They have also discussed Newcastle diet & how a very low calorie diet has been shown to 'reverse diabetes' but Gloria added how Low Carb had done the same for her. At the end of the programme they did refer to a BBC website & I saw an 'eatwell plate' pictured sadly!! I haven't actually checked...

Just been watching programme on BBC1 with Gloria Hunniford. Talking about the 'Diabetes epidemic'. She described how she was diagnosed as Prediabetic & had to change her diet drastically. She mentioned cutting out sugar- sweets & cake etc but sadly also mentioned fat. Then she did go & speak...

Melt Phillydelphia (other makes are available) with some milk& then grate cheese on top! Easy & yummy.

That's really clever & heartfelt!! Well done.

I too think it is out of order discharging people so readily. My trust discharges you even if you cancel if it's within 24hours. I rang once to apologise afterwards as I'd had an anaphylactic episode but they said there was no way they could get an apology to anyone so you need to go back to GP...

Hello & welcome. Can't answer all your questions - I don't take insulin but I do understand how hard it is when you're on a lot of medication - you can't possibly work out what is causing what & then you end up taking more drugs to deal with side effects of others!! I think a lot of drugs effect...

GP has had a look & says she thinks it is a little bit of bleeding & that I've probably banged it. I've just to keep an eye on it. Best to be on the safe side though. Thanks

Thanks too Oldvatr- you must've posted whilst I was messing with photos!! Due to my serious allergies - I spend a lot of time at home. I walk the dogs & usually potter to a shop (carefully- in case anyone is trying to kill me with balloons & apples?!!!) so I often only wear shoes for a couple of...

Haven't banged my toe as far as I can remember, no new shoes or anything but it does feel slightly sore. Pipp- no - the skin at the side is fine. Glad my foot isn't too scarey- but I know some people are really funny about feet- a friend of mine was always convinced that she would 'catch' my...

Hello I'm type 2- diagnosed 4 years ago. Had a bad 'fall off wagon' at New Year but back on track now with levels below 8- low carbing & 2000 Metformin/ day. Anyway have just taken off my toe nail varnish & found a red spot on my big toe nail. Thought it was red nail varnish (but the colour I...

I posted re problems with this app the other day!! I like it too but couldn't get it to allow me to put in any 'duration' for exercise. Also I could only get it to take one 'note' a day (if that) - I wanted to put in pre & post food BG levels. I don't think it was just me - asked one of my sons...

Thanks Iz the leg end!! Will try my fitness pal.

Thankyou all for your kind words. Still feeling positive & doing great with my testing & low carbing.

Hello. I've just started using the 'carbs & cals app' & am finding it really useful. However having a couple of problems with it & wondered if there was an expert out there- someone who uses it a lot - or is better with technology than me?!!! First problem is - I cant get it to add duration of...

Have just come back from a good appt with GP. so thought I'd let you know about it! At my practice there is one GP who has an interest in Diabetes - I don't know what extra training/ experience he has ( will ask next time I go actually). I've had a bad 'fall off wagon' - please see previous...

Hello. I too was diagnosed with Prednisalone Induced Type 2 (although I was told it was Type 4 when it's caused by steroids?!!!) almost 4 years ago. I have severe allergies & asthma & have been on steroids for about 8 years!! I take a maintenance dose of 10mg daily - although whenever I have an...

Molly, just read your post & it made me really sad. Your sorrow is so apparent in your words & also Inbetween them. Please don't feel like you have failed- you have done all you can & you obviously need to think of you now. That is such a difficult thing -when you have a partner that you love...

Oldvatr- yes it was Clotrimazole that I reacted to!! I've spoken to GP's this morning & they're going to ring me back - but probably in the morning. I would go & just buy something but after last time & with my history it's maybe best with their input!! I'll ask re Diflucan. I think with my...

Unfortunately I'm allergic to the thrush tablets!!! I do take calcium but not Vit D - should I, do you think?

Thanks SO much to you all for your support- I already feel less lost & hopeless!!!! Yes it is Prednisalone & my maintenance dose is 10mg. The Metformin dose is 3x 500mg. My levels today have been under 12 so it is is starting to take effect with my eating. Despite feeling awful & having to be...
