Having been a bit unimpressed with various things in medical care recently and not being able to see anyone, in hospital and still no answers, and having the feeling no one understood DM, I have wondered if it’s worth seeing someone privately and sod the cost. I have an appointment with my...

Ideally I try not to snack but sometimes I do feel the need. I like Aldi Salter Caramel nut bars 5.9g. I usually have half. Or a Smint (metal tin) are nice and curb the craving.

If you are absolutely desperate LivLife Seriously Seeded bread (Waitrose or Ocado) is lovely and 3.8g a small slice. I can’t tolerate it these days but used to be able to. Makes lovely toast too.

Totally with you in that and not sure it is allowed at the moment. Aren’t we only allowed a family bubble? You have no idea who she has been close to or who her family has been close to. If they are up for a sleepover, what else have they been up to? You are the parent and you need to look out...

In addition to the things suggested above, you can use Canesten cream (Tesco own brand much cheaper) or pain the nails with cheap nail polish which seems to smother it. That cleared up my daughter’s nail fungus.

It all depends on the ratios and triglycerides. Was it as fasted test? Mine is higher and my doc is fine about it as my triglycerides are low and ratios are good. I did have to point that out though.

Fingers crossed for you. I worry each and every time. We all have blips so don’t worry too much.

This is worth a watch @Rubyjewelz

This is a very old thread. Milk with rapeseed oil in it? Really?!? Seed oils are extremely inflammatory to the human body. You are better off with natural cold pressed virgin olive oil, coconut oil, lard or butter.

@Frankie T Poundland is great for reading glasses until your eyes stabilise.

You can have as many as you wish if you pay for them. I get one free annually via my contact lense scheme. However it does not replace the annual NHS diabetes eye check done in hospital which is much more in depth.

What sort of nice things do you like/miss? There are many alternative that you can train your palate to accept as the real thing. If I crave something sweet I like an Aldi salted caramel nut bar (or half). Filling and taste a bit like a Snickers. I do gave a good imagination [emoji1] Halo Top...

Sound advice. Thank you. I hadn’t thought of giving them a call!

Yes but it is weeks away.

I find it so frustrating that no HCP want to hear how we have achieved success. Why on earth wouldn’t they be?!?! I feel like shouting at them and saying you’ve got it all wrong, or you are blindly following NHS advice. How many people are being harmed just because they trust everything their...

Thanks everyone. That has really helped. I despair that I feel like a naughty child. Why aren’t they inquisitive? Why don’t they realise it’s better to eat this way and be healthy (backed by lots of blood tests) then eat refined carbs and take drugs. One thing we did agree on is that I’m...

She did explain in her terms why and I mentioned the body can make glucose for the cells that need them from protein. She agreed but said it was hard for the body to do that etc etc. It was really frustrating as it was a short visit with masks so hard to see expressions etc. I just went...

The DSN was actually better and although against LC previously, seems to be more on board with my way of thinking, which is positive.

Thanks. I felt like I was back at school [emoji17]

Saw my doctor last week and felt I’d been told off for following a low carb diet. She told me my body needs carbs and how important they were and I wasn’t helping myself by following low carb WOE. It was almost as if I was confusing my results, which is probably confusing her. I asked, bearing...
