Another Happy Birthday Antje77, just a bit late but makes for a longer birthday! Yesterday brunch was a piece of British Brie. Dinner, preceded by a few nuts (very much enjoyed and portion controlled by husband) and leftover lamb cooked as a casserole with red cabbage, a pepper, one tomato...

Personally, I have had to deal with so many harmful decisions made by fully qualified medics that I don't see a lot of difference. I take nothing on trust and do as much personal research as I possibly can. And I always read the leaflets that come with medication. I'm been prescribed some...

You've probably eaten the other banana by now! But for future thoughts - if you eat something that's proven to be bad for you just to save it being wasted, it's still wasted. Hugs because it is hard when one is on a tight budget and/or has had the kind of upbringing where it is a mortal sin to...

My independence is very precious to me.

What an astonishingly impressive document!! Gold cup to your health providers. Great results from your own efforts as well. Another gold cup!

I was reading with great interest - thank you for locating this piece of research - until I got to the bit about "recognising that T2 is due to overnutrition" and then I became - annoyed.

I agree. I know two people (a big survey I know!) who had it and were doing things like liquidising Mars bars to get round the effects. So very sad, when I reckon some counselling and diet help would have been useful to try first.

At a guess, I would venture that not many non-T2 people even know about low carb (after all, how many medics do?), and even if they did, we are too small a group to make manufacturing changes cost-effective. And even if this did happen, it's likely, being a small slice (crumb?) of the overall...

Thank you all SO much for your kind empathetic comments. I feel so much less whingy having read them. I'd give you all a Trophy if I could.

Bear with me. I do try not to whinge. Here I am very happy with now-normal BG and weight loss through four clothes sizes, all due to keto/low carb and the support from you lot (thanks ever so). And apart from no medic has even SEEN me since original diagnosis 2 and a half years ago, nor asked...

I'd give that a try if I came across it. I love trying new things.

I wouldn't be taking that advice from a receptionist. I hope you get to see a Dr. soon.

Please understand that aircrew have no idea of or control over what catering staff put on board. They just have to take the flak when it isn't suitable.

What a super phrase!

I wake up several times a night, always have, diabetic and not. I am a very light sleeper in any case, and have many years of shift work behind me.

Wonderful! May you go from strength to strength. This time is about YOU now. We are all here for you.

Quick breakfast - easiest to prepare the night before. You can have (for instance) egg mayonnaise or cold cheese omelette, cold meat slices if you are a meat eater, maybe with a piece of cheese or a slurp of mayo.

I will be very interested in your findings when you post them. Going back a few posts to underline the "we are all different" once more - the assumption that we can add low-calorie/low carb bulk to get rid of hunger pangs e.g. by eating lots of cabbage. I was told to do this years ago when...

Most of me has improved considerably. I wish I'd known about it years ago!

My brain is perfectly capable of doing many things, calorie assessment being one of the easier ones, and my personality doesn't go in for delusions.
