Just had a late dessert of my lovely wife's gorgeous plum and chia jam with natural yogurt. OMG! Sometimes being diabetic is sooooo hard [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

5.0 for me at 8.30am

Yes I can! Could I scrounge the recipe please?

OK people now here's a challenge for you. Christmas is coming and this will be my first year eating healthier as a diagnosed diabetic. Now I am a super huge fan of Christmas - I love the schmalzy movies, the carols, the lights ... and of course the food. My gorgeous wife has scoured the web for...

Hi @Avocado Sevenfold and I am going to be really cheeky now! Do you have a recipe for that gorgeous sounding Jamaican jerk seasoned bean and veg stew? My wife and I are drooling into our Tommee Tippee bibs here [emoji3]

Hi @Tabbyjoolz. You might consider making a formal complaint with the practice manager. The receptionist has no right and isn't qualified to comment on your medical needs. Over the last few months we had a number of complaints against our old GP practice and we did let our feelings be known...

I would be very cautious before accepting this research. Firstly psychologists argue about what intelligence is anyway. Secondly, one rain doesn't make a monsoon and just because limited research proposes something doesn't make it right. I am sure (given enough funding and I am open to offers)...

Hi @Cranfield and welcome. Boy can I relate to your desire to find a lexicon of what to/ what not go eat. Unfortunately, my understanding of this bizarre illness/ condition (call it whatever you fancy) is that everyone is different. For example, I can eat berries of any kind with no effect but...

Hmm .. what do I miss? Sleeping after meals, incessant toilet stops through the night, being constantly thirsty, guilt about my portions, hiding sweet wrappers, driving in winter with all the car windows open to get rid of the smell of chips. So do I miss anything really? Nah .. and as for...

When I first came to this forum I was an 18st chunky monkey with an unhealthy penchant for chips, donuts etc etc. So, when my GP told me I was T2 it wasn't a huge shock as I had been half expecting the diagnosis for some weeks. Anyway, over the weeks and months that followed, I transformed my...

At the beginning of April this year, I was 18st and my T2 diabetes was running amok (though at the time I didn't know it). By the end of the month I had discovered why I was feeling unwell and it was about them I came to this forum. Today I weighed my self and I am now at my lightest for about...

5.6 today. Not bad as I am in the middle of a house move! Sent from my 4027X using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I play acoustic guitar a lot so I have mine set to max and even then I often have to impale myself a couple of times before the red stuff pops out. [emoji20] Sent from my Hudl 2 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

You get appointments? I haven't seen or heard from my GP practice since I was diagnosed. Not that I am complaining - the last time I heard from them they were a complete waste of space. I am moving to the South West in a month so here's hoping my new GP is better. I won't hold my breath. Sent...

For a chance to see La Boheme again I would cheerfully wear a dress and let you call me Daphne. Unfortunately other opera goers might notice my full beard and question both your's and my sanity [emoji5][emoji5]

Thanks all. Yes, it has been a spectacular day and really quite extraordinary. Just to add to it, my son is visiting and play a game called Pokemon Go on his phone. I confess I had never heard of it but this evening I have been driving him around town so he can collect these monsters. Tonight he...

Well most years on my birthday I have "enjoyed" pizza, curry, chips, or some equally unhealthy options. Today has been vastly different. Instead of concentrating on eating I have spent the day birding. A wonderful day with lots of great photos, no sugar spikes and no indigestion!!! So instead...

Good on you! I was diagnosed a month later and weighed myself today .. I am now down from almost 18st to 14st 11lbs!!!! I feel lighter(no surprise there), healthier and cleaner because of a LCHF diet. I have yet to have a second HbA1c yet, but estimates would put it at 38 (down from 55). Keep...

Welcome @bencurto hope you are well too. We're a pretty friendly bunch and I am sure you will enjoy it here. Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
