It always amazes me that anorexics are seen as ill and are never told to get a grip and eat something. Yet morbidly obese people are told to get a grip and lose some weight and that they are in control of what goes in their mouths and should take action. To me anyone who is overweight has some...

I think you should sort it out for us in need of help haha!! My students results are out today and I have come on here first before checking they have passed .... now that is definitely an addiction :)

My sons girlfriend bought me some boots diabetic sweets that taste like werthers originals. they are very nice but it does have the usual warning on that they may cause upset stomachs.

It is actually the first time I have joined a forum and not used a silly name... well you could argue my surname is. Must have been having a grown-up moment :)

Me too. Can we start an addicts self-help group please? :)

Thanks Catherine :) I will try that thanks. I was really fancying a pig out last night as I am getting sick of eating the same sort of meals. I had the biggest plate of veg with a little boiled potatoes and veggie sausage and hooray my BG was ok after it. I am such a carb fiend so will have to...

It is in desperate need of one too :shock:

Hi Catherine,I always thought I was the queen of nutrition as I have been on diets for years but I was counting the chick peas as protein!!! It is sinking in slowly and I have to say I am a fab driver so there is hope :lol:

Ah think this may be why my BG was high last night as I had chick peas and rice...I am still doing the trial and error thing and definitely got it wrong last night... now I know why as it has been confusing me all day!

now sucking on a fishermans friend does bring some complications to this thread :)

I will discuss it with him in June when I see him next. I was going to argue at the time but it was the first appointment and I was doing my 'best behaviour' routine. I really don't want to take them...I have my flora and I am eating a low fat diet so I think I will argue with him next time...thanks

Hi Dennis, same here so far but as my BG seems to be slightly erratic at the moment and I am unsure why, think I will keep eating it but just for the taste :) Stopped the fenugreek and smell a lot more pleasant now!

I am a little confused now. I was going to ask what statins were but I found this thread :) My specialist has told me to start taking statins but this is before he has even got the results of my cholesterol - I am assuming he thinks as I have to lose weight and my blood pressure is a little high...

Hi, my story is very similar to yours. I was put on a waiting list to see a specialist and sent home. It was very scary. I have just seen the specialist and it was ok but I had already dealt with it on my own. This forum has helped me greatly. Good luck with it and hope it gets sorted soon. If...

thanks for that think I better stop taking it for now as it is in the form of a supplement, plus this smell is annoying me now :lol:

Hi, read this thread with interest as I have started taking cinamon on apples etc and haven't noticed a great difference in my BG. Does it have an effect immediately or should I wait a while? Not going to stop eating it though as it is lush. Also bought some fenugreek tablets last week, which I...

I also tried cinamon and it seemed to have little effect. I have also bought some fenugreek tablets but I have to take them 3 times a day and I am starting to smell of celery so I am unsure whether I will continue plus it has had little effect so far. I also take a multivitamin once a day but...

lovely ladies pouting

that he ate

I was a bit surprised that the endocrinologist told me yesterday to stop checking my blood before and after meals and just do it morning and last thing at night as they are the important ones, but as I am trying to find out what I can eat I am ignoring him :)
