Thats great reading all these success stories! Congratulations to you all and thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm still traditional and old fashioned but I suppose it's like dieting in that it helps to read about other peoples successes. (real people and not manufactured stories for...

Seen as you are all a mixed bunch of lovely people from all walks of life and have all different experiences, I thought I'd ask your opinions on something totally non diabetic related. I've been separated almost 2 years now after 21 years of marriage. It's been a really difficult period in my...

Yes Grazer, I'm beginning to get worried about myself :lol: Missing a chocolate thread. Now I would never have done that a few months ago.

I like to smother it with grated cheese!

Usually I can sniff out the chocolate threads by a mile but I missed this one!!! :lol: Definitely recommend the Aldi's 85% Moser Roth bars. I have one bar per day every day and it satisfies my cravings.....most of the time. Occassionally, on a bad day, I've been known to have 2 and it doesn't...

Defren, if it's same as me then you'll find a big difference in your feet!! I never ever suffered from cold feet. Now, for the first time in my life, I've had to wear socks to bed sometimes as my feet are so cold. I wore sandals the other day and was desperate to get home and put my socks and...

I've noticed that I feel the cold alot more now since diagnosis. I don't know if it's due to the weight loss(2 stones) or because feeling the heat was one of the classic symptoms of diagnosis and, now BG under control, the cold is more obvious. I wore short sleeve tops all year round until this...

At the risk of sounding completely stupid, can someone tell me what a widget is? Does it only apply if using mobile phones for the internet ?(I don't do that...cos I don't know how to :oops: ) Does this change affect using a normal PC or laptop? My screen keeps changing size, I assume it's...

Well I'm back up to 13st AGAIN! (was 12st 10lbs last week). I really think I'm destined to stay at 13st! It was my own fault though. I had a pretty bad week emotionally and in one night I ate a snickers, a twix, a mars bar, a packet of jaffa cakes and a bag of nuts :oops: :oops: :oops: My BG...

I'm seriously jealous :mrgreen: :mrgreen: We'll keep you to that. :wink:

Well done Viv. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Well done Jeanne :clap: :clap: :clap: That's brilliant! You must be so chuffed. I haven't posted on this thread in ages as I'd been hovering above the 13st mark since Christmas and had no news to post. However, thanks to a really good friend, I think I've finally managed to control my...

well done!!! :clap:

I actually thought the mixture looked disgusting. I won't say what it reminded me of. (metformin side effects :oops: ) You should try the choc chip cookies too. They're not awfully crunchy but they taste nice and satisfy the urge!

Good luck. They are really easy and very yummy :D :D

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=27571&p=254673&hilit=chocolate+muffins#p254673 Don't know if link works cos this is first time I've tried it. These muffins are brilliant and so easy to make. It doesn't even feel as though you are baking! And they freeze well!

I love your wicked sense of humour Stephen :lol: I have absolutely no idea of what's going on here but after reading about WJ's experience I have to agree with LB. I just want to add, from a personal point of view, that this is my first ever forum experience and it's been the best thing I've...

I hope you're not suggesting I would lie :shock: Sometimes the unexpected friends turn out to be the best friends, and can be really helpful.

We called it "flip". No idea why! The sweets sound a good idea. Do you think they could be dipped in melted dark chocolate. Just a thought...... Or maybe mix melted chocolate through an orange or a lime jelly?

I want some of those :mrgreen: My husband left me about a year before I was diagnosed (after 21 years of marriage) so I have no idea how "cuddles" affect BG level. Although, just between you and me, I wouldn't mind trying - obviously for medical purposes only :lol:
