Nope! Far too much work!* Though I do make sure that it's well-basted in oil or juices already in the pan and, if it's a hot oven, I'll try to turn it once to stop it from browning too much. *Though, seriously, me and pans of hot water shouldn't mix at the moment - I can't reliably lift...

Hey there, @New2T1D - sorry to hear of your difficulties. I have neither T1 nor Coeliac's but I have a couple of coeliac friends who are both avid fans of the following site: https://www.coeliac.org.uk/gluten-free-diet-and-lifestyle/ From what I know (and I'm certain others will be along with...

Hey @romeo21 and welcome to the forum. Firstly, breathe - it's okay. Everything is okay. There is cause for concern from what you've written, but I don't think it's panic-stations yet. Before anyone can really offer some sound advice, can I ask some questions - might be you don't know the...

Hi (again) @AlexMagd ! I'm unable to cook at the moment. I'm not bone-idle (well...), but I can't stand for more than 2 minutes which means I have to zip about the kitchen on an office chair, meaning I can't safely stir pots and lots of washing up is very difficult to get done. On top of that...

Do not under-estimate the power of this drink! (Incidentally, that's called a "Ringi" in my house now. Whenever Euan fancies a cuppa he'll now ask, "Tea, coffee or a Ringi?" Haha :D

You have FIVE chips. You counted them. I'm guessing a lot of people here would consider that a greater feat than having no chips at all: if we don't buy them we don't have to decide to stop eating them. Also: meat. Tesco are currently doing pre-marinated pork chops - Chinese, piri piri and so...

I'm growing rather fond of my TEE2 meter these days :) And remember, @Janjoy32 ask questions about anything and everything you need, even if you just need a bit of reassurance and encouragement. Use and abuse, annoy and enjoy!

Aaw, no, you sound so down! And, look, everyone has food splurge days from time to time - none of us are approaching sainthood. Give yourself a break, eh? Look at it this way, it's taken a long, long time for your body to develop T2D, and you've only been diagnosed for a couple of months...

(Someone far more informed than I will be along shortly but I'll have a welly at this anyway!) My BG levels - assuming I've eaten a "normal" (for me) meal - will be back to normal by my 2-hour test. However, a lot of that will depend upon many other factors including: - How much fat was in the...

Ah-ha! I'm onto something! Something that is, in fact, already well-understood by People Who Are Not Me! I have my homework for this evening - thanks, DD!

They deliver, they forged a clever contract with Ocado and disguise their employees and vans in Morrison's livery!

Oh, he's ticking along! :)

Stop testing her. There is no potential problem. You need help with your anxiety - your daughter's health is fine. Please get someone else to read these words to you.

Hey there, @why397 and welcome! Just wanted to write a quick note to say congrats - you're taking some great steps to controlling your illness and getting those numbers down. But it's a journey we have to monitor on a day-to-day basis and progress might not happen quickly. But it will happen...

Nope! That's what the forum is for, and there's no time-limit on how many questions you ask and how often you ask them. I'm with @Heretic1 - gin (you can get some lovely, super-fancy ones - I'm currently enjoying my time with "Greenall's Wild Berry Gin") with low-cal tonic is just the best. If...

Oh, this is great news! Thank you for spreading the word!

Yours, too <3

Congrats (and thank you) for stepping out of the shadows. I guess us regulars can be something of a rough-and-tumble crew at times, but it's important to remember that none of us knows everything, and so the more people we have adding what they do know into the mix, the stronger our collective...

I think time, patience and consistency (as wonderful as Dr Fung is) are the key. At least that's what I keep telling myself! But, also, we've not been at this very long at all (you 5 weeks, me coming up to 12) and our bodies are still adjusting after years and years of "abuse". I have to keep...

I wonder if it's a fibre issue? I don't know how much is in what off the top of my head, but here's my thinking - - Some veg we eat raw, and they're tasty just like that. Salad veggies, eg - Some veg we cook to make them taste better, and they're otherwise fairly soft - aubergines, mushrooms...
