well done on losing all that weight. that is amazing. The struggle is real but I’m sure some can find it a breeze! .. I’m glad someone understands what I was trying to say. It easy for some and harder for others, so gradually instead of the constant slipping in and out can work better for some...

I can’t go to low carb as I’m on a tablet called jardiance and it has my blood sugar levels so low even after eating bread they can be 4.2 then drop to 3.8 the whole grain cracker breads are much better than bread and I try to stick to those rather than bread as they have less carbs in them...

Hi everyone, I just wondered what sort of things people have done to lose weight and what has worked and not worked for them. I’m 37 and was diagnosed in October 2018 weighing 17 stone 7lbs. I knew I had to do something about my weight and had a good think to what I wanted to do..as let’s face...

I shall try this with pasta thank you. :) although it’s not something I actually miss unless my son wants spaghetti and meatballs.oh how I miss my twice baked potatoes, but that’s excellent, hope it stays within range for you.I might give it ago, it’s stopping at one that’s the problem for me ha!

I tried the low carb bread and it sent my blood sugar through the roof. Which is why I stick to whole meal or seeded. I don’t test religiously 2 hours after food unless it’s something new I have tried. Since they have reduced my gliclazide I’m now getting readings around 5.8 in a morning and...

I shall try this thank you. Mashed Potatoes are my weakness it’s the only thing I’ve found the hardest to cut out. So I only have them once a week now and I want them 7 days a week Bread, I only have 2 slices of whole meal in a morning so I’m fuller for longer. I don’t bother with bread other...

I don’t feel I’m in denial, I’m type 2 and was diagnosed last October, I do t tell people, I have a dark sense of humour and I make bad situations seem funny. It’s just the way I deal with things. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. But I hate I have this condition. People say it’s...

I have just started on jardiance and wow did I feel weird the first 2 days. I’ve been ok today just more tired than usual. I think the tablets along with the sudden drop in blood sugar as well is a reason. I felt dizzy, confused and so so tired. It’s working on lowering my blood sugar but seems...

Thank you for your help, I have to have potatoes once a week just not a big portion, it’s the only thing that makes me feel happy yeah I feel more exhausted after exercise, more than normal. the other day I felt like my legs would give way. I haven’t had the dizzy feeling today so that’s a...

Thank you for the reply, can I ask why it was only for 5 weeks, is it because you managed to stabilise your blood sugar?? I don’t have any side effects from metformin or gliclazide but I definitely feel weird on these. They are helping though which is good. I shall get through the weekend and...
