Oh, @13lizanne - that is so beautiful! We were just talking about going to Scotland for a holiday quickly in case another referendum means we'll need a visa to get there! Hope you had an amazing holiday. Also, thank you for thinking of me at night (I think! ) ps - downstairs idiot has been...

Oh boy!

Thank you! Apparently, she's going to check with the GP. I asked the same question about the checks and she said she thinks I may have one more eye screening and that the annual blood test will incorporate all the other tests. I guess the only thing I won't have going forward is the foot...

Why don't you ask him/her? I did and said I didn't think I needed them any more and he agreed. Good luck, it sounds like you're doing really well!

@Lindy1706 - Absolutely amazing! Huge congratulations! I'd like to echo your thanks to the people you name-checked as they have also really helped me as well. As I'm also in Kent, permission to join your happy dance..?

Well, I'm back from the diabetes review with the Nurse and I'm officially not a diabetic any more! She'll send me for an annual HbA1c to keep an eye on levels, but I'm off their list now! Obviously I know that I need to keep a check on the carbs and glucose levels and intend to keep following...

There is if you hit the three dots at the top right and then select webview. Hope it works for you (and I'm not talking nonsense!). [emoji1]

I've been working on my GP re LCHF and he was interested to see my progress. I have a feeling that he's open to conclusive results (which I'll happily provide!). I do agree that the HCPs must get frustrated - both by non-compliant patients, NHS guidelines and prescription targets. I'm...

Blimey - well done, you! That's a fabulous HbA1c result! Wishing you luck for the next stone down moment. [emoji256][emoji256][emoji256]

Thank you! Although my Doctor did tell me that I'll be on the meds forever and no-one can ever come off them. He also refused to prescribe test strips as I "don't need to test". [emoji849] That was the challenge for me - to prove him wrong! He was gracious enough to acknowledge that I'd...

Thank you - I have to admit, I'm still grinning!

Hee hee - thank you!

I tried this recipe and I couldn't get it to work! [emoji53] It was absolutely delicious but the aubergine just didn't crisp up - it just stayed lovely and soft. I salted it for 30 mins before cooking it and put the slices onto hot baking sheets. Maybe it's because I have a gas oven rather...

Myfitnesspal is helpful, but as it's compiled by members, the details can vary enormously. I'd recommend looking at a few entries of each food type to gauge the accuracy. Good luck - it really does help to track your food (if incredibly time-consuming when entering recipes!).

Oh, yes - that's a motivator! Very well done! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

I'll post as soon as I get back to let you know! Thanks @berylc, @Hiitsme and @Alicki. [emoji8]

Update on my post in February! My last HbA1c was 5.0 and my GP said I could stop the Metformin and to go back for another test in three months. He'd then make the call as to whether I could come off them permanently. He warned me that it would probably go up and not to get too upset if it...

Thanks for that, @Avocado Sevenfold - that's the one I had my eye on when I did a search. I like that you can use it to marinate it as well. @Welshman1952 - wow, I've never thought of making my own! I doff my cap to you! I like to rub a tiny bit of olive oil onto cubes of tofu, then dust it...

Now that's next on my shopping list! I've done a quick Google and can see a few variations - Do you have any recommendations? (Although I have a feeling if I mention I want one, my husband will get his toolbox out!) (Not a euphemism!)

I had some of the vanilla one last weekend and found that it caused heart palpitations. Obviously I had to see if another flavour did the same thing (yeah, I know!) and I'm very sad to say that the salted caramel one did exactly the same thing. ☹️ I'm particularly sad about that one because...
