@devonshiredumpling , please do not let what this nurse said get you down. I am like the others surprised you are not on medication, please go and see your GP about it. The LCHF lifestyle worked for me, brought down my Hba1c down from 72 to 43 in three months. It is currently 41 (Feb 2016) and...

They will be tailored to suit our top 1% and corporate greed with the present government. The UK does have a veto you know.

With a conservative government? I hardly think so, they have already said they would change human rights and get rid of 'red tape'. This so called 'red tape' is usually there for a reason and that is to protect us.

The 'interference' of upholding human rights is a GOOD thing.That kind of interference I like.

Do you think 'our' rules will be any better?

Good morning everyone. 5.5 this morning for me. This is day two of my new regime, my own version of Newcastle/Blood Sugar Diet.

I never buy shop bought salad dressing as mentioned above they have emulsifiers and all sorts of strange sounding ingredients. My technique is a bit technical, I put some olive oil and raw cider vinegar in an old jar, add seasoning and herbs and give it a shake. Not for everyone but is very...

I eat my spinach raw, just give it a wash first.

I use my NutriBullet every day. A spinach and apple juice daily usually, sometimes ring the changes with kale and pear. I also have a great food processor and blender which does not make drinks. Very few blenders can handle kale. The NutriBullet is also great for making Nut Roast and milling...

@Dickensfan, cannot help you regarding the allergies, perhaps someone else has some information or experience. Please do not let being diabetic drag you down. All you have to do is change a few simple but ingrained eating habits, that is to drastically reduce your sugar intake and carbs...

Hi LadyV, you will find all the information you need here and some wonderfully inspiring people. Atkins is low carb, I did a vegetarian version and if I remember correctly the only veg allowed was brussel sprouts and mushrooms, I hate mushrooms. I could have fried cheese though. Low carb, high...

You have much better resolve than me @jimandtonic!! I would be playing one for you, one for me with the doughnuts. I would recommend buying a meter and testing. GPs are not always up to date with everything and this is often the case with diabetes. It is your health, not his. Take control.

I received an update to this by e-mail today and thought you may be interested. Thank you to all who wrote to MPs and contributed to the crowdfunding...

I am afraid it is not just the 'white stuff', wholemeal bread, pasta and rice are pretty high on carbs. If your diet was high in carbs before, I think you will find low carbing an eye opener. Cashew nuts spike a lot of people, I usually avoid them. Lots of veg grown above ground, so broccoli...

5.4 today and feeling back on track.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise that you have time to look at your food intake before seeing the doctor. Go on, confuse him with lower blood sugars. Tons of advice on here, read the forum (or is it fora?), ask questions, lots of people here walking the walk. Their advice is too good to ignore.

You may find that low carbing gives you the same if not quicker weight loss. I am shortly going on the Michael Mosely Blood Sugar Diet which is based on the Newcastle Diet. As a vegetarian however I cannot just follow what is written down. My diet tends to be a mixture of different regimes and...

The places who don't have suitable food don't deserve my patronage, it is that simple. Have supplies handy if you are unsure what is available, lots of suggestions above. I will say, after a couple of weeks of low carbing I couldn't face another Babybel cheese.:yuck:
