Thank you for that info on the cholesterol tests as I've not had any reviews since 2018 and didn't know they had changed the way of doing things. Is there another way for me to get a cholesterol test other than through my gp practice?

Oh yes sorry. i was still in confused state after the appointment :D

Good morning to everyone. I have just returned from my review with my new practice, and a tad confused. Is it normal for them not to have done a cholesterol test? I have always had this done previously and was waiting to find my results. She just scrolled down the screen in front of her saying...

Well I applaud you for carrying on Su. I'd have given up at the first bad sickness bout :D

I love cheese haha. Always have. Hope all's going well for you?

Today's breakfast was some Greek yogurt to which I added pumpkin and chia seeds, 8 blueberries, a pinch of ginger, a dusting of cinnamon and a slight lacing of double cream. (I never whip this) Midday I had a big bowl of spinach leaves with a finger of cheese, and a hard boiled egg (all finger...

Or you could have ham and cheese? I love cheese ones, and often add other veg to mine x

Absolutely we can :) x

Strawberries are high in vitamin C and good for the heart.

I know what you mean about the obsession with your numbers. Since I began seeing nothing but 5's on my meter two weeks ago I was dismayed by 6.1 this morning! Mind you I did spend half an hour outside moving very heavy potted plants before taking first reading, so maybe it was that? We get very...

That's a new one on me!

Be proud of yourself because you have done absolute wonders in only six months. Well done you!

But hopefully it's a long, slow process maintaining good health along the way Grant :) x

Does she mean that she wishes most type 2's are on them! lol

Well thank goodness you also got there in the end and I agree about the medical profession. So many of us end up suffering or not getting better just because of the NICE guidlines! I must read your blog. I've yet to work that page out

Due to phone anxieties that prevent me either making, or taking calls, and after the advise of a member of this forum, I wrote to the Practice Manager of the doctor's surgery which I joined on moving here. I explained my predicament, and she emailed straight back, arranged my diabetic blood test...

I wish that I had understood this concept in 2016 when diagnosed Lamont D. It took me a long time to really see the message but I got there in the end, and am seeing a continual line of mid 5's, be it first thing in morning, before and after food, and even random ones. It's just a case of really...

Isn't it one and the same? To add my own thoughts here. If, as we are told, there is no cure for we diabetics, then remission must mean that we are getting the balance right ( like clutch control in a car). We have steadied the line so that there are no peaks and troughs to speak of. We have...

I've never been a coffee drinker but I do drink tea, and I wonder if this makes any differences? Maybe they will try that next! lol :D
