Mmm will hold off on that one, my friend who goes to Desmond’s was advised to follow The Eatwell Plate.

I made it with coconut flour (as suggested) and I could taste the coconut and that’s where I thought the sweetness was coming from and not the sauce BUT I could be wrong.

Tried Fathead Pizza tonight - a bit sweet for me but not that bad.

Archersuz, I was diagnosed in April 2017, I have had my eyes checked and my feet but no Desmond course offered. A friend of mine (same town, doctor and T2) had eyes checked on Desmond course but no foot check!

I went to my doctors because I had been having excruciating headaches for a few days and I was diagnosed with sinusitis and costochronditus, two weeks later I went back as still feeling really poorly and I begged the nurse to take blood tests, she checked it there and then and said I think you...

Hilarious, made me laugh out loud!

I was told not fasting but as it was 8 am I had had a coffee but nothing else.

Guzzler, 1 month in and your HbA1c had reduced from 98 to 73, that is brill and then down to 43 that is amazing. It took me 6 months to go from 78 to 37. Don't beat yourself up. Be proud. [emoji16]

Thanks Guzzler, I have the prescription, does not mean I will take it but my cholesterol is at 7 which is high, my trigs are high at 3.3, my mum had high cholesterol. Mine has not reduced since being diagnosed T2 despite diet change so maybe it is the card I have been dealt in life.

Done

I went back to the doctors today following blood tests last week. HbA1c has gone down to 37. But he has put my blood pressure tablet (Amlodipine up to 10mg and a statin Artorvastatin 40mg once a day) Not sure how I feel about the statin as I have read so many conflicting reports but on the plus...

Had mine at the surgery two weeks ago, it was like a cattle market - jam packed!

Ok thanks

Hi Bluetit on the Omega 3-6-9 tub it says take to maintain a healthy cholesterol balance.

Hi oh_dear_me I am similar to you (as in veggie) and find it difficult to have lower carbs than 70gm a day. Also as I have a lot of dairy (high cholesterol in family) I am finding it difficult to lower but will keep at it. My blood sugars are consistently around the 5.5-7.00 range, so happy with...

I have Benecol but eat very little bread but do like the dark rye Rivita.

Hi Rachox I have lost a stone, so now down to 9 stone, don't want to lose anymore. I have Benecol, what do you put your flaxseed in? Also taking Omega 3-6-9 oil (3 a day)

I was diagnosed in April of this year with Type 2 and a HbA1c of 78, in June it had gone down to. HbA1c 44 and then October 12th a HbA1c 37. Feeling quite acomplished on the diabetic front, just need to sort out my cholesterol, my doctor thinks statins is the only way forward but I am not keen...

Hi I am on Gliclazide 40mg a day, I have been prescribed them once but now have to spilt them with a cutter. I find that you don't have to press too hard then turn the tablet around and press again and it cuts perfectly. I don't appear to have a problem but I have only been splitting since June.

No it was fasting from midnight.
