Andy I have had type 2 diabetes for 15 years and am overweight. I do not low carb and my exercise is walking a very small dog for 20 mins a day. My retinopathy checks are always clear and I have no macular degeneration. How then do I fit into your statement that if I am diabetic some...

Here is a link concerning Tresiba use in Wales: http://www.awmsg.org/awmsgonline/app/appraisalinfo/840 Hope this helps Doug

Warning - I tried Yorkshire puddings with it.....Please don't make that mistake!! Doug

I can only echo Anie's advice. Any changes you can make for the better are good. Take it at a pace that your hubby can manage without rebelling against all that needs to be done to reduce his blood sugars. If he perseveres then he will be helping to preserve his employment. He should have...

Given Figgywiggy's diet, this link may be helpful: http://www.pulsecanada.com/uploads/cc/4d/cc4d808b3ed8584bbda594e400274d38/11-Oct-5-Diabetes-fact-Sheet-FINAL.pdf Pulses seem to be a reasonable choice. Regards Doug

It is well to check on your own medical circumstances. It is dangerous to make such sweeping statements about vitamin consumption without knowing anyone's personal medical circumstances. Regards Doug

Lilyfleur Like you say, it is past the time for us to agree to disagree on whether we are intolerant to carbs or whether our issue is with glucose. Much has been said on either side and we run the risk of going round in circles. Thanks one and all for an interesting debate. Regards Doug...

Why does it not surprise me where you found your quote Tweetypie. Did you really expect it to be any different? Doug

Hi Mo I would not need to infer that a carb intolerance is an enzyme issue because it is. I can digest carbs no problem as I have no enzyme problem. It matters because saying that people with Type 2 have a carb intolerance is plainly not true unless they have had carb intolerance (their ability...

No it is nothing like the meaning of life. Why would you infer that you have an intolerance to carbs (an enzyme issue) when in fact you have not. The problem with those with Type 2 diabetes is that they are not able to deal efficiently with the products of the digestion of carbs not their...

Abdominal pain can be a sign of pancreatitis. Symptoms of acute pancreatitis may include: Upper abdominal pain that radiates into the back; patients may describe this as a "boring sensation" that may be aggravated by eating, especially foods high in fat. Swollen and tender abdomen Nausea and...

Tim One of the problems of this thread is that people are being loose with terminology. It might be easier of all to understand if we stuck to accepted meanings. Food intolerances are enzyme not hormone problems. Regards Doug

Hi Sunshine11 You might want to do some research on which carbs are simple and which are complex. This might help: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/biochemistry/carbohydrates-in-food.html Regards Doug

We seem to have a lot of people who are saying that they are carb intolerant and yet they are on a low carb diet. So they can tolerate carbs but it may be the type or quantity that is the issue - not the tolerance. I am Type 2 and I eat carbs in sensible quantities and have good glucose control...

Hi Trickytish You might want to check with your GP to see if any other arrangements are made for diabetic eye screening in your area. In my area, the screening is done at a local health centre. Regards Doug

Hi Bigal134 There is no indication of the publication of the human study in a peer-reviewed journal and the conclusion of the researchers was that it deserved further evaluation - not use!! Regards Doug

Hi Jinty1 I hope that you get information that will help you. It is possible that your diabetes and lupus are connected as both are auto-immune diseases. Take care
