Bless you, did as you suggest, I have a recipe to try. Much appreciated.

Thank you. I really want to make a cheese sauce though and am looking for tips as to which flour to use.

I walk barefoot as much as I can. Always looked after my feet decades before I became T2. Not going to alter that now. Of course whilst I am gardening I take risks but that’s life. I dropped a large plank on my foot last week...resulted in wave of bad language but only temporary swelling...

Parmesan cheese omelette ticks boxes for me.

I am pretty keen on cauliflower cheese. As is beloved. So planning on cooking it Friday night. As carbs really don’t suit my BG, does anyone have any experience making a roux for a cheese sauce with coconut flour...or indeed any other low carb flour? Thank you in advance!

Not my area of expertise but I think a frozen shoulder has nothing to do with diabetes.

Oh God, yet another commercial “answer” to a human problem. If we are smart we stick to stuff over which we have some control. Sodding pills are not the answer to everything unless you own or have financial interests in big pharma. Resist! Mind you, I have the metformin trots today. Working...

Interesting. I pick up plastic bottles and cans on my way home from buying my newspaper and that gives me the chance to read the values. I was gobsmacked the other day to look at one of those waters with a “hint of...” to find it had way more sugar than I would have expected. Not on my drink...

Congratulations, it’s a tough road to walk but clearly has had great outcome for you. I suggest...caution to the wind and all that, a lovely omelette with Parmesan and a glass of decent red wine!

This has given me a good laugh. My partner really likes my stir fry with satay sauce. The noodles are a no no for me so I just got to try the oomi jobbies. Peanut (satay) sauce in the original contains about 2tons of sugar so I have concocted a sauce using xylitol. Not yet checked if beloved is...

I cannot abide anything with artificial sugars. Therefore every drink I have investigated is off my menu due to tastebud revulsion. Plus the artificial sugar additive is often aspartame or one of its alternative names. Banned in USA and simply disgusting imho. So in desperation I make a solution...

Thank you, is this on the main page?

Good afternoon. As a pretty new T2 - and despite being a retired nurse - I find the acronyms (shortcuts for technical words) very confusing at times. Might I suggest a section on the main page which would have a list of the acronyms associated with health care and diabetes? If there is already...

Mmm. I just spent a few minutes in local shop. Not best stocked by any means so I was actually looking for whipping cream which I believe has the least carbs. Didn’t have it so I went for next best low sugar which was single cream. Blonde has absolutely nothing to do with it (she said in a...

kitedoc, I agree with every word of your post. Josh, what can i say? Amongst the professions there are people who are just not up to listening, assume they have nothing to learn and regard a patient who requires more information and support as a pest or a threat to their doctor status. Sadly...

Hello Yvonne, my sympathies for what must have been a very painful and frightening experience. Your doctor has referred you to a neurologist, this is a good thing imho. Some docs would just assume diabetic causation and not bother with follow up. So...easy to say...but try to stop worrying if...

******, the message left out my pictograms of 3 glasses of red wine. Always have a reward, we all deserve it.

Wow...so many issues, thoughts. As a retired NHS nurse, I agree there are many areas of life that attract conflicting opinions. In the NHS you get mostly impartial advice as few - mostly seniors medics - have any commercial interests. Remember GPs are not part of NHS, they are contracted to NHS...

Hello Miko. As others have said, you are young and a new diagnosis of a long term condition with limitations on food choices is a right pain in the butt. You are angry and want to know why me? Join the club. Ok, just to reassure you, there will be many “scientists” working on the diabetes...

Mmmm. Common sense is not common. I loathe water, always have but I know I must discipline myself. So I drink fizzy water and am currently making my own lemon squash which really is not bad if I say so myself. Am also on my first glass of @ decent French red. Reward for walk and the lashings of...
