I think education is needed around diabetic dietary choices. There’s quite a few approaches to finding the right choices to manage the illness and it would be difficult for airlines to provide meals to suite everyone’s choice. They obviously get their advice from one source and heck, if even my...

No, you’re not stupid by any means. I think we’re all being given out of date dietary advice and what’s healthy eating one week is damaging the next. I know when I was diagnosed I thought “I’ve looked after myself, this can’t be true”. I had a few years of ill health and my husband, who didn’t...

I’m also on Humulin 1 and started off on 6 units x 2 a day. A went up 2 units every 3 days until I settled at 20 units x 2 a day. My BG was within guidelines before meals but rose to upto 12+ after. I have since reduced my carb intake and my BS stabilised at around 4 -7 after meals but I...

Yes, I know how you feel. My children went through a stage of only eating food that was golden coloured. I was worried if there wasn’t a bit of green on the plate. They got much better as they got older

Thanks xx. I’m still chuckling!

Hi Kielyn, sorry to hear of your symptoms, hope you get it sorted soon. Can I ask if your neuropathy has been diagnosed by a GP and did you have tests to confirm? I’m asking because I too have the awful pain and at 1st doctor’s visit I was told it was due to vitamin d deficiency and on 2nd...

Hi Matteo, just checking in to see how you are feeling? How did the doctor’s appointment go? x

The dip thingy sound good, i’d Never of thought of that, thanks. I’ve never seen hazelnut milk, can you buy it in regular supermarkets?

Ooo frozen yoghurt sounds good. I’m glad I’ve found something to enjoy for dessert

Oops, sorry all, I think it is 5.3g ! My eyesight is very poor and I’m waiting for new glasses. Got a bit of a shock with that but at least a good laugh now! It’s Sainsburys Greek style natural yoghurt by the way.

Good progress. I lost weight quickly on low carb too. My eyesight returned to normal when my BS levels stabilised between 5-7 but, as i didn’t know that eating low carb would stabilise it, the blurred vision lasted 8 weeks. I had to wear two pairs of glasses, one over the other, to read my...

hello all, can someone help clear up my confusion please? From previous posts I gathered that a lot of people enjoy eating Greek yoghurt and i’ve been eating a lot recently. However, I noticed on the yoghurt pot that 100g contains 53g of carbohydrate, with that being 53g of sugar. I thought...

That sounds like a positive attitude- good luck to you, hope you get some resolution x

Hi all, after a recommendation on here to try almond milk I am now supping it in my coffee. Colour of coffee looks a little odd but taste is good and I think I can get used to it and It’s on offer in Sainsburys fridge section for £1 at the moment (the long life version is £1.70). Also, how...

You could try one of the NHS walk-in clinics if the pain is really bothersome, they might listen to you if the dr isn’t?

Do you live in the UK?

Yes, I cried all the way through my appointment because I felt such despair, I think and I still had to ask 3 times for a change in medication. I was previously taking co-codamol but that didn’t help at all..

Ha ha , my friend actually gave me the first bowl of all bran, she then went on holiday for the week, came back and couldn’t believe I was still holding on!

My pain started when I stopped taking the duloxetine (this may just be a coincidence as I also stopped other meds at the same time)i was on 120mg but I read that duloxetine helps nerve pain so I may have been getting nerve pain symptoms and meds to alieviate the pain without realising it. The...

I go to the loo every 2-3 days and have been like this for years. Once when I was having difficulty I ate all bran everyday but didn’t have a bowed movement for 7 days! Very uncomfortable. I must say tho that when I ate high fat/no carb for a while I was going 1-2 times a day, yes, every day...
