    Socks

    Softhold is one range that is sold in shops and online but they can be pricey. Would the shorter cuff ones suit you for the summer? Just make sure that there are no rough toe seams or wear them inside out.

    Lidl HP rolls - call to arms!

    The Facebook page of Lidl UK posted a message around 1pm today re their donuts. They want us to help choose a new flavour tomorrow. There are numerous comments on the post re the demise of the high protein rolls. A good time to give them our thoughts! If possible I shall be suggesting them as...

    85% dark chocolate

    Hi, is the Ocado product the right link? Much more carbs and sugar shown than the 85% Lindt. Thanks

    So cunfused about levels! Please help

    Hi, the blood test at the hospital will be able to check the bloods from the last 3 months - from one small sample. It will give you a much more accurate result if anything is up. The results will generally be available within a day for the glucose test. Hope he feels more like himself soon.

    Type 2 Help crushing pills

    Hi, I used to be the same but am now ok. Can you practise using tic tac sweets or something similar? Most doctors would say it is all in the mind unless you are struggling to swallow everyday food. Just use a small amount of water and drink normally and not a huge gulp.

    Extra weight during pregnancy linked to earlier onset of puberty in girls

    Purely personal observation but I have noticed that if a girl around 10ish carries extra weight then they tend to enter puberty earlier than someone carrying less weight.

    Sugar Free Drinks at Brewers Fayre

    Our local Marstons now has Pepsi Max on draught. Standard Pepsi can only be bought in the very expensive glass bottles. Fine for me but husband is not a happy bunny.

    back on it

    I'm with you on the cauliflower, but have noticed my taste buds have changed over the last few years and I can now tolerate small amounts. I do like the 'green rice' from Iceland if after microwaving it is then turned into a stir fry with salmon and a knob of butter. A granddaughter (11) puts me...

    RIP Lidl High Protein Rolls

    I wonder if they could be persuaded to remarket them as low carb rather than high protein. An increasing number of food items mention low carb in the labelling. Would be a shame for them :) to miss out on the sales.

    High HbA1c

    Hello, has he tried the high protein triangular shaped rolls from Lidl? - if near one. Filled with cheese and salad they are very filling. As he likes cheese maybe have that for 'afters' a couple of times a week and see how that goes. Just don't go mad with the crackers.

    Metformin (Biguanides) and Adrinal Gland

    @hichamgsm As Brunneria has said, articles taken from books and websites must be referenced. Just search online for Harvard referencing websites and there are free easy systems to use.

    LIdl Rolls

    They are still showing on their website and the weight interestingly is minimum 85g. No shortage locally luckily.

    Exercise bands

    I have had dodgy knees for years and took myself off to see a local physio recently. She recommended/supplied them and I do the exercises when necessary. Lots of videos on youtube but I stick to the ones she taught me. I don't think they would have much effect on blood levels.

    LIdl Rolls

    Plenty of rolls here in Bedfordshire, although they were definetely the smallest I have seen them. The guy in the section was not aware of any shortages. I wonder if Lidl stocks by area. PS their posh bacon was delicious in a Lidl roll - none of that sloppy, liquid stuff when it was cooked..

    Only walking high on sugar and over leafing painkillers (codeine). Afraid to eat or walk.

    Hi, a relative has a long wait for a scan, I found online that there is a company that does for £99 apparantely within a week or so. Haven't gone down that route yet so can't vouch for them but looked positive: https://www.ultrasound-direct.com

    Diabetes on Jeremy Vine show earlier today

    Probably about three-quarters through his programme, when Vine and he have a quick chat about what's coming up. I wasn't sure if it was in the public domain that he has Type 2 or he was disclosing due to Vine's comments. I think the latter. See what you reckon.

    Diabetes on Jeremy Vine show earlier today

    I didn't hear the discussion but did hear Ken Bruce saying to Vine earlier that he has type 2 as does most of his family. He disagreed with the excess weight/food theory. Perhaps they should have included him in the actual debate.
