Good to know. My other half bought a low carb loaf from our local shop today at the best part of £2.50 and its up to its date tomorrow!!! Trip to lidl this weekend I think.

Have you been checked for a gluten intolerance? A relative recently disovered they are a coeliac and one of their symptoms was anaemia as it is caused by nutrients not being absorbed. Could be worth checking on the off chance. Hope you are better soon

Thanks all, lemons it is with a bit of sweetener otherwise I might look like this [emoji15][emoji51]!!

Hi there, can anyone recommend anything for a cold. I used to hit the honey & lemon or a beechams but that was pre-diagnosis. Also used to have a spoonful of local honey a day for hayfever, but guessing this could now do as much harm as good. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question but as a...

Fab, thanks all [emoji3]

I have just been diagnosed so trying to learn what I can particularly about a low carb diet. Can anyone recommend any particular types of pub/restaurant or menu choices when eating out. I'm a veggie and I don't eat fish so this restricts my choices. I know to avoid places which list lasagne or...

First appointment with the nurse was not exactly a success. I will not be defeated however..... Really want to make my diagnosis a new start of healthy eating and exercise to manage this as best I can, and make sure my child doesn't follow in my footsteps. As the nurse was about as much help as...

I am type 2. Thanks all, was asked to read up as my homework which is great as it meant I got to the website and forum. Good to know what to expect as it makes next week feel less daunting. Next stop, research cutting down on my carbs as I didn't realise how my diet centralised round them til...

Hi all, I have just been diagnosed this week and am going through all kinds of thoughts. My readings were 9.1 and then 8.8. It's been a nightmare just trying to see a Dr just to get these results, been going on since the start of March! Pretty gutted right now as it turns out I had a reading of...
