laid back according to my doctor!] on Friday. I was more than half expecting this at some time in my life as my parent, grandmother, uncle and two sisters were or...

Hi Bluetit1802. Thanks so much for your reply. I will hopefully get a meter on Friday, otherwise, yes will definitely get one. Yes, I thought Metformin could cause nausea and bad tums. Hopefully this will wear off. I think my feeling 'off' was due to needing to eat and the exercise I did before...

I have just joined your community and wanted to say hello. I was diagnosed last Friday, also with hypertension. Am seeing the diabetic doctor this Friday. I've been keeping a food diary to show the doctor. I am on 1x500mg of Metformin with breakfast, starting yesterday. Today, I had breakfast...
