Thank you.. given the tremendous difficulty I have always had with my blood sugars I am a bit annoyed noone suggested I went on it before.. I can't carry on like this.. I hate myself when my blood sugars high but itll shoot up for really stupid things and today I just kinda snapped and thought...

Remember our doctors take their advice from the pharmaceutical industry who make their gazillions from treating the complications of diabetes. Lower your carbs until your meter readings are normal! It sounds like you are having tons of carbs at the moment.. stick to a low carb diet for a...

Craving carbs is a sign of having too many (just like being diagnosed with T2 diabetes). If you reduce the carbs so you are not producing as much insulin you will reduce your hunger and lose weight. Here is a video I find very informative!

One reason could be too many carbs.. Insulin causes you to store fat and crave more carbohydrate.. If you lower your cab intake so you stop burning sugar for energy but instead burn fat you will find you are a lot less hungry.

I have been T1 for 30 years.. When I was about 15 I had such severe insulin resistance and my diabetes team changed my insulin (they should have told me to reduce carbs but that is another story). I have had extremely brittle diabetes always.. I now know this was insulin resistance and have...

At least you have stopped eating all those bananas and white bread! As long as you continue with this and replace with low carb alternatives your blood sugars will come down pretty drastically! Well done for cutting them out! I disagree unless you are trying to cut out carbs entirely. If the...

It must be really awful to suffer with that condition.. having had diabetes for 30 years and many complications I am so used to hospitals its just an everyday thing now for me.. You have said you won't go to the doctor and I don't want to say that's fine as the symptoms could also be from...

I have always struggled with sleep and just as equally waking up in the morning. I take an amino acid called GABA which is great for sleep and kidney function.. I also have half a mirtazepine but if I forget to take it on holiday I can still sleep with 2 teaspoon of GABA powder, if I forget the...

You are right.. I was on my way out and asked my mum whereabouts in tesco it was and she said it wasn't it was sainsburys.. to be honest though I'm not sorry to tesco as they do exactly the same and its their site I got the example for the petition from from their 'healthy living' range.. but...

I meant to take a picture of it then thought I'd just find it online and couldn't! It was literally 'chicken salad with ranch dressing' but this is apparently one of the largest Tescos so maybe they have a larger range. Next time I go in there I will find it and take a picture. It was almost...

Well my sister and mum were going to Tesco (not a Tesco Express this is a HUGE Tescos in Streatham, London) to grab some food for lunch (sandwiches etc for them) and asked if I wanted a salad or something.. I said I think you will find it difficult to find anything pre-prepared that is low carb...

Taking advice from the food industry.. there are no words. Because I'm petitioning for a change to UK packaging I told me that only uk residents could sign :(

The restaurant thing is the next petition lol I'm trying to keep this one as simple and as easily implementable as possible. If this succeeds then we want the info everywhere! Also why does alcohol not have nutritional info on it? And his brother may just be one of the lucky ones whose sugars...

Ah, sorry you have to be a resident of the UK to sign the petition.

Just wow.. they should be sacked! But that is what the food and pharmaceutical industries would have us believe.. just can't actually get my head around a diabetes specialist saying it!

Im going to try that! I felt a little sick yesterday after necking the ACV so the lemons will probably mask the taste quite well.. When I did a detox last year I drank loads of water with freshly squeezed lemon in (ok I did add a bit of stevia sweetener so not quite as bitter) but I really...

thank you that makes sense! Do you know if this also why my blood sugars rise when I go to the gym (doing weights) and not fall?

Yes I actually would prefer this myself but can you imagine the fight to do so? I'm hoping if we can get carbs added to it (and it should not be colour coded as different people can tolerate different amount of carbs before they have a problem) then it will draw attention to the fact that they...

I started a new regime of drinking a cap-full of apple cider vinegar this week. Today I followed it with a cup of coffee with cream (low carb). I am pretty sure the vinegar curdled the cream (yes on reflection this should've been obvious but I did have a pint of water before the coffee) and I...

Can you tell me what post codes are and I'll call the site tomorrow they called me back today within half an hour so maybe they can tell me what to do if there's a problem.. maybe you could put it at end of name or something and just put one that works but I'll talk to them.. thanks for feedback
