    Easy Lunch ideas

    Hardboiled egg, cheese, cherry toms, few walnuts with a handful of salad leaves. I occasionally have a quinoa ryvita with peanut butter, egg mayo or cream cheese on for something crunchy to eat.

    Tui diabetic flight meal

    Not long haul, but just back from Tenerife with TUI and took my own food on the flight out. Small plastic container with a couple of M&S cheese portions, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, and mini M&S dark chocolate bar. The grandchildren have asked me to make them one each next time we fly.

    Influenza

    I had my flu jab for free in Asda. I've been going there for it for some years now and it it a very different experience than the GP. It is the one I get my prescription from so a friendly face. The chat before and after the jab lasted 30 mins as we sat and gossiped for quite a while. Must say I...

    Confused about test results

    Hi, take a deep breath and wait for Friday. Maybe write down a few questions to ask the GP on the phone and make a quick note of what they say. Have a look round the site to get some idea of questions to ask if the dr says you have pre diabetes or Type 2 diabetes. When you are next back in the...

    Can snacking be bad

    You may normally be getting a higher rise from dawn phenomenon on nights you don't snack and then when you eat something in the early hours it stops it from being so high when you wake up in the morning. Maybe try keeping a cheese triangle or couple of cherry tomatoes on hand instead. In an...

    SDCodeFree "EEE" error message

    My NHS prescribed Trueresult does this from time to time as an error amongst its other failings. My own SD codefree is fine so far.

    System Online - ping whoever was asking questions

    I find getting previous test results a pain. We can only search for 60 days at a time so rather laborious if can't recall the approximate date.

    What is Maculopathy?

    Hi, just curious. Do you have checks prior to the injection? I have Lucentis jabs but have never had any pre jab checks.

    Over 65s Miss Out On 2018 Quadruple Flu Jab

    I get mine done at Asda these days. Gave up trying to book a 3 min slot at the surgery to suit me when working full time. I do tell my surgery as I think Asda and similar take months to pass the info on meaning surgeries can over order the stuff.

    Old Wedding Day Present Idea.

    Made me smile. We went to a huge Woolies in Croydon around 1975 and bought the lot in tangerine. Remember struggling back to the car with it.

    Feeling Very Low

    For a sweet tooth maybe try a 10 cal jelly pot with blob of extra thick double cream with a grated square or 2 of 70% plus dark choc. Couple of raspberries too. I used to keep Oppo ice cream in the freezer but prefer the Breyer ice cream now, especially if half price in Sainsburys.

    Food ( It Gets Worse)

    It can be helpful at the docs to drink water before and remember to breathe long and deep, breathing out more out than in, if that makes sense. [emoji1]

    Fizzy Drinks

    I like the low cals drinks in Greggs - same recipe/factory as M&S but a bit cheaper. When out I will have soda water and a slice of lime that I then squeeze into the soda - usually free too which is always a bonus!

    Consistently High Glucose Readings

    The skin flare up and the treatment can both push up the levels. I would see DN or gp too. You may need some medical support to help with the levels at least until the flare up has settled. Low carb is useful for many but with those sort of levels I would see your gp. Hope it starts to clear soon.
