Didnt even know there was such a thing! Will definitely have a look. Also, would just like to thank cherryaa. Her posts are aways interesting and extremely useful and thought provoking. She always provides some links to get me started on research for myself and I am impressed by her posts on...

Hello drummer, and welcome. The only thing I would add to the excellent advice is that along side recording your food in the diary I would also include notes about health and mood. Although there is often not alot we can do about some of these things they do a lot of messing about with blood...

Morning all. 5.6 today.

Another vote for the jelly. I have it witth cream and some berries.

Thanks all for thoughts about my lovely grandson. He looks much better today. When his parents got.to a and e last night they were in a queue of 5 children, 4 of whom had croup. Apparently it is starting early this year, and seems much more severe. Hoping that by the time the steroids wear off...

I think the wrist weights are a great idea. They will add to your work but not put too much pressure on joints. Do you swim?

Morning all. I had 2 mornings today. Up at 02.30 because my grandson had to go to hospital.withI croup. 3rd time in last 8 weeks. He had nebuliser and steroids and he is only 5 months old. I went to look after his sister until they got back from a and e. So at 03.00 I was 4.8. Went back to bed...

Hello peerless. Just read your thread from the beginning. So very impressed. I think stress can significantly increase bgl , and so may have something to do with your higher numbers. I hope that your wife is feeling better today.

I am.so impressed. It must have been even more difficult with gout. My step father had it in one foot and was in agony. To have it in all joints must have been awful. Do you have family support? Mine want me to be healthy but still dont get the lchf thing and keep trying to feed me potatoes!!!

Mmm, I really miss porridge. Will.give this a go. Do you find it a very different consistency?

Hi Donna, may I ask if you were told that as a fact on your course? It is a bit worrying if thats what they are teaching. I am t2 and not using insulin so will not be going on this course. I am doing the xpert course in a few months and wonder if they will be saying the same.

Sorry biggles!!! Crossed post

Idid nights for years. Apoor shift pattern is well known for causing all sorts of health problems. I have not seen any research about t2d, but will have a look. But I don't see why not.

Oh my goodness!! All I can say is wow! My I ask just what prompted you to do this now? You are going so well, what has changed for you? (Of course you have no need to answer such a personal question, buti find other peoples motivation to be very helpful). Have a great day.

Sorry to be a bit stupid here, but can I ask you all a question about the ND? Is the assumption that it doesn't really matter where the calories come from (carbs,fats or protein) it is just how much you eat that is key? And that as long as the weight comes off that is all that counts? I am very...

Morning all. 5.6 today.

5.9 this morning. Thought it would be higher after a stressful time on the motorway last night. I stopped in traffic but the guy behind me didnt. Now got a lovely time spent with insurance. A least we were not hurt but didn't sleep well.

Hello frank. Its a real pain isn't it?. The first week I was dx I thought all I could eat was fruit and porridge and I would inevitably go blind and lose my feet. There seemed little point in changing to such a "restrictive" diet when it wouldn't do any good anyway. And when I did start lchf I...

Morning. 77kgs today froma start of 101kgs in june. We are going to the good food show today which we booked before my dx. Will be looking at it all from a completely different place when compared to the last time I went. And I so much agree with polgara, maintaining is so very difficult. (...

Morning all. 6.1 today. I am off to the london good food show. Dont know if it will be torture or I will see lots of lovely low carb food ideas. Have a feeling it wont be lchf but would love to be wrong!
