I think many of us 'imagine' that we are hungry at a standard breakfast time because of conditioning. I have certainly found with myself that if I routinely go straight into my kitchen when I get up, then I think of my breakfast and feel hungry for it, but if ... like this morning ... my mind is...

Well I certainly agree about the doctors surgeries! You keep doing what makes you feel the most secure .. nobody thinks you are mad. xx

Brilliant Su! Didn't I tell you that you'd soon catch me up. lol :D CONGRATS xx

Absolutely agree. Our world has changed. Let's hope we don't get a bad influx of winter cases x

Welcome to the forum, and I hope you will ask lots of questions ... however silly you may think they are .. as there's always someone who has experienced whatever it is. :)

That's interesting Dandelade. It must be a horrible thing to catch, but to get it twice is pretty wearing for the body I would think. I guess you built up some resistance though, which improved your symptoms during your second infection. Glad to hear you are well :)

Dandelade, can I just ask please. Did you find the second time of acquiring it to be less severe than the first?

I have been very careful during the past 18 months or so (a) because my diabetes wasn't controlled and (b) because I am totally responsible for my daughter. However, two months ago I turned that around by gaining diabetic control and assessing my present risks. I do still wear a mask in shops...

'Yes' is a complete sentence :)

Maybe he didn't like you asking lots of questions simply because the 'NICE' version that they stick to is not acceptable to many of us?

What is it with doctors! Surely if their patient is worried then they should look into the cause!

Annie ... my left eye is blurry too. When I saw a vision consultant last week he said that my right eye is measuring 16 but my left (the blurry one) is 28! I keep wondering if it's with dropping carbs so quickly

YEAY! You have taken the most important steps, which of course are throwing out all the bad carbs. THAT is why you feel so good. I threw mine out almost 8 weeks ago now and honestly I am amazed at how much younger and fitter I feel. I'm still on one metformin per day but see my DN next week for...

Some of your story is similar to mine, especially with regard to recent family losses and the stress it causes, and also with your cholesterol levels. I am a big 'nut eater' too, funnily enough! Have you tried Plant Sterols for your cholesterol levels? My GP suggested them to me four years ago...

Don't worry SuNuman cos the way you're going you will soon catch up! xx

WOW! How do you get such a great number? I've only ever once touched on a 4 (4.9) Amazing x

Haha that's so true John Green, and it's also soooo difficult to throw away the wasted bits too :)

Good Morning everyone! 5.4 today and very excited as my new bathroom scales are due today so my mum's antiques can be put away :)

SuNuman mine stuck on 10st for about four weeks!!! I tried everything from longer fasts, to extra walks, and even heavier garden work, but it made no difference. However I now think it's because I lost that first stone in about TEN days! I think my body had to 'catch up' after that before it...

How wonderful for you! Well done on your results x
