My feet are always toasty! Blood pressure is monitored , on BP medication, all fine. What is acetaminophen ? Was thinking paracetomal?

Thanks. Have been using some cream that my husband was given. Forgotten what it's called except that it's in a large dispenser, is expensive but seems to be doing the trick. However, my feet seem to be getting worse. Restless, feeling like I need to stretch them all the time, aching, sometimes...

Has anyone used the Carbs & Cal app & books? Seems my light-headedness etc could be down to no eating enough! Have cut out all the sugary stuff now for the next step. Do you think I need to get a blood sugar monitor???

Thank you all.

Are their links with itchy ankles & forearms & T2?and achy feet? Ever since being diagnosed just before Christmas I seem to have more symptoms. Not feeling too good at the moment. Sorry

What are other views on itchy skin?

What else!!! And I thought it was my new jumper! But couldn’t explain the itchy ankles! Now I know diagnosed before Christmas no meds yet trying to self manage. Finding it very hard to make the right decisions it’s mind boggling. Sorry just getting to me.

This has cheered me up no end! Can't get my round mayonnaise & heavy cream! I have found advice on what to & not to eat very confusing & somewhat contradictory. Just have to try and get my other half off potatoes as he does all the cooking! How can I safe this list on iPad?

Thank you. I was told to eat porridge by the diabetes nurse! Never said anything when I said I ate at least 3 fruits a day. I do eat either blueberries or raspberries every day .

Can I eat chips???? If they are oven chips! I love Mc Cains gastro chips!

Could a feeling of hunger and a four o'clock dip also be due to cutting out sugar?? What's best to remedy it?

Has anyone any personal experience of this programme? What does it involve , does it help? My nurse suggested I went on a course, I think it was this one. But I'm not keen on talking in groups etc, but can't get the information on the Internet. Maybe it was because she said it was 4hrs, reminded...

What a brilliant and honest post. I must try your philosophy! It's the not knowing what's right and wrong to eat that's getting to me. So many conflicting advice. I've found it easyish to cut out the chocolate, cake, biscuits, even the large amounts of wine I drank! But like you I have a...
