I'm so sorry but few to no healthcare professional would read further than the abstract of that article, and it certainly wouldn't be used within evidence based practice - except maybe as an example of a biased and skewed study. The abstract brings up many problems, firstly there is nothing to...

8.1 @ 8.48 Made a mistake last night and ate a tin of sliced peaches (I did drain off the syrup, obviously it wasn't enough :( ) I suppose fruit has to become a treat.....

Thank you @Galja

Ok so as I said in my hello post my diagnosis was in Dec 2015 however at the end of the month my husband and I have our first infertility appointment at the end of the month. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what to expect, both in regards to the infertility side of things but...

@MargJ It would appear that different advice is given out at different times. I too was surprised that they were just giving them out to all of us who wanted on on the course.

According to what I was taught in my training using anything with alcohol in to clean the area can harden the skin therefore making the prick hurt more and making drawing blood difficult. I have discovered some alcohol free wipes made by accucheck (£1.29 for ten) which I buy from boots. I use...

Supper tonight was homemade lasagne (beef mince, fresh tomato sauce, white sauce made with buckwheat, aubergine replacing the lasagne sheets and LOTS of cheddar cheese), carb free spaghetti, 3 oat cakes topped with cheese. Followed up with a very small amount of port. Really chuffed with my...

Hi @muzza3 thanks, getting off the meds is my goal, but one step at a time. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

I understand where you are coming from, but unfortunately the nurses/clinical educators who are brought in to do these courses only work during the 9-5 Mon-Fri work week which of course then means that there is a limited time span when the NHS can actually run the courses. Also please remember...

As already said, carbs are cheap, they're convenient and addictive. Shops that sell majority sandwiches and wraps don't have the added cost of providing cutlery (either disposable or washable). For businesses it all comes down to profit margin, which lets face it is greater with carb items than...

Ok I'm completely staggered here! I've worn glasses since I was ten (I'm now in my mid 30's) and if I take my glasses off (or my contact lenses out) my vision is very blurry. I was never given advice to go to a&e about it, and I have only just been diagnosed diabetic. Blurry vision has many...

I've only had breakfast so far: 2 eggs, 1 hash brown, 2 chicken sausages and 2 turkey rashers. Fbg: 7.8 post meal bg: 7.1 [emoji3]. I have to limit the hash browns lol.

7.8 this morning for me.

Thanks for the reply, I don't take anything other than 500 mg metformin.

Ok so when I was diagnosed my nurse told me I 'have' (emphasis my own) to eat regularly. Now ok I get that my body should have food put into it regularly and quite simply there used to be days when I didn't eat until four in the evening due to how chaotic it was on the wards. However I have now...

[emoji112]Hi I was diagnosed t2 back in Dec 2015. The initial diagnosis knocked the wind out of me as I had prior to that been eating close to paleo (I say close to as I was adding dairy into the mix [emoji6]) and my biggest downfall was drinking fizzy drinks. Likelihood is the fizzy drinks were...
