Thanks all. I knew you were right, I just feel guilty about having yet another gp appointment. Been to the gp who has said it's infected so has given me antibiotics & antibiotic/antifungal cream. Hopefully that will sort it out... I'm guessing I shouldn't swim until it's healed???

I've never had foot issues before and wanted to run something past you all please. I'll try to include as much detail as I can think of. I've just returned from holiday. The weather alternated between boiling hot and torrential downpours, so my feet frequently got wet and sweaty (nice). I...

Hi - thanks for the responses. I'm already on metformin, but will have a look basal rates. How do I count protein and fat and adjust insulin accordingly?

Hi there - I've been on a pump for about 18 months and love it! I've always been able to keep my insulin requirements down a bit by following a low carb diet, but the past 6 months have had trouble sticking to this (lots of life issues etc) so my control hasn't been great. I met with the...

Hi there - I'm 6-7 weeks pregnant. In previous pregnancies I've always struggled to keep my blood sugar down - mainly in the mornings. In fact I have higher blood sugar at these times even when I'm not pregnant, so it's pretty much a pattern for me. This time around, I've increased my night...

Thanks all - that's really helpful :)

Hi there - I've been invited to go on a DAFNE course (which I'm happy to do) but am currently low carbing. In the past low carbing has helped me lower my BG (although, annoyingly, not really had much impact on my weight). Is DAFNE going to be centred around eating lots of carbs? That sounds...

Much sympathy, I am exactly the same. I've managed by using the Freestyle monitors that come with a clear cap that allows you to test on alternative sites (you can contact them and ask them to send you one of their meters, but request that specific cap as they didn't send me one last time until...

Hi there - I've had type 2 for over 10 years and in the past few years (following pregnancy) have been on insulin, so I monitor my blood sugar regularly. My morning blood sugar has always been high and I find that my blood sugar rises rapidly in the morning, eg its around 6 at 6am, by 7-730...

Thanks! I've not tried coconut oil - do you use it for cooking instead of olive oil? It sounds promising :) My portion sizes are OK, I think. I've noticed I'm needing less to feel full than I did when eating carbs. I'm a bit afraid that it might be a dairy issue - perhaps I'll have a week...

Hello there - hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction! I've been doing a low carb diet for 7 months now, but haven't lost any weight since Christmas. I've plateaued before, but only for upto 6 weeks, and I'm getting a bit frustrated now. I mainly eat meat, cheese...
