Especially because we are talking about a condition that is widespread and from what I am reading it's so widespread to be an huge cost to NHS, and one the key factor to control the condition is being people aware and educated. We aren't talking about keratocounus or Pellucid Marginal...

Received a letter from blood bank with exam blood results and a note saying that I had to repeat the test because either they have messed up the sample or I could have some condition. Repeated the tests, received another letter with the advice to go to the GP. GP said that maybe I was diabetic...

Right ask before if you have to take a "STERILE" urine sample so is possible to check if there's an infection. You have to ask before because you''l have to get a gamma-ray sterilized plastic container at the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist the correc t procedure, ie. wash the hands before, like...

I've had the same problem. I wake up at least twice during night 1:30 AM and 5:30 AM normally. Seems that I have a bit of prostate adenome, that is normal for my age..

The fact are known: in an healthy diet is useful to avoid foods with added sugar and fructose is a sugar. So HFCS and table fructoses being added sugar should be avoided. NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/Top-sources-of-added-sugar-in-our-diet.aspx And there's a paper from Diabetes...

Type 2 hasn't nothing to do with lifestyle too. Unfortunately there's a trend to associate a stigma with diabetes and obesity due misinformation on mass media. Even people that are diabetic are convinced otherwise, so the general public who talks about full fat coke or thinks that diabetes is...

I'll use this only on blatant problems, that luckily I've nevere encountered here. It's true that there there are some members that I put in ignore list, because I found them rude, but because it's a really subjective matter I think it's better to use the ignore.

@Bluetit1802 exactly. If I find that there's a thread that is drifting I simply stop to follow it. If there's a problematic user, I'll put in the ignore list. Maybe it's because I've seen these behaviour back in BBS and USENET times, but I am not saying that DCUK is losing the plot.

I think that chocolate makers will be happy to make sugar free chocolate, like this in vending machines. By the way I have an elderly relative that is in hospital due a bad ankle infection, and the food the hospital is giving is not top quality: mashed potatoes are like concrete, pasta is...

Exactly. Because due Unilever's newspeak margarine with some esterifies fitosterol is marketed as healthy and usable to lower cholesterol. They market as healthy and dietetic the Solero too. The interesting thing is in fact that in the pro activ site there isn't an ingredient list. Anyway...

@Kristin251 Peanut oil is if you like to fry something. You could also use olive oil (not the extravirgin oil because the flavour and the cost), or sunflower oil to fry. @Brunneria They're using palm oil that is rich of saturated fats and an extract of plant sterols. And exactly what are plant...

Is that some margarine-like spread? In this case, may I suggest to swap butter as much as you can with olive oil or peanut oil?

Can't agree more I have read this thread and I have a couple of things to say about the question. I have followed both the threads and didn't find anything rude or offensive. What I see is that there are some people, not only @AM1874 that have found the right combination of diet, testing and...

@catapillar I have type two and there was a period of my life where I gained rapidly weight and found that I had T2 only because I am a blood donor, so I got a FBG test that was out of control. The problem is that a lot of people are saying that I got diabetes because I was fat and was eating a...

I have found the factory. They have confirmed that is made in the plant in Genoa, but for now they anren't selling the line in Italy. This is what ther're selling here http://www.roncadin.it/it/bio.aspx

Unfortunately I've experienced that is curve ball, because you have to explain to them the problems you have, but at the end Mums Know Best ;-) Epecially if they are watching a lot of TV https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=diabetes

Unfortunately in most case are relatives. And anyway it's a difficult thing, you can easily spot ass-holes, but for well-meaning people that are ignorant about diabetes its a difficult thing: Remember that people is hammered with advertising that promotes as healthy sugary drinks, refined...

Unfortunately the punctual problem could be resolved, for example instead of lasagna sheets you could make crêpes with eggs and only a bit of whole wheat. But I think this is the general problem you have with people that could take really personally the fact you're not eating.

This is easy - said the truth. "I shouldn't eat potatoes, pasta, bread, or rice, no added sugars and starches, also gluten free ones aren't ok, and only some fruits because I have a health problem. I can't drink a lot of alcohol and anyway I don't like sweet beverages". If you move from a broad...

Because smoking is different. You have to resist craving but smoking/not smoking is a clear thing. You don't lit coffin nails - you don't smoke. Normally it's also easy to call them ashtray, chimmeys, or mocking them if they're coughing, if are smartasses or fill them with booket on quit...
