I don't know my latest as my doctor never told me. I'll ask when I see him in 2 weeks.

So long as you eat when you're hungry then no problem. I am ravenous in the morning when I wake and not so much during the day until 8 in the evening. Rarely snack (apart from slip ups like yesterday when I saw a flapjack :crazy: ) but drink plenty of water.

Re: Are slightly numb big toes *always* a sign of neuropathy Went to Leeds and Reading Festival last year, stood in a field all day for Leeds on barrier and ended up with someone banging behind my left knee which consequently went into the metal barrier repeatedly. Funnily enough all that...

Sounds like a daft question but is coconut flour the same as coconut powder. Have seen some powder on sale as I live in Reading which is very multi-cultured and wondered if it is the same.

I know exactly how you feel. I too am on a severely low fixed income after being unemployed since May 2011. As someone on a budget of around £15 a week for 2 going low carb is a real stretch. Good suggestions though.

Hi Catherine, The heat and sweating is all over the body. I don't feel ill with it, just hot and clammy. @Bowel hmm, a sugar burn eh. Now that would explain it. I have been going off the rails 100% these past 2 months. I even had a reading on 22.9. Needless to say, I have earmarked tomorrow as...

Hi, Haven't been here for a while but having scoured the internet, I still cannot find a firm answer. When I eat food (cooked, not raw) such as a normal plateful, I become hotter and clammy, almost like a hot flush that lasts 20 minutes immediately after eating. If I eat something small like an...

Hi. I'm really getting a craving for a cinnamon soft pretzel, similar to the one I had in Florida last year. I wonder if anyone has a good recipe I could use? Cheers K.

Ah thank you for the advice people. I am most certainly looking forward to it! I am staying at the Contemporary Resort (the one with the monorail) and so should have a fridge where I can store stuff. Anyone else been in that one?

Interesting comments people. Doczoc: I haven't until this reading had anything below 6.5 so a 5.9 is like a blooming miracle! Will see what next one is (I ran out of strips accidentally so will have to pick them up after work tomorrow). gbtyke: Ah I see where you're coming from but alas, not...

Ok, so I am a 100% diet controlled type 2. As such, I am so strict with what I eat which ticks me off every so often but best not go there! So on Friday I ate. 7am: Slice granary toast, flora spread and pear (what I always have). 11am: 2 rye crackers with 2 tablespoons grated mature cheese and...

I love salad and cheese wraps. So much more convenient than a sandwich!

Being a chocoholic and craving for chocolate most of the day not having it is really really hard. Personally, so long as I have been extremely strict with my eating and my levels are good, I allow myself a freddo (a mini cadbury bar in the shape of a frog) on a sunday but only if my levels are...

Hi. I am going there in July/August this year. I wonder, if anyone here has been there and what is the food like, portion size etc?

but suprisingly she

I agree Phoenix. The burgers you got when I was a kid were burgers and not what can only be described as a slab of ground meat in a bun.

Hi all. Thought I would post a question as I can't find the answer anywhere. Since mid March, I have taken my diabetes extremely seriously (my team told me I need drugs, I refused, they said come back in 3 months and if your levels are the same you need drugs and I said I will fix it myself)...

I 100% agree with you about portion sizes. For example, I cook a lot of Japanese food (as I'm applying for a job there for next year) and where simple noodles are concerned, a portion is perfectly wrapped up in a tie. Wrong! That one portion serves me (around 100g cooked) and my growing...

Hi, I've been grazing these past few weeks and so thought I would introduce myself. My name is Kelly and I'm 32. I am currently at University and am towards the end of my second year. I am a Sci-Fi addict and sing all the time when at home. I have type 2 and although only diagnosed in March...
