Hi folks Just wondering,does this cold snap we are having make you feel more hungry than usual? We had two bottles of red wine between us over the weekend,cheese,meats and crackers,all the stuff I'm not really meant to eat,ok meat and cheese yes but crackers galore. Today I felt like I could...

I've been on the sugar free gum for a year now,my understanding is the carbs that are present are carbs the body can't do anything with so thats why they get pushed out the body,hence the warning they have a laxative effect.BUT reading around there are discussions that the sweeteners can fool...

I'm currently eating Tesco finest high protein bread,two slices a day for lunch packed with my usual ham,cheese ,garlic sausage etc and find it has little if any effect on my BS levels.Pick a nice piece of brie add some spinach and bacon.

I felt like that last August.My three metformin a day absolutely turned my stomach.The dose was ok when I was 18 stone but not 12.I reduced them down to 2 a day and can just stomach it.But it was really bad,just a thought.

I have tried it and to be honest I think chewing a lump of charcoal would be more tasty.As a compromise try Lindt 90%,its amazingly better.As a treat Aldi do a 85% that is lovely too.

After another diabetes issue tonight(vehicle insurance and the lack of thier knowledge),just want to say how this totally god forbidden condition always rears its head and no matter what you do positive there is aways two steps back,really feel for you.All you can do is do your best and I'm sure...

My bad cholesterol went from 4.7 to 3.4. No more sharp pains around the heart area.

I couldn't possibly eat a doner kebab.

Has to be Aldi microwave cauliflower rice with added garlic red chilli ,coriander and butterflied chicken breast with a coat of garlic butter.

Totally agree with BT I have a little ,might not be totally accurate but works in my head. Think of it this way,your body prefers to burn carbs so it goes to the carb store,if there are carbs on the shelf body is satisfied and looks no further. If the carb store is I little bare(bit like my...

Since cutting out the beer I had a can of zero or Pepsi max a night as a substitute. I'm only on metformin and to be fair never had any bad experiences or odd readings. BUT I have read that it can fool the body in thinking you're consuming sugar and raise insulin output ,not sure how true that is.

I do believe it has caused my left eye to blur as well. I've lost 5 stone (down to 12 stone) and still continued to take 3 metformin a day. Whilst on holiday in August I had the sulphur burps and 1night of sickness,I stopped the metformin and the next morning my left eye was much sharper...

It does make me laugh. The chocolate manufacturers,and use the word chocolate broadly aren't interested in the world being healthy they just want your cash just like the supermarkets and the point I'm getting to is the word "sharing bag or sharing size" is a poor attempt to ease their greedy...

Saturday night is cauli rice,curry and french dry red wine night.Followed by stilton and some lowest carb crackers I can find. Well I have this for life and walk 4 to 5 miles a day.My treat.

Tesco do a high protein mini loaf. Depending on how you react to it,I'm lucky enough to say 2 slices don't raise my bg levels but you'll have to test with your meter. Corn beef is quite low carb,try it.

I very occasionally use the same needle in the drum,only if I can't be asked to change it. Around £13 for 34 drums on flea bay not bad really.

I used to love a ripe banana. I now see them as Mars bars with yellow wrappers,such a shame.

Alpro with coconut then add raspberries or Lidl full fat greek(little mini bucket size £1.37) again with raspberries
