Activity is a problem for me as I have a long standing back problem and my knees aren't great. Even gentle walking causes me considerable pain. I did dig out my air-walker thingy and started off doing a bit on there but I'm afraid this computer is too darned interesting so I tend to sit a lot...

I hear what you're saying and I know it makes sense. It is just all about the BS really but I've struggled with my weight for years and never managed to stick to anything for long but the diabetes gave me a big incentive and I was looking forward to trimming down being as I committed...

I know you're right Geoffers :( I just had a melt down today. Once more unto the breach .. and all that.

Thank you x I wouldn't mind if I had even had a "lost a lot" phase but apart from the initial loss of water I presume I haven't :(

So .. really fed up now. Some people said "eat more fat" and others said "you don't have to load it on" so I did a week of eating hardly anything on the premise that even if I wasn't doing to LC/HF diet, given that I've cut out so much sugar and not had a single forbidden thing I must surely...

Yes just the website as I haven't got a "fancy" mobile. (See, that's old age talking) ;) Thanks for the info. I will tackle it again when I feel a bit more up to it. I did that "Add Food" thing yesterday and managed to put a day's food in but it was slow starting from scratch. I know it...

Hi, thanks for asking x yes blood sugar was down to 6.4 later. I didn't realise that 1 cheapy sausage and some tinned tomatoes could cause that much of a spike as I've had the same breakfast before but didn't test so soon after so wouldn't have have known. The spaced out weird feeling...

@AndBreathe Yes, I was doing it under My Meals because that's what I found when playing around with it. I don't know what adding to the database means but I haven't had a chance to check. I did just pluck 40g carbs out of thin air because I didn't really know what to put in there. Not having...

@AndBreathe Thank you x Yes I can see that it's very good for getting a guide to what you're having in the way of calories and carbs, etc. It told me yesterday that I had only had 900 calories and that was including my milk in tea. I aimed for 40g of carbs and I got a -18 so I assume that...

Thanks everyone xxx - I've still got a lot to learn, I know. Just taken me a couple of hours to work out that myfitnesspal app. I think it would drive me nuts. It doesn't have the options I want as to portion size in the food diary. Got a headache now ;) Might tackle it again tomorrow. :D

Thank you. It seems popular so I will check it out xx

So, I went for my pill review (just routine on my Blood Pressure pills etc. as they won't let you have any more until you have the review every so often) and I expected a bit of a struggle regarding my not taking the prescribed Gliclazide but I saw a locum and she was so nice. I told her about...

Yes, I have been very strict and wouldn't dare eat anything on the forbidden list, no cheats or anything. I'm kinda confused because some advise more fats to see weight loss and Geoffers has said count calories. My brain is going into overload I think :(

I have to admit that I haven't even considered calorie counting. I'm still getting into my stride with the low carbing and assumed that calorie counting was pointless due to the high fat. I still have a lot to learn obviously. x

Must get off here or I'll be late for Drs Appt. Be back later x

Yes, that's what I have been doing til I ran out of everything. I'm T2 as well.

No, I thought it was only for Mobiles and I haven't got a fancy one, just one that receives and makes calls and texts etc. I haven't got a clue about calories and targets. I just followed the LC/HF diet blindly really.

Surprise! I'm still here :D I never even lost any weight :( Thanks for all your advice. I think I need to eat more to get my metabolism shifting? I've been low carbing for about 2 months now and (as I have said in my post One Month Into Low Carbing) I had an initial drop of 8lbs (water?)...

My brother-in-law who is diabetic got a small sore on the sole of his foot. It wouldn't heal and he was in so much pain that 3 times we took him to A&E. Unbelievably, they never even looked at it on 2 occasions. Just sent him home with pain killers. It wasn't til he had a podiatry appointment...

I know it's stupid but due to unforeseen circumstances I haven't been able to go shopping and today I literally run out of all my LC/HF standbys. I thought we were going shopping this afternoon so I just had a brunch of half Lidl's HP Roll with tuna mayo on it. But then we couldn't go so come...
