Does anyone have a tasty recipe for kale please? As we are decorating our kitchen I do not have a hob or oven at the moment. I do have a steamer, slow cooker and microwave plus an enormous bunch of kale. Help. Thank you.

Thanks so much for that Sue. I do have ridges but are not unsightly or infected like the pictures on your link suggest so don't think I have a problem. I will however mention it when I go for my yearly check up next month. Thank you

Thanks Ramola. I shall do as you suggest , no disrespect intended but I was more interested in the medical aspect rather than appearance. ie do the vertical lines mean anything from a medical point of view? regards

If you're having a fasting blood test and you eat your evening meal at about 6 o'clock and the following morning you go for the blood test how much difference will it make to the results whether you go for an early morning test or one round about lunchtime? We have available some 'early bird'...

Do vertical ridges on finger nails have anything to do with diabetes or any other illness or are they just a symptom of old age? Also is there anything I can do to soften my brittle nails? Thanks

Thanks for that Graham. Will have a look. Regards

Thank you both for your replies. I did write a longish message, in reply to yours, clicked on submit and it disappeared from the planet. Basically I had my blood pressure done this morning at an event at the local library designed for retired people. The Police were there, WI, local council etc...

Can anyone please recommend a home blood pressure meter? Thanks

Thanks for both your replies. I have suffered from cold feet since I was a little girl a million years ago. I always had chilblains every winter.until I was 22, I did suffer. then they suddenly disappeared. Haven't a clue why. My circulation is fine. I have a lovely pair of ankle hugging, fur...

It's coming up to the time of the year when keeping my feet warm is a bit of a battle. What I would like to know is, although it is not very pleasant having cold feet does it actually do any damage?

Sorry it's late, i am tired and don't know what to think. Just deflated at the mo. Hopefully tomorrow I will be my usual positive self. Thanks Sue. Good to talk.

really did knock me for 6 with a reading of 9.1. You just get yer confidence up and it smacks you in the face like a wet fish.

yes I drank 500 mlls in sips

Just sort of put me off making a good effort with exercise with a BS reading of 9.1.

No I didn't suddenly feel hot but it was a warm day so I sweated a lot during the day as I do try and set a good pace and always manage to stick to it

Don't seem to be able to get my sugar levels into the 4s and 5s how ever hard I try , they are mainly in the 5s and 6s. Fasting is usually the lower 7s, unless i have a glass of red wine before bed when it comes down a notch or two. Need to experiment there. This morning, the sun was shining so...

If you look around you can usually find a free meter. It's the test strips that require you to take out a second mortgage if you want to keep an eye on what effects the foods you eat are having on your levels.

An after thought. It is not just one day in your life, it is one meal. Enjoy.

I am not really to grips with it all yet BUT it is your birthday, have a great time and eat what you enjoy. It is only one day. As long as you do not have similar occasions too often, just enjoy. Have a great day and forget diabetes. best wishes.
