Well done Maura xx Success stories like yours certainly do inspire others to keep striving to get in the happy place you are in now and not to give up, even when it seems like a struggle so thank you for sharing with us xxxx

Well you've come to the right place leigh. There are so many inspiring posts on here and always someone about to help or just listen if you need a rant. Have a read about how others have achieved good blood sugar levels and you might get some ideas that would help. I do understand how hard...

Oooh yes, it was shocking. Wondered why they kept saying "contains shocking scenes" and now I know. Wasn't expecting projectile vomiting of blood. Messy. And is Lady Mary the only one who doesn't know about Marigold? That's going to put her aristocratic nose out of joint (not that it takes...

Hi @Vipankhetarpal You have my utmost admiration for staying on track and in control. We have a family member with Schozephrenia and it's hard to have a normal conversation with him, let alone him holding down a job. He doesn't have diabetes and I dread to think how he'd cope as I'm sure he's...

I goofed this morning. I know bananas are off limits but I saw a nice easy breakfast recipe which was 1 mashed banana combined with 2 beaten eggs and just fried in small portions. I am trying different things because I know some people are more tolerant to some carby things than others but...

It depends on your results and what meds they may give you whether you are given a monitor or not. If they start you off on Metformin they probably won't give you one as you don't get hypos on that so they don't consider it necessary to test. Things like Gliclazide can lower your sugar levels...

I think it was totally wrong and unnecessary. I thought in this day and age of everyone wanting to sue for something, most GPs would (or should) request that a nurse was present at any examination that involved exposing intimate parts, for their own protection and you would certainly have been...

Maybe because I was eating a lot of fortified cereals and bananas. Yes, I have taken that on board from a previous post Thank you x

miserable with streaming cold

I went off the Lidl rolls for a while after singing their praises. I just found that even half made me feel bloated but I read on here that someone manages to slice them into 3 and that works for me. Might sound a bit extreme but even less carbs and no bloated feeling after so thank you...

Thank you - that's reassuring xx

I'm using Myfitnesspal and logging all the foods I eat but never really got to grips with all the other stuff on there until the other day when I found that under "Reports" there is a drop down menu, under "Weight" that calculates your Potassium, Cholesterol, Vitamin A, C, etc. and I was shocked...

I'm funny with chocolate. I'm definitely not a chocoholic and wouldn't buy it normally but if it's there, as in the tins you buy at Christmas just to look festive, I would scoff my way through loads just because they're available. Won't be buying any - simples ... lol.

Sounds a good plan @Chook A bit of forward planning is definitely what's needed to avoid temptation. I know my appetite has reduced since doing this diet so there won't be any gorging on stuff just because it's there. Never been a great fan of Xmas pud, I will miss the mince pies a bit but I...

Hi Macfee. Glad to see you are feeling more positive and hopefully on your way to taking control of what doesn't have to be as bad as you may think at first. xxx Good luck and keep us posted on how you're doing xxxx

A very surprising 4.8. Usually in the 6s.

Aww bless you. Fear not, you have come to the right place. I'm sure @daisy1 will be along to give you all the information about how you can take control of the diabetes, lose the weight and start feeling good about yourself. It's a lot to take in but if I can do it anyone can. Please stop...

:D The first line just popped into my head but it took a little while to think up the rest, i.e. trying to keep along the same lines as the original so it would fit the tune. Love the idea of sending it to your doctor :D :D

I’m dreaming of a low carb Christmas Not like the ones I used to know Where the iced cake glistened The pudding was christened And I never thought of saying “no” I’m dreaming of a low carb Christmas Counting the carbs with every bite. May our feasts be tasty and light And may all our...

I've only started lchf this year so probably there have been threads about this before but I can't find any through "search". How do you all deal with the temptations? Christmas dinner, I guess just leave out the roast potatoes and stuffing, have plenty of turkey and veg. None of the usual...
