I suggest you make an appointment with Gp or diabetic nurse as soon as possible, there has to be a reason why you didn't feel it, possibly poor circulation? Neither should be ignored as further complications may develop which you don't want. Let us know how you get on. Good luck. Maggie

I have several, to continue on the low carb diet and loose weight so I can get into a dress my sister has bought for me for my nephews wedding in February and to get small enough to have a bladder op so I can stop wearing pads. To exercise daily even if its to walk a little further each day so...

Hi and welcome. Glad to hear your recovering from depression and the anti-depressants are working. Best advise you can give is to contact GP and get help. They say it takes twice as long to recover from depression as you are depressed for so the sooner its recognised and treated the better...

Hi and welcome to the forum. I have a brother who has made his life in Saskatoon some 45 years now and loves it. Hope you get some useful information here which helps you get everything under control. Good luck Maggie

Hi DavyG, regarding your main question about feeling tiered after eating and being able to sleep for hours after food. I have a similar problem I feel fatigued virtually all the time. It did improve slightly when they increased my metformin, but I've always put it down to my depression and...

Hi Ricky and welcome to the forum, I'm a relatively new type 2, but thought I'd just introduce myself anyway as there may not be many around tonight as its christmas day. It's good you found us. Keep posting as you feel you need to. No question is too big, too small or too stupid as there's...

First installment, Christmas Eve buffet was very well received, fed four but could of fed ten. So over calculated portions sizes and misjudged appetites, but it means there's plenty for tomorrow evening if they come back early from my daughters father's, so wont have to cook again for them...

Hi Lauren and welcome to the forum. Good to hear your determined to take back control. You've made a really important step by joining here. There are a lot of people willing to help and support you on your journey. Good luck for next week. Maggie

Hi Thanks everyone for the great tips. Will certainly try out some of these wonderful recipes. Beginning to make a list as we speak with mouth drooling.

Thank you for the reassurance and the tips. Still awaiting my appointment, apparently there's a 16 week wait just to be seen here.

Well done for getting through so much. Sorry to hear your still depressed though. I'am a stubborn fighter why do you think I'm still here today? It would of been so much easier to give up a long time ago but I have my children to think of, they are my safety factor. I have accepted some things I...

'Halah' that's the one! We don't have an Asda, not yet any way its being built as we speak. Tesco's is a bit tricky to get to for me as it takes 2 buses, no car. So I will probably stick with just Vege. But thanks anyway.

Egg's and Diary are apparently fine, but no fish.

Thanks Resurgam for the reassurance. Can I ask is the CPAP machine noisy? I guess one of my real concerns is I'm claustrophobic so I'm concerned with having to wear the mask. I know I will have to get used to it but I'm not sure I can? Maggie

Thank you It's been very helpful and given me a lot to think about.

Hi All, Recently diagnosed type 2, doing low carb high fat diet, obviously avoiding sugars as well. On top of that I have 3 visitors coming for christmas, my daughter (who isn't too much of a problem), and two of her old uni friends, a young female Muslim, and a young female who can only eat...

Hi All, Just a quick update. Tuesday I saw my GP, he felt I was improving slightly. Saw the Shrink yesterday and he's offered me ECT again for my depression, I adamantly refused again. You see I saw it in person thirty years ago, it was barbaric. He says things have changed and they probably...
