KathyCP, I buy my pickled gerkins from the local polish shop. They have the the “kwasznowe” ones and as long as they don’t have “cukier” on the ingredients they should be good to go. X

Turkish coffee. At the local cafe, it’s apparently part of the process to sweeten it before serving up. It was very nice and strong though. X

Ooh Peter, I love it when you have a rant. Was it an extra glass last night? Haha. No offence meant.. I do enjoy your posts, very informative . I have had issues with the sensor a couple of times, and although Libre made me jump hoops when I called them, made me do various readings again and...

I have been doing yoga for 6 years. 3 times a week. I was diagnosed with type2 only last year. So I would say no, it won’t cure diabetes. But it’s great for flexibility and relaxation. X

Thank you

I would love your magic lasagne recipe. I did look over the posts but can’t seem to find it. Would you post it for me? Thank you x

I agree @Grateful. I don’t want to cause alarm. The fact that she is losing weight is a good start. Her BMI is 32 but she is working on it. X

Me too. I had no idea. Not being overweight. Moderate exercise. Med diet most of my life. No symptoms to speak of but here I am, a type 2. Still the positives of eating better carbs made me feel more alert,more energy and generally happier. X

Thank you @Squire Fulwood and @Art Of Flowers Just an update. Since we did the test a couple of weeks ago, she has been on very low carb and following a “Blood Type”diet. ( Not the Blood sugar diet ). She has lost 10ibs in 2 weeks. She saw her nurse yesterday where she had another blood...

I had lunch with a colleague recently. She has not been tested for diabetes. We both had the same food except that she had some flatbread with hers. We then both did a finger prick test about 2 hours after eating, mine was 6.4, but hers was 9.2. Should she be worried? X

Oh do let us know Rachox. I’ve been thinking of cutting down, or even giving up cream, on occasions. Too hard to do as I love cream and love coffee. Together I’m in heaven in the mornings. But this new coffee machine by nespresso - Virtuo - sounds ideal. X

I’m just a look in and go kinda person. Very rarely do I post but I love this forum, and Kristin you are definitely one of my favourites. I don’t know who has upset you or how. Just remember that there are more of us that admire you and your posts. It’s always informative and fun. Your...

That should give the Freestyle Libre some competition. Good to know. X

Very, Thenk you for that x

Yes it's Dr Chatterjee. He has a Facebook page too Good to follow and innovative in his way of thinking. X

What an awful DN. Trust me they are not all like that. Mine purses her lips and stays non commital but I know what she is thinking. I smile knowing I'm a lot slimmer than her too. Have a look at this link https://instagram.com/p/BZLTCwdAQ62/ He's a lovely GP in Bristol and so supportive of...

That sounds lovely. Will try it out. Thanks x

Drool! I've just come back from Greece and filled up on aubergines. My favourite. I just slice and fry mine. X

How accurate is the Codefree? I find there is quite a difference between the Codefree and the Libre when testing my blood sugars. The Codefree always seems a lot higher than the Libre. I know about the 15 minute wait with Libre for testing purposes but don't know which one is more accurate.

Interesting. I was served a 3 shot coffee after my meal yesterday. A mistake as that was really too strong for me. I drank it anyway and my BS was 5.3 which stayed that way most of the afternoon. I'm type 2 so maybe that would be make a difference. X
