www.efreebooks.org is also very good. They have a selection of free books available every day from Amazon.

Hi Caroline and welcome to the madhouse lol. Its a great forum with fab members and loads of advice.

I've had this problem but do not take thyroid medication or diabetes medication. My hair problem was lack of iron so you may be anaemic. Worth getting a blood test from your GP.

Hi Shirley, will be checking the videos today or tomorrow. I dont eat cereal of any kind any more - usually have eggs and bacon. I did the linseed bread but thought it was horrible so havent bought it again. All we can do is try our best and it sounds like you are winning the battle. I...

I think that as long as you dont go mad with a plateful of carrots then they are fine. I eat them regularly. The only way to find ouf if they suit you is to test afterwards.

I was also anaemic but my doctor sent me to hospital for checks and ended up with cameras up and down to make sure there wasnt any underlying problems. Thank god there wasnt - nurse told me to think of it as an MOT. I too had to take iron tablets but have to pay for my prescriptions and Boots...

Hi Nanonet Know what you mean, my children are older now but my two sons are still at home. Basically, if I cook a meal I just have the same without the potatoes, etc. If I dont want the same, I just cook something different for myself. I will check everything out at the weekend though when...

Definitely about time - will wait with baited breath to see what the results of this are

Glad you have now received them. I too am watching my carbs but not cutting them out. Have done low carb and its great for bg's but hard to sustain when you have a family (well it is for me anyway) so am testing what I eat to make sure its working out ok. I have still to watch the videos as...

I applied as well, probably about the same time as you and my kit turned up yesterday. Hope yours has now arrived.

I do think that portion control is a good way to go alongside controlling the amount of carbs that you eat. I couldnt eat cornflakes as my bg's would rocket so tend to stick mainly to egg and bacon in the morning as I find this suits me and my bgs. We are all different and some of us can eat...

Slimming world red days are good for diabetics as it does limit the amount of carbs you can eat in a day

I used to suffer really badly with cramp as well. I worked mine back to carbs so try not to have too many. I know from experience that if I go out for dinner and have dessert that I will get cramps so now I just dont bother having one. Vitamin D is supposed to help though as well so perhaps...

If you are doing low carb like atkins, this can be a side effect

Re: Are there any diabetes chefs you know off? I thought the recipes were rubbish to be honest.

Re: Ability to handle carbs at different times of day? I find I'm okay at most times of the day but like you have learnt what I can have and what I cant. I can have two small wholemeal if I have two slices of bacon for breakfast. I can have a casserole (enough for my flask to bring to work)...

Well done and keep up the good work because whatever you are doing its working for you

As Roy says, take a witness with you. Make your notes for and against the employee. You are entitled to your breaks whether you are driving or not and if you arent getting them then they could be breaking your contract so look carefully at your contract and working conditions. Also check your...

I'm okay with new potatoes but have to limited them to say 100g at a time. Find that mash and jackets dont work for me but everyone is different. You need to test and find your own levels. I too found that giving up potatoes was the hardest, couldnt care less about pasta or rice!

I use the codefree - never had a problem with it. The first time I did my blood I used my tester that my diabetic nurse had given me (not allowed any more strips though) and it was exactly the same. So I can definitely recommend it and its by far the cheapest.
