Excellent news!!!!!!:p

If you like celery and soup, i have a fab recipe that is great as a filler and really tasty. Super easy and quick to make and very low carb. A head of celery chopped into 1 cm chunks, 1/2 a medium onion chopped, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chicken stock to cover. fresh ground pepper. Fry the...

What are the best times to test and how do i know if I am doing something wrong, other than high numbers. I started my new food regime last week and it is going remarkably well so far. Lost 5kg in a week! I have cut out sugar completely (candarel in tea), reduced portion size, leaving 12-14...

Thanks for your info on the double jab. I am about to do mine next week, and was wondering if there were any issues.

Did the hygienist take an x ray to see that, or are your back teeth wobbling enough to see that? All sounds strange. I have changed dentist 4 times in the last 10 months and now i have found a really good one. Least said the better about the previous, but you learn a lot!

Short answer is yes. I recently had an implant which did not take well. When I told my dentist that I was prediabetic he said that when he redoes the implant, he will treat it differently and that I should take antibiotics after the procedure.

Really, i do not think it is as awful as when i tried a diet or two, years ago.. Maybe the prospect of Diabetes 2 is helping in that, plus i really have to lose some weight... seriously now. I am very new to this and each day i am finding new meal ideas, and missing stuff i loved much less. The...

Do you stick rigidly to a list of foods you can eat and not have the odd treat? I am still trying to work out some meal planning that tastes good. The Keto thing worries me as it is a lot of fat, and i cannot believe that that is good for your arteries long term.

Sorry to hear that your "Pre" escalated during lockdown...I put on a massive amount of weight, and that is what got me to this Pre state. I am not going to fall off any diet this time, just need to work out what are the real no-no's and what i can get away with once a week for a treat. My plan...

I like you love those things, but if it was ok to fall off the wagon once a week with a treat like a couple squares of chocolate or half a mango...ie a small amount of sugar, I personally could easily handle that and would look forward to "treat day"!... My GP said it was OK to eat rice,pasta...

Some really great comments above, thank you all! I have just found out that i am pre diabetes 2, and am dong lots of research. Steep learning curve! On the positive side i am well overweight and been meaning to reduce for at least the last five years, but fell off the diets pretty quickly. I am...

I have just bought a VivaChek monitoring kit. Apparently their accuracy is higher than most + or - 9.5%.It also has a few added features that might be helpful... still new to all this! Also the test strips are a good price. I will update how good it is once I have given it a good testing!

Thank you so much for your advice. That 30% margin of accuracy seems rather large, but if that is the level of the science i guess that is the only choice. I will do as you recommend. Thank you again.

Hi... I am new to diabetes ( pre Type2), and just starting to do some research. I really knew absolutely nothing about it before. I have seen that MMOL is an important figure to check, is there any other check i can make myself? Also, and now to the point of this post, I checked reviews of...
