I can manage porridge just a very small portion at the weekends but I have it with cream poured on it instead of milk. Delicious.

Mine were always high in the heat till I started the LCHF. I presumed it would be the same this year. Big mistake. I had 4 hypos on holiday in Lanzarote the first fortnight in June, and 3 near misses!

I was switched to tricare needles as they are cheaper. However it was the 6mm ones but I requested they changed them to 4mm. They are better. I still think the BD needles are the best though.

I have an appointment with a podiatrist every 4 weeks privately, but it only costs me £10 every time she visits so I am obviously getting a bargain. She cuts my toenails, removes hard skin etc moisturises my feet and inspects my feet for any damage. Brilliant service.

I grind my beans fresh every morning rio oro and use a cafetere. I like it best and no faff with pods etc. I also like kopi luwack but it is a rare treat. Blue mountain and Kenyan are also good. I find it works out a l

Does he like Greek yogurt and berries? You could sweeten it with a little stevia.

The SD code free and the tee2 seem to be what people buy when they have to fund their own strips.

Boots sometimes has them at 40% off so you should watch out for those. Some people purchase some from eBay but you have to be careful. Check they are well within date and unopened and in original cartons.

Occasionally Boots do accu-chek items with about 40% off. I stock up then.

I had a lovely one last week. The problem was I couldn't decide what to do first! Should I go make a coffee with cream and eat something or should I take the gluco juice first. Managed to text husband and he told me to take the juice first! Sometimes you just can't decide which is what I find a...
