Good to hear from you @Grateful and that you are doing well. Trust the Mrs. is enjoying England as much as yourself! You are always such an encouraging poster, so drink away:) Blessings/L

Hi All, Trust you are enjoying the lovely fall weather......always makes me feel like I need to start a new project or something. Decided it's got to be me!! Just printed off a bunch of food diaries from diabetes.co.uk - thank you for having paper ones for oldies like me who still like buying...

Welcome @Jason_prend to the forum. You will do well to stick with us! Great supportive and truly caring bunch of individuals.....I have been on this journey for 17 years and it is only this last year that I finally got my head around things and now in a much better place - all due to finding...

Wonderful, Rachel!! A truly inspirational article......keep up the fantastic work:) Blessings/L

Hey @DaveXF welcome back. Hopefully you will get some good news on your tests, so don't think the very worse just yet....some of us have success in taking R-Alpha Lipoiec Acid tabs for those tinglies.....Don't beat yourself up too much for having gone astray for a bit....happens, so does life...

Hey @Inchindown welcome to the club! This is a toughy and many of us can empathize as we are in the same boat.....some things that have worked for me: 1) Go ahead and have whatever it is you are "thinking" you need to indulge in right then, but only eat 1/2 and literally throw the rest in the...

Hey @LornaFarrell sorry you are having such a day....so many things demanding your attention and not enough arms, legs, laps to accomplish it all!! Try making yourself a good cuppa or a nice coffee and as @Terrytiddy said, maybe have that one shortbread with it....sometimes life happens and we...

Well done @zand! You are an encouragement to all who have a ways to go to get where we are once more "happy" with who is looking back at us from the mirror!! I imagine you and all the others posting on this thread have discovered, like myself in my journey, that the battle is real and sometimes...

Well done @NannyP 2 on your journey thus far!! Keep on keeping on with being diligent, positive and enjoying the new things you are learning about your diagnosis as well as yourself, I'm guessing! Blessings/L

Hey RFSMarch, sorry to hear that your numbers have bounced back up to where they were a year ago by the look of your info. You must have been proud to get them own to 45 and if that is where you want to be again, you know what needs to be done! But, life throws us curve balls sometimes and we...

Hi All! Just got my latest results back at 6.8 (in Canada) so was quite pleased (last one was 6.6) as the summer is always harder for me to keep things under control with our anniversary, birthdays and such an awfully hot one this year!! Also just finished having two cataract surgeries and now...

Well done @AllyRainbow! Sorry to hear of the stresses you have undergone lately, but trust things are settling down now and you can concentrate on you again......I have enjoyed reading about your journey and you have really done wonderfully. Trust you realize that too and are focused once again...

Wonderful news @lucylocket61!! That indicates just how hard you have worked to achieve these results. So very happy for you!! Your brother cannot but take note of what you have accomplish and will continue to achieve, so hopefully some of it will eventually rub off and he will give it a go as...

Hey @PenguinMum, great work on your regimen in getting your blood sugars into that range! Well done! Good job on persisting with your question and getting a referral. I'm sure your information will be helpful to someone else and let's hope you can prove them wrong with the insulin, although it...

Hey @archersuz I stand corrected. I had in the back of my mind others who have successfully cut carbs while on insulin and been able to eventually get off it.....but certainly in the case of a newly diagnosed individual, medical advice and direction is the best way to go.... Sorry to...

Hey @sbrandon1320 the 14's are indeed high! You need to concentrate on getting your carb intake under control. I would strongly suggest that you take a good look at the lowcarbhighfat LCHF subforum here. Now bear in mind that "low carb" can be anything from 100gm to a mere 20gm/day! If you are...

Hey @sbrandon1320 welcome to the Forum! Glad you found us and stick with as as you will learn so much that will be beneficial in your journey with diabetes! I see you are a T2 and already started on insulin? Are you taking any other medications? Have you had any tests to see how your pancreas is...

Hey @seanj67 I think I can relate a bit to your situation, although I have been 17years on this journey....Lately I have been trying to tweak my carbs to see if I could bump them up a bit - to like around 75g/day.....what a roller coaster of blood sugars - the highest was 13 where I am used to...

Hey @cdpm good to hear from you again....still struggling, yes, but we are cheering for you... I don't know where you are in Canada, but can your Doc not give you a psych referral or a referral to a dietitian that at least would get your foot in the door?? Surely he/she wouldn't deny you...

As far as I know we are not routinely tested for B12 levels here in Canada. I do because I always ask for a full blood panel to be taken.....oh, let me tell you, if you are deficient you will know by the extreme fatigue, palpatations, extreme dizziness when bending over...get your B12 injection...
