@Enclave - thanks so much for feedback. Wow 6st in 2 years - that's amazing :-D ...I bet you feel so much better for it. I've lost nearly 1 stone and have another 5 to go. So...for me I'm counting carbs too e.g. ate 54.4 carbs and 786 calories so far today. I'm trying to (probably badly) work at...

Thanks Indy51 - I looked around some more and I realise that people are talking in 2 ways about this - one seems to be very much Alzheimers related while the other is clearly talking about damage to the pancreas. I confess to being a bit confused!

aww...I guess it just takes time for them to adjust - I managed to stop taking sugar in tea years ago but if someone ever puts it in, I love it still. Anyway, I digress. You're a lot more level headed and tolerant than me. Hubby thinks I'm far more unsubtle and direct since I had my SAH and...

Thanks pleinster - think after the event that I'm being too sensitive and grumpy LOL. Probably because not feeling so great. I think you're right. :-D xx

@chocklit buttons - hope things are still going OK for you and your husband x

Talking of shock (from earlier comments), I had my SAH just a few short months after having my brother die before me - and now I have Type 2 diabetes - I really don't think people truly understand whether shocks impact us or not but I happen to think my SAH wouldn't have happened had I not been...

Sorry for asking this but Type 3 - does this mean you all have Alzheimers, are more likely to get Alzheimers - I'm not too sure I understand what Type 3 is. xx

Sorry to hear that Robbity. Mind you, you've done really well to lose 19kg - and pull your 'scores' down from 61 to 42. :-D you must feel pleased with yourself.

Thanks Jaylee - and you made me laugh. I guess I'm just out of sorts and a little sense of humour from my side wouldn't go amiss :-D LOL

Thanks Avocado :-) I looked it up and I think the plastic rice turned out to be a hoax in the end - I thought it was a real warning LOL. Anyway shall try the cauli rice recipe, thank you!

I just want to mention that I never gave my daughter any sweets when she was young - we lived in Spain at time and every lollipop that came her way I intercepted and said a nice thank you - with "I'll save it for her for later"(just to avoid people feeling embarrassed). We came back to the UK...

@JenniferG - you're doing so well - many congratulations :-D

Thank you Daisy1 and sorry for the delay in replying. I've been ill. Starting to get my mojo back now slowly!! :-) It hasn't helped that my new really low calorie diet is probably contributing to me feeling awful and tired as well as being ill. Urgh. Good/useful advice and really appreciated :-D

Thanks Avocado Sevenfold :-) I'm going to try that. I heard that China are making fake plastic rice at the moment which are making people ill so I'm glad it wasn't that LOL!

mmm sounds nice!! :-)

For pancakes I mash a banana and add an egg and cinnamon - and it makes really tasty pancakes. Not had it recently though but just thought I'd share the recipe. I think if I wanted it really sweet I'd add Agave syrup which has a low GI and is sweeter than sugar so you'd get away with using less...

I just wondered if some of you have been through this. I'm newly diagnosed with Type 2 and I've been trying to tackle my bad diet and have lost 13lbs these past 2 weeks. On Friday he started talking about 'I'll fetch us a kebab' or how about 'fish and chips'... I felt like slapping him...

Hi Steve - what is 'fake rice' please. Thanks :-)

Thank you Daibell - much appreciated :-)

Please can you tell me a typical meal plan - really interested! Thanks :)
