People are used to me now . They know I won't touch sugar or any carbs when I am anywhere. I am very strong willed and my incentive is that I want to stay off meds for as long as possible. I have managed for 6 or 7 years now and basically the only time my fasting BS goes over 6 is when I am ill...

Irish Yoghurts Diet - delicious flavours, no sugar and on special at Tesco at £1 for a pack of 4!!

You poor thing. You could try refusing to eat what they give you except low carb/low GI foods. Pizza = only eating the top!! I presume you can find cheese in the house and eggs + veg/salad + fruit. Here you have the basis of a low carb meal that you can cook yourself. Buy peanuts to snack on...

Thanks for the tip about Amazon. I bought 2 packet in the Buy one get one 1/2 price in H&B last week but haven't tried them yet. The H&B offer ends today Tuesday!!

How do I find it? Thanks. It's OK I did a search and found it!!

I buy my ingredients for my homemade muesli from a local health food shop. Goji berries can be expensive - I buy them when I am in the far East and Coco nibs I buy on special offer . Cooperative organic supermarkets are the best place for these sort of ingredients if you have one near you. BTW...

My low carb which I have done for the last 6 years is also low GI and that is what makes the difference. Yes you can eat carbs but make them low GI ones (and small quantities). I eat cereal for breakfast but I make my own in a very large tin and have a 4 tablespoon measure :- Oat flakes (the...

Yes fruit is high carb (except berries) BUT if you eat fruit within a meal not on its own the sugar takes longer to be absorbed and you can get away with it. Eat fruit on its own and your blood sugar will spike. Also even worse are fruit juices - stay away from them. With the whole fruit you get...

I have been doing it for about 6 years and it has worked for me. It is as if I have reversed my diabetes except as I said my numbers go up if I have a cold or flu I am in Southport so please PM me if you want to get in touch.

Julie54 - Please don't worry about me!! Firstly because I test I know exactly what my blood sugar is up to so I am quite safe!! Unless I am ill my fasting blood sugars are <5.5 although at the moment can't get them down from 6 since I had raging toothache last weekend and a root canal treatment...

I live in Southport and would love to know of a GP who recognises what I have been doing successfully for years. I have got my BS down to normal levels and the only time I realise that I really am still diabetic is when I get a bad cold or flu when my blood sugar goes up and nothing will bring...

I control on diet and exercise , no meds but my itching is the soles and sides of my feet, particularly in the evening. I have been diagnosed with psoriasis - never had that in my life before so I am not convinced!!! I also have the peeling skin on my fingers and the palm of 1 hand. I keep my...

Last weekend (a week ago) I had horrendous toothache . Naturally my fasting sugars went up about 1.0 more than usual. On Monday I had root canal treatment and now have a temporary filling in. My fasting bloods have still not come down. I am bothered I might have an infection as although I am in...

I really feel for you especially as I never know from month to month if I will get my prescription for strips. Basically was presdcribed strips in 2007 and have put in a repeat prescription ever since and have got it. I have been forgotten at the Doctors as I never go near them!!! I don't...

I bought 100% black bean noodles once but unfortunately I can't remember where I got them. I reckon buckwheat noodles are fine occasionally for me. It's not just the carb content but how low GI they are that is important.

Why not just buy Meridian peanut butter that contains peanuts and nothing else in it!! H & B and health food shops sell it.

I'll try that recipe. Thanks . I have seen the flax in Aldi but I thought it was one of their one off special offers. Good to know it is still there. I bought some unsweetened Almond milk from Asdathis week . It was only £1.05 and tastes very acceptable against the unsweetened soya milk (the...

Just bothered that all that flaxseed will have me on the loo for days :)

OK Slesser1 - please give us the recipe and tell how you get slices!!

I never liked white pap anyway. I buy Burgen which is low GI and very tasty. I am also a label checker ad Burgen beats the lot. Also I buy the delicious baked in local bakery something they call low GI bread which is brown seeded bread. The mix is just sent to the bakery soit is worthwhile...
