:)I am now of an age when I really don't give a toss what something looks like..... I have several pairs of crocs and have been known to wear a different colour on each foot, carefully co ordinated of course. Being older is such fun! :p

Happy New Year Q and Everyone! and a huge thank you to you all for the advice, support (and fun) during the last couple of months :happy: Xx

:)Thank you Christine, you're welcome. Roll on 2014 eh. Have a good one and take care of YOU ;)

Hello Joe and welcome to this place :)

I stayed on the wagon all over Christmas but it's just lost a wheel and I've fallen off! :eek:. Have figured it's ok to sin for a few hours. Tomorrow isn't just a new day, it's a New Year! :p

I am Type2 insulin dep and not denied strips.... BUT I am restricted to ONE pack per month. Of little use to me, a low carber who tests at least 7 times a day, more if I'm driving! So I have to buy extra strips which costs me more than my monthly food bill :(

Really? How fascinating! Over the years I've had a few meters, all of which have been totally reliable and as accurate as a meter can be. I've just started using a new free Contour, which I tested against my old free Breeze last night using the same blood sample. The result....just 0.1mmol...

I used to be a barefoot woman, love to feel the different textures beneath my feet, especially grass. Visits to podiatry usually involves "discussion" followed by big sighs from them as I slip back into my beloved, oh so comfy crocs. However, for safety sake I do now wear appropriate footwear...

:):)Ummm...we could live on coconut milk, goat milk, goat cheese, bounty bars (minus the chocolate coating!).... and make coconut oil in which to fry the fish we catch.... ready filleted of course! Fried cheese is nice too ;)

:) Ditto! :)

Sounds delicious. Think I'll try it with one of the bags of left over turkey which is now frozen. I don't do goose or duck. Purely sentimental, illogical reasons, I spend too much time studying and photographing them! :)

:)I am stuffed! I made a left over turkey curry using Andy's recipe, to which I added 50g each of creme fraiche and double cream plus enough water to turn it into a thick sauce. Added some cooked turkey chunks and simmered it for about 15 mins.... Served with cauli mash, YUM!

:joyful::joyful:...excellent! I spoke to the manager at my local Morrisons. She said she'd "look into it" and "there was no call for that particular bread", so I suggested if they marketed it properly then there would be. We await developments but not holding my breath, lol.

I've asked my local Morrisons to stock it a couple of times, but no joy. I'm going there later so will mention it to them again! :/

Chiefs, Indians ...ppfft!

Thank you everyone for sharing information. A couple of points.... ( Not **** Brett. All useful knowledge!:) ) I'm gradually understanding more about the science behind LC, it's fascinating and makes even more sense to me. Smidge, my Diabetic Nurse mentioned the possibility of swapping to...

Surely it's our prerogative to post as we see fit! Personally I've had two bad experiences with my GPs concerning diabetic care, which has damaged my faith in them! No doubt there are many decent teams out there, but conversely there are bad ones too. You are a prolific poster, have picked a...

Mo, as I said to Smidge, it's not recognising the hypo which bothers me... I drive and always test before I drive but also rely on my own ability to recognise a potential hypo. I'm concerned that last nights hidden hypo wasn't just a one off and if that's the case what's gone wrong.

It wasn't so much the hypo, it was not recognising it which bothered me. I'm usually aware once it drops below 5. I'm wondering if low carbing has anything to do with it......not that I will give it up! Since starting low carb 30g per day, I simply don't ever feel hungry.

Ok, thanks again. BTW....It wasn't a gentle walk. It was a brisk one, almost three miles with just a couple of wee stops...for the dog, not me! Rosie goes like a train, lol.
