@Dickensfan, low carbing is the way to go for me and I suspect you. I have yo yo dieted all my adult life and went through various fitness stages. Seriously, look at your carbs, they are sneaky wee buggers and are in most processed food. I was quite severe in cutting out carbs and the weight...

Eggs, fried in coconut oil, scrambled with butter, poached, any way you can think of. Once you get rid of the bread, you don't miss it!

Remember to check after your meals, about an hour and a half to two hours. That will tell you what foods have what effect on your BS. If something spikes your blood, you have to let go of it, it really is that simple. Please don't beat yourself up about being overweight and diabetic, I too went...

and it will be some drivel about golf, cricket or bloody Stargate. Throw buns at him.

Someone has to!

I don't eat cereal, it is processed food masquerading as something healthy. The manufacturers should be shot! (but then I can be a wee bit extreme when it comes to food and health). I cannot see past eggs for breakfast, boiled, poached, fried in coconut oil, scrambled, baked in a rancho huervo...

@Dickensfan, it might be worth persevering with other tests and investigations. A few months after I was diagnosed I was admitted to hospital with back problems which turned out to be infectious abscesses on my spine. Now, I am within the 'normal' blood sugar range but still continue with low...

Thank you, that will be used, probably a lot!

Ohh, do you have the recipe for the walnut pate? Sounds very yummy.

I am trying that one, found it a bit guddly though. I shall persevere! Thank you

I am hoping someone will be able so suggest a decent but free online calorie and carb checker/calculator. Having looked at a few already tonight which needed registration to access then discovered they were no use to me. I want to calculate the calorie and carbohydrate values of ingredients...

Sorry to hear of your redundancy. I would recommend looking into further education. The government wants us to work longer before we retire so a change of career is something to consider. Here in Scotland we can get funding for living expenses, ok we have to pay it back, but the upper age limit...

Having lost a lot of weight since my diagnosis a year ago, everything is cold!

I haven't read all the posts here, will get round to it, promise. This may have been mention but Michael Mosely (he of 5:2 fame) has brought out a blood sugar diet book, quoting Prof Roy Taylor and other research. It is like Prof Taylor's regime but with real food, which I would much prefer...

In Scotland, you can access Diabetes records online. However they have recently changed systems and there seems to be a glitch with mine.

My HbA1C number was 41, which is just normal. Also officially discharged from my outpatient clinic today. I shall miss my consultant as he has been a huge part of my life this past year. However, he seems to be appearing in my rather odd and vivid dreams these days. I am hoping that is just a...

A bit of an update, at GP appointment last week and had some bloods taken. My inflammatory markers are almost normal, which I am very pleased about. I also asked for my blood sugars to be checked as the hospital had taken me off my Metformin. The result is my blood sugar level does not indicate...

David Clapson, whose sad death we have discussed before on these boards did not have an inquiry. His sister has launched a crowdfunding appeal to raise funds in order to appeal to the Attorney General. I thought this would be of some interest to you guys...
