Don't worry - it was probably a hobbit! (a very large and bony one :shock: ) Viv 8)

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 5.2 yesterday, 5.1 today :D Was a slob yesterday evening and ate strips of hot turkey leg dipped in mayonnaise while watching TV. Mmmm! I buy lots of spare turkey legs after Christmas (people buying crowns and not wanting the legs)...

This get's my vote for BEST exchange EVER on DCUK. :clap: Let the winning continue. Not sure about best, but I found the whole thing strangely arousing. Ah-ha! a foot fetishist . . . . . . or was it the whip? :shock: :wink: Viv 8) (I wasn't allowed to embed all the quotes, which...

$#$%&@**! I forgot to swith my SAD lamp on! Viv 8)

Goats' or sheep's milk cheese is very good for people who may have an intolerance to cows' milk. This can also include people who get thrush-type or yeast-related infections - same way as children with asthma and/or eczema (sp?) can often tolerate goats' milk but not cows'. Atkins says to limit...

Very well put, Unbeliever :clap: . Viv 8)

Hi Susan As a 50-year serial dieter, who ended up at twice the weight she started at :roll: , I can only tell you what works for me - and keeps my blood glucose levels, blood pressure and cholesterol firmly under control. Have a look in the Sticky Threads section for Viv's Modified Atkins...

Right - in with both feet :wave: :lol: It's me! It's me! I'm last! :clap: :crazy: Viv 8)

Never! I missed most of it, too - but I think that if I had been around at the time, it would have been 'you and me both, kid!' :shock: All we have to do now is spot the 5th-columnist. :think: Paranoia rules okay :crazy: Viv 8)

Are you home? How's it going? Don't forget to let them spoil you! :wink: :D Viv 8)

I have a suspicion that we've been "infiltrated". How our unfriends must be enjoying this! Viv 8)

IMHO, the Moderators' job would be made much easier if posters counted 10 backwards, and re-read their post 3 times, before they clicked Submit. And, fellow members, - if you think someone is deliberately trying to provoke you, or start an argument - just ignore them. Much more annoying...

I was told by my Diabetic Specialist GP, on registration as a Type 2 diabetic: "you'll eventually go blind, get kidney disease and have to have your feet amputated". If this is the bald statement that other Newbies have been given, no wonder they are frightened when they come here! Fortunately...

I'd like a copy, please, Geoff. The Grim Reaper thread was so short-lived that I missed it completely - didn't come on the forum until about 16:00 yesterday. I had a perfectly reasonable paragraph (in my opinion) about complications edited out of one of my posts about diet - "too upsetting". It...

Sounds awful - you have my sympathy! (and empathy - my hair has gone really thin too!). I assume they've checked you for hypothyroidism? Have a look at the ThyroidUK website for a list of symptoms - it's possible to have all the problems and still have your tests in the "normal" range...

Many people can take statins with no trouble at all, but a number of us have had bad side-effects (muscle/joint pains, foggy brains, for instance). I suggest you Google "statin side-effects", and see what you get. Have a look at the pro-statin sites as well as the antis. The one anti site I...

I can manage a couple of slices of Tesco Finest Multigrain, as long as I don't eat it too often. Otherwise it's Ryvita with sesame seeds in, or plain oatcakes. Viv 8)

That's why I started on the red wine - iron content :shock: :lol: . Though Phoenix tells me it doesn't work - wrong sort of iron - I've never been anaemic in my life :P :wink: Viv 8)

I do try my best not to evangelise anyone about low carb, but when you are enthusiastic about it, it can be difficult not to share too eagerly. I do think, though, that controlling carb intake to some extent is important in any treatment of diabetes. Whether it's done by portion control, reduced...
