This is going to be so difficult, I'm practically number blind... And I thought Slimming World was hard to figure out. (I'm just on tablets, doing the diet part myself and have been since before diagnoses.) This is another darned good reason not to wait for the health service to sort out their...

I'll remember to put on a good performance of "poor ole me". Lol! Thanks for the advice.

Got the vat off but didn't know about the discounts - ah well...

Oh carbs, right. A recently bought "Madeira Chicken" from Asda was 5.9g per 100g carbs, so that would be a test and see one, right? But what about food you make yourself, how do you know what that is? Like I made Turkey bolognaise, with - obviously - turkey mince, and a carton of chopped toms...

Hi all, I've only recently joined the Diabetes forums, and have been asking a few questions that were worrying me so up to now I didn't make time to introduce myself, well it's about time I remedied that. My name is Fran, my online 'handle' is FranOnTheEdge. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic on...

Thanks everybody, I get it now. I've taken the plunge (and it does feel like a plunge!) and just ordered one of those Codefree meters from Amazon - should be here end of next week. I feel much like I did when I was diagnosed - scared!

Yes, I saw that on Amazon, but I already got another app called "MyFitnessPal" supposed to scan barcodes of food packaging in supermarkets but I can't figure out how to use it... sigh.

Er... 5% what? (sorry but I'm very new to all this) I like the bit about the chocolate, I find that helps me sleep better and sometimes through the night.

Oh I see! Thanks, now I get it.

Oh I thought a previous message said you had to do it in the first couple of months, that's a relief!

Um... Loved that list, printed it out, now then... I was just wondering if there's a list of things NOT to buy? That would be really handy, might save a lot of money too!

I've found a page where I'm offered a free one touch verio: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/promotions/verio-giveaway.html?ref=lcp Plus I've also received an email from someone called "Charlotte" seemingly from diabetes.co.uk with that logo at the top but actually from this email address...

I see. I can also see that there's a lot I don't know about diabetes.

Hello, new here, well yesterday I had: B: Whole meal Toast (with butter) D: Turkey Bolognaise (made myself so no sugar or fat or anything bad) (made with turkey mince, carrots tomatoes (carton ready chopped), and red kidney beans. Plus on the side: spinach, peas, sweetcorn, leeks and a baked...

Good heavens, you can eat Kendal mint cake? That's just pure sugar, I thought that's the thing that I had to avoid like the plague now? Well it probably is for me, I guess people are always different.

I'll have to investigate it.

Oh okay Finsky. I'd like to at least make it better - I just hate these pills, they have made it so hard to get out of the house with any confidence.

Yes, so many have said this that I think I'm getting the message now. It's just the how.

Thanks Liam1955.

Thanks Daisy1.
