You will go far! Talking a DN round is almost unheard of haha

You are not alone. I was just like you and yet was diagnosed right back in 2016. I gave up some carbs but nowhere near enough and my heart wasn't in it. Then I realised it was because I didn't understand it, or know what I was doing. It seems so daunting but try to read as much on the forum as...

Great post zand!

I bet he won't forget you in a hurry! I wish I was as forthright :)

I've actually never eaten a Turnip! Was never given them as a child and wouldn't know what to do with one

Hi, do you do any fasting, or could you maybe lower the usual amount of carbs to see if your numbers improve just a tad? Just having a very late breakfast can help I found x

My favourite 'comfort' meal has always been creamy mashed potato with lots of cheese added, which I sorely missed. But I tried a recipe I found online, substituting Cauliflower in place of the potato. I very reservedly had a go at making it and was extremely surprised to find that it tasted...

Welcome jessj and what a great story! You must be on cloud 9 right now with such a success so quickly. I hope you really enjoy the forum and keep posting!

That's an amazing drop and it's good of you to share this with us, to hopefully encourage people with lowering carbs. Also we really need to understand what we are doing, which was my big downfall from diagnosis in 2016. It's mostly the good friendly informative people on this great site that...

zand this is exactly why I also ticked the No box!

If that works (and I don't have a phone to try it) then it's great news Su! You are really doing fantastic. Well done x

No. You just need to say Hi :)

Get well soon x

Hi NicoleC1971. So is high blood pressure caused by too much water being retained in the body? My systolic is high (144) but it's something I have yet to learn about. Thank you

Blood pressure is the yoyo within! :D

Surprised to find that I'm 137 pounds on my new scales this morning! I thought that I'd overeaten as I tried Cauliflower Mash yesterday and could only manage half as I was so full. By the way if you've never made this then you are missing a treat!

I forgot to take my BP today! I'm meant to do it at the same time each day so I'm stressed that I didn't remember :(

I'm not sure if there is a real comprehension of BP by anyone, but it's something they always seem keen to rectify? I expect the DN will have me in for a 'talk' on pills for it next!

I've not weighed myself since my diabetic review two days ago but their scales said 62 point 'something' kilo's .. which she WAS going to convert for me but forgot. I tried to work it out via google but I don't know what the 'something' bit was :(
