Hi The first three are facts you can't do much about. Weight looks spot on. What's your strict diet? Low carb for example? Do you have an HbA1C number? Where in Canada? I have great memories. One of my favourite countries. (I'm UK)

Your last paragraph, yes, I suggest you need a new doctor / DN. When you're conscious of your numbers and are trying to manage your condition, to have someone say, "if you weren't testing you wouldn't know". is just about the most ludicrous, morale-sapping thing I have heard. Keep at it and...

Luf. Stress can cause many problems, including blood sugars. Perhaps we need look no further than your avatar! :oops::happy: Seriously, JoKalsbeek's post above is a good one and typical of the sensible help you'll receive on here. Well done on the weight loss. Best of luck

Not questioning it but what happened? PM if you wish. He was vehemently anti statin, as am I basically. But I do take one for an unrelated reason and I had a job convincing him initially that my decision was justified. He was also a good researcher / reader so yes, his interesting ideas and...

In the UK. I would go and see a podiatrist to get things checked out. You'll have similar I'm sure (if Texas is where you are).

RIP. Thank you for all the help and inspiration you selflessly gave others.

Gus77 - If you want to persist with your sandwiches, and I don't blame you for that in the slightest!, perhaps have a try HERE I used to have the loaves, but now just stick with the rolls. Each one is only 2.2g carbs, and they are quite large. When I have lunch I have 2 boiled free-range eggs...

Wow, that food sounds great. Do they do takeaways? :)

Oh sorry!

At around 11 minutes in he summarises T1 in relation to a report published by the Australian TGD (Therapeutic Goods Administration). I'd be interested to confirm or otherwise his summation by savvy T1s on here. It may be an interesting read for you particularly. Whatever, the whole video is...

My sympathies, it is an incredibly distressing condition. Just widening the discussion, there seems to be increased correlation between diabetes and vascular dementia. It's not nice to even think about, but a google brings up many different links. To me anyway, it's more encouragement (if I...

Yes, well put. I've said it before but (I think I'm correct here) it took 50 years after it was first suggested that smoking caused cancer before the world at large really took notice. Now at least we have revolting photos on cigarette packets - yet some people still smoke. Should they just ban...

But they don't now what the choices are, that's just the point. Not enough people speak out. Not enough people read or watch outside the mainstream message, which is very much one-sided. There are plenty of knowledgeable but too few et to hear their message. I think it's up to those of us who...

Mine too. But I'm not talking about me here. I'm trying (without much success) to opening a discussion about what may be in the future for our kids and grandkids.

Yes, they are 'different', but do they not both have the same adverse effect on blood glucose levels which is the thing that damages blood vessels? I think I'm approaching it from a slightly different angle in that it's the general damage to blood vessels that causes problems In other words is...

Just a subject for discussion here. I got to thinking after reading and participating another thread. It included the 'seriousness' with which people take our diabetes and food requirements. Here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/eating-out-nightmare.195512/ Basically, pubs /...

You're right lovinglife, glucose intolerance is not an allergy. It was really an exercise in explaining how seriously some of us take our heath. And yes, I can imagine how difficult it must be to cater for everyone safely at a function. In fact, I used to MC dinners and the complex food...

An allergic reaction 'is where your body reacts to something that's normally harmless...' In effect, isn't that T2s with glucose? Mention allergy and people take notice. To be fair, I don't have a problem in restaurants (not that we go often because my wife is a terrific cook) but if you speak...

Your feet OK? Have you had your circulation checked?

The link doesn't work for me.
