Muller rice? Is it made of the same rice that is high in carbs. I sound dumb, I know but am trying to learn. What a fantastic forum this is!

I have already ordered the Trudi Deakin book, will see how I manage with that and possibly order the 'Carbs and Cals' too. Thank you, also your link is very enlightening :)

He is at work at the moment, but thank you. I will pass on your message. He does worry, I know but is determined to help me. He has had a lot of time off work due to my anixety, so I really need to be well so he can go to work. I am sure, with the right diet and weight loss, I will feel much...

Thank you, I like berries so small amounts will help. What food, for example, equals 50g of LC? Apologies for all the questions.

It does help, thank you. Your weight loss is amazing and inspiring. I can't believe a low carb way of eating can result in such good weight reduction. I hope to emulate your weight :)

So my meter is going to be my best friend for a while now, isn't it? I have never used it regulary, just this last week as I knew by my sight that something was wrong. I don't understand why eating some fruits can be wrong but am willing to try. I have had increased thirst this last week, and...

Is there a limit to how much of the above foods I can eat? Everything in moderation I suppose. It's quite hard when it has been drilled into you that any fat is bad for you, isn't it? I feel quite excited!

If I make Spaghetti Bolognese, can I have a small amount of pasta - if not, any alternatives? The same question as above if I make Chilli? Can I still have sugar in my tea? I think I know the answer to this one though.

Wow, that's a lot to take in. Thank you Daisy. I'm not sure how to start, apart from cutting out white bread and potatoes. I need to swap all of my meals, it's just working out what I can eat instead of my usual meals. Ideas :- Breakfast - Eggs? Is it possible to have any cereal? What about...

Yes, my 15 year-old is overweight. So that needs addressing rather soon. He does eat a lot of chocolate and crisps though, and like me he does not excercise. He buys the chocolate and crisps from his own money, we do not buy them for him.

How often should I take my bloods? Never been given advice about this so testing all day, Thank you Ruth, I'm trying to work out some meal planning, I will have to start next week as shopping done for this week.. But at least if I know what I'm going to eat I can buy accordingly. I can do...

Feel so guilty for being silent, thank you all so very much. Yes, Clive, I know it's the way to go but it's so scary - changing my whole way of life but I can do it. Thank you Jack, for those links will have a read later when I have got the children sorted. Milly, thank you for your kind...

I am 18 stone 8 - height 5'4" - I eat ( or was eating) corned beef and onion sandwiches for tea with white bread and crisps. Two sachets of Quaker Oats porrige for lunch/breakfast. Previously, I have eaten bars of chocolate and crips. My lifestyle, over a large period of time, is the cause...

Thank you all for your concern, it's much appreciated. I called the out of hours GP last week, it was a GP from my own practise. They said nothing other than to follow the GP's advice and double my tablet. I feel I am not getting any help at all. This has put me off going to the hospital...

A bit light-headed and dizzy. Eyesight bad.

BG now 30.5 :(

That's amazing, well done. I weigh approx.18 stone :(

My typical diet is 2 x sachets of porrige at approx. 1pm and then I have my dinner at approx. 5pm. For my dinner I have either sandwiches ( 6 x slices of bread) with crisps or a meal containing meat and potatoes. I don't know how I am going to follow a low carb diet as, as you can see, I eat a...

Ahh, I was under the impression (why I don't know) that I had to eat lots of carbs. So glad I posted yesterday. I will have a read of those links, thank you so much. I will be stopping around, this site and it's users, are so helpful. Can't believe the support I have had already. Thank you.

Hello I am not feeling so bad at the moment, my BG was 21.0 this morning so has gone down a small bit. I have been to the GP's and the positive thing is that there were no Ketones in my urine. Otherwise, I am in tears as the GP has had a right go at me, telling me I need to eat 3 sideplates...
