Shortly after joining this forum I received a weeks suspension from the moderator Cugila (Ken) I didnt like it and I felt aggrieved but I didnt bleat about it on the forum afterwards, IMHO that is very bad form, just get over it. I also received a "warning" shortly after the new mods were...

Sorry but Ive never heard of "mindfulness" in terms of a treatment till I googled it,,,,,,although I do have some small knowledge of meditation and relaxation techniques which are easy to learn, I was first introduced to its effects following a back pain rehab clinic and since by reading about...

Yes I do, all the supplements that people buy from so called health food shops and other dubious sources, none of them have any "listed" side effects at all due to the fact that they have never been subjected to any scientific tests or trials like prescription drugs ;)

Private messages (PM's) or conversations call them what you like should be as the name suggests "PRIVATE" and it is very bad form to post one to the open forum. If you receive a PM that you feel is inappropriate then forward it to a moderator or Giverny thats what they are there for. To post...

The reason so are so many "unhappy fat people", as you call them, is that greed is so often followed by guilt. It becomes a vicious circle, people eat because they are depressed/down/bored or just plain unhappy and then feel guilty because they have eaten too much, their guilt then makes them...

Hi Tigger, dont beat yourself up over this and try not to pay your evil friend any attention. Coming to terms with this condition can be hard at times but Im sure you will get there.

Strangely I used to love them but now find them far too sweet and sickly but I suppose my taste buds have changed. Maybe its the same as years ago when I used to have 3 sugars in tea and coffee then one night I was working a night shift and we had ran out of sugar and milk so I drank black...

Perhaps you would care to look at these two polls that have already covered the reduced carb diets with much more straight forward questions too. Do you follow the advice on reducing carbs given to the new members on this site...

You ask for the views of members on the views on the advice we received when newly diagnosed but then in the poll you ask "Do you think that the importance of reducing the total amount of carbohydrates eaten needs to be made more clear by health care professionals to newly-diagnosed diabetics?"...

What a stupid remark to make.... Not everyone on this forum thinks a high fat diet is a good idea and I am one of them, time and time again people eating a high fat diet end up with disastrously high cholesterol levels. Fat doesnt need to be avoided but should not IMHO be increased. Oh and I am...

That desert looks magnificent Riri, but is it sitting on a slate or a huge bar of dark chocolate? :)

Sorry to hear this Enclave but I wish you the best of luck for a negative test result on your retest. Fingers firmly crossed..

The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Program is offered every two years to everyone between the ages of 60-69 who are registered with a GP in England. And they are starting to extend the screening age range to include those aged 70-74. The results should be returned within two weeks. The program aims...

ps. does the annual rise in tax on alcohol stop people from drinking? Of course it doesnt it just makes money for the government and so will this stupid tax. But it could well start another divide in our society the Government have already set the workforce against those on benefits now they...

I cant see it helping at all, it will do nothing to stop people stuffing their faces with packets of crisps and cakes made with sweeteners will it? Surely education is best and to start telling the truth about low fat processed foods.....

Hi Lisbet, I would think that the DVLA are only concerned with whether or not you suffer any serous hypos rather than the method of testing, the tools you choose to use are a mater of choice and cost but it is only the results that matters to them, ie whether you have suffered a serious hypo...

I think its largely down to personal taste. I have never had an Apple product and wouldnt on principal regardless of price as they want their customers to do everything their way with their software which is fine if you just want a phone/tablet/computer that works well and dont mind paying the...

Interesting diet suggestions and almost identical to the diet that I have eaten for the last 5 years and one that has brought my bg down from 29 mmol/L and an hba1c of 12.6% to 5 years of hba1c's in the 5%'s. And I also lost 4 stone in the first year although I was much stricter then and drank...

A good post phoenix and one that has made me at least realise how lucky we in the UK are for our NHS I hate to think what would have happened to me a 7or 8 years back when my medical problems started, had it not been for the free intensive care unit I was admitted to for 14 days at an average...

Talk about double standards!!! Its fine when you tell us all that scales are useless but we all need callipers but when douglas asks whats wrong with scales and a mirror he is trying to start an argument...... As usual a total lack of moderation allows a bully to continually attack a member who...
