Rowan, I am just a T2 newbie looking through the threads and I read this whole one. I really hope your on your way to understanding what is happening with your kidneys and your on the mend. Take Care of you, and really good vibes are coming at ya from SE London.

What is this painless blood letter of which you speak????? my fingers hurt dagnamit and I would love not to be reminded of my diabetes when pouring a glass of wine....

Good thinking. Let me know how you got on... I may have to do the same. I really like my Accu-check Aviva, but it was my first and well.... but the SD is the dirty cousin.

Go in with low expectations and you might like them.... for the price they are so not worth it. However I did buy 2 packets of the noodles yesterday as they were 1/2 price in HB. Rinse, Rinse, Rinse again. Add them at the last minute to just heat through as over cooking them will leave them...

Okay, just finished Tax Credit renewal - Love it or hate it, dealing with the HMRC is a nightmare, this is my first time as a self employed and well.... I deserve my glass or 3 of Prosecco, it goes so nicely with Stilton n Olives (don't judge me, its all I had in the fridge). :)

I love love love my stove top stainless steel 6 cup espresso maker....it has seen me through the last 10+yrs. Couldn't part with it now, lasted longer than my marriage, ahem. I use single estate coffee from wherever and its gotta be Strong. Used to drink the full 6 in 2 mugs, with either soya...

Hey hey Last nights dinner I tried to sneak a carb (sweet potato chips, tastes sooo good), but my meter caught me with a +3mmol at 2hrs and an extra +1.2mmol at 3hrs. Suitably chastised today I have been darn near angelic. Brunch: 2 sausages, avocado salad with watercress, peppers, 2 cherry...

I have noticed any, new to me, food - I tend to binge on it. Having it in mirad (sp?) of ways as it creates a flavour sensation across my taste buds. This tenancy is ever prominent with the big D, but alas caution must be executed as I really don't want 30 minute toilet experiences. Thank you...

My Mum gets night cramps if her potassium levels are low. Before T2 she would eat a banana a day, now she will have 200ml only of coconut water and/or eat some form of chocho (west indian watery veg that can be cooked or grated into salad). I would look for ways to step up vits n minerals via...

Phew, thank you I wasn't going mad and the sugar beast was running amok (err by 1mmol/L) Yes the really attractive bulk strip price from Home Health UK, makes this test business slightly less painful. I will buy a control solution with my next order and take it from there.

Type2Guy - You are definitely not alone.... I've noticed that I don't post my wagon crashing days. I have had a toxic relationship with carb heavy food for years, like toxic relationships, those things that are 'bad' can feel sooo f-ing goooood. But like another poster has said, it's the long...

Feeling tired over last couple of days... bg readings have been ok though. Last nights D: marinated chicken pieces rolled in seasoned almond flour (idea from HankJam. TY) smeared in butter then roasted. With a few roasted butternut squash cubes, steamed string beans and 'slaw n roasted pepper...

I must thank you catherinecherub and this forum full of people who question and share. My mother was diagnosed with Type 2 in January this year, after many years of ill health and disability, and I was/am quite frustrated with her as she hasn't modified her diet/behaviour in my eyes at all...

@Bunneria Thank you for your experience of weighy and apathy or IR due to decreased exercise and/or increased trigger carbs. Since cutting out gluten, and really limiting my overall carb load, and being aware of my everyday activity load, I am starting to notice the lack of pain and swelling in...

Umm ok Been very slack with my testing, I need to find the thread on SD code free as I've been getting some funky numbers. Anyhoo, yesterday was an occasional blow out. Drinks: double gin n light tonic :-) L/D: Dry lamb whatever, curry veg, tomatoes n okra, poppadoms x2, onion salad,with 2 x...

Hi everyone! Thanks for your responses, I'm gonna source some ingredients tomorrow, like the coconut cream in the tetra pack. Might be a waitrose run me thinks.... I like the idea of just using a thermos bag.... gonna try that although I have 2 sachets of bio yoghurt starter so will use that...

Wow. Just Thank You.

Oh it's working now. Thanks Brunneria, my place is really warm so I will try your method next time... Can I ask what brand of milk you use? Cheers

Really annoying, the phone app must of unlogged me as I don't have permission to post. Grrr.

Yesterday startef so well and ended up grazing.... So this morning I woke up starving... forgot to test fasting BG. Experimental Breakfast: Dandelion coffee with coconut milk (koko one) vanilla extract and tsp of butter whisked up. (I can imagine real coffee, cream with vanilla extract would...
