Hey thats great, congratulations :) ps. How is your control now? Did you get on the DAFNE course?

15mg of is a relatively small dose for codeine which most people would have no bad reaction too, however it could just be that you are particularly sensitive to it. I cant say Ive ever had feelings of hunger or feelings of weakness/faintness or anything like that even on much larger doses but...

Well at least you can disagree with me without resorting to the ignorant rudeness that Desi did, thank you for that smidge. Many people read this forum and many comments on this forum seem to say that you should not trust your doctor and you should not take their advice and I think that advice...

Have you considered the possibility of working with your doctor and taking the prescribed medication and instead of cutting carbs to a ridiculously low level that will require you to take supplements of vitamins and minerals and become even more sensitive to carbs just reduce the carbs to say...

I bought a copy of this book off Amazon last year and actually thought it was a good read, it offered easy to understand examples of why people mostly overeat and offers several techniques that can be employed to change how we feel about ourselves and our relationship with food. The book comes...

Most diets work if they are stuck to religiously, the problem is most people cant stick to any diet religiously, as others have said you need to work out a diet based on the foods that you as an individual like to eat, that way you are more likely to stick with it and that is the key to both...

Hi dm1983 as xyzzy says original Lucozade has 65.4g of carbs per 380ml bottle so you may well find this too much unless you only sip it whilst running and use the carbs as you burn energy but not to drink post run. The Sports Lite Lucozade only has 10g carbs per 500ml bottle so would be much...

The link you provided merely speaks about small doses and only states that -see above as being safe. Where as the link I referred you to says: "The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a build up of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause symptoms such as poor appetite...

I would seriously urge you to read this link Totto http://www.mayoclinic.org/vitamin-d-toxicity/expert-answers/faq-20058108 Quote from linked page re: Vitamin D toxicity: The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause symptoms...

At the end of the day you have to want to loose weight to loose it, I know that sounds stupid but unless you have the motivation then no diet is going to work for you. I had been overweight for most of my life and tried a couple of times to diet but it never worked and TBH I wasnt that bothered...

Hi Ken, dont know if you are genuine or just trying to advertise the latest wonder weight loss supplement but if I were you I wouldnt waste your money, if you want to loose weight eat less food its pretty simple really :) There are a lot of people on the internet pushing all sorts of rubbish...

Personally I think this advice from your diabetic nurse is sound and spot on, have you actually tried it or at least researched anything to do with slow release carbs and the glycaemic index (GI), foods that dont send your bg levels through the roof and dont increase your sensitivity to carbs...

I certainly didnt get any of those symptoms when I stopped but then I never had heartburn to begin with so I would imagine that your problem may have had more to do with the cause of your heartburn than the actual withdrawal from the drug.

Not sure where I stand on the statin question as I am lucky enough to have naturally good cholesterol levels but one thing I know is that omeprazole is not at all hard to stop taking, I was taking it for over 3 years while on prednisolone to help protect my stomach and just stopped taking them...

Hi Kevin, can you tell me what you mean by "supports healthy blood levels"? Do you mean that it actually lowers blood glucose levels thats fantastic, can you point me to the scientific research Id love to read it...

as usual quoting out of context xyzzy, I did qualify in the post you quoted me from what I meant by highly processed foods "As a general rule though low fat processed foods ie frozen meals/TV diners etc are best avoided altogether". I am well aware of how cheese is processed. Steve you must...

I think if you are trying to lose weight then a low fat cheese may be the better option as it has fewer calories and it is calories that will affect weight loss or not. That said it might be better to avoid cheese in all but small quantities until you have reached your target weight. As a...

Hi and welcome to the forum, I hope you find it useful... Re the phone app problem I dont use the app myself but I am guessing that what you see is an extract of your post perhaps and if you clicked on it the rest may become visible... Like I say I dont know so thats just a guess :)

Hi smiley and welcome to the forum, almost certainly the pred is causing your high bg levels between meals, I was diagnosed T2 having been on pred for 2 years plus and had to be put straight on mdi treatment, thats 'multiple daily injections' of insulin so I was taking a long acting insulin at...
