I cut out a top 2 years ago and have never done any more. I would like to take it with me when we go to Northern Cyprus in a week - but my garden is also in desperate need of weeding - will I get it done and if I do, will I like it ......... Not very good at sewing as I haven't done any for...

Yes I think they were 11s. It is mainly couching so quick and easy - good thing as I'm not very expert, but it turned out well. Thank you for your kind comments Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

Trying to find the time to do some sewing etc, but this is a Christmas tree decoration I made for last year. Surprisingly easy and I loved doing it Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

I was in the same position just a couple of months ago - I've been type 2 diabetic for 13 years but because I couldn't tolerate metformin any more I've gone on to a basal insulin injection - one every 24 hours. Because of this I changed to a community diabetic nurse and she mentioned carbs. I...

Hi TooManyCrisps. Is the app for iPads/phones or is it android. I've looked for it and couldn't identify it, can you help please? I've ordered the book already - a bit of light bedtime reading, but it sounds as though the app will be very useful to have with me. Thanks

Try Berocca, it helped my husband when his system was low. I agree about zinc and also found selenium helpful. Can't remember exactly what Berocca has in it. Hope you come right soon.

I really can't count carbs for every meal so I do an odd day here and there to check I am getting it roughly right. The highest carb intake for a day was 93.5 - and I'm pretty sure it was the corn on the cob which sent it up to 8.1. Generally when this happens I go up to a max of 8.4, so...

I am finding that if I test after two hours might BG is often a bit high, whereas after three hours I am back within target range. Does this matter? Doc says no, but I would like to be reassured by your expertise fellow diabetics. Just like to say this forum has transformed the way I feel and...

Just been to the docs, he has reduced the Gliclazide in the evenings from two to one, to try to improve my BG readings at bedtime. It will be interesting to see what effect it has. Thanks for your advice everyone. Really appreciated.

Hi yes, on Forxiga and Gliclazide as well as the 1 X 24 hour Lantus. My understanding, which is patchy at best, is that the Lantus provides the baseline and the Gliclazide supplies what I need through the day. I haven't had a hypo yet - and hope not to! I have been limiting carbs for just a...

I recently switched having my Lantus to 6pm as it was running out of steam and couldn't cope with the dawn phenomenon when I had it in the morning. I have also reduced my carb intake to between 50 and 75g per day. I am getting great control during the day, between 5 and 7, but my bedtime...

Glorious morning here in beautiful Lincoln. Good readings, feeling well, life is good now bs seems under control!

4.6 this morning - amazing difference it has made changing my 24 hourly insulin to an evening injection. Haven't gone completely low carb but have cut out bread, potato and rice etc. But did have a bit of sugar sweetened stewed vanilla plums and ice cream last night and have still come in...

Thank you all. I will have a go at making the wraps. Freezing the sounds a great idea x

I was on metformin and then glucophage for a number of years and was told my bowel problems was IBS! Tried everything to get control of my bowels but towards the end I couldn't safely walk a mile to work without worrying whether I would make it without an accident! With a big trip planned I...

Does anyone know where you can buy low carb wraps in the UK and also if they really are low carb. It would make pack ups a lot easier! Thanks

I have been taking Forxiga for about 4 months now, and haven't experienced any problems. Well done, not only for the weight loss, but for keeping it off - that's fantastic.

Thank you

Whoops 10.5. Wasn't that naughty, but difficult when family come for dinner. Must do better today.

Nice to have support. Thanks everyone
