A couple of thoughts: - have you measured other readings other than fasting to see if there are changes there? - did you set a target weight loss at the outset? There are numerous suggestions of 15% 20% etc But if the idea of a personal fat threshold is accurate then the weight you need to...

It may be an interesting idea but, as you can see from the responses so far, understanding the problem and people's pecrception of the problem will be key to successfully framing your solution. It wouldn't surprise me if there was enough interest to make a go of something like that - provided...

Just wondering if anyone buys their test strips online, some of the prices look pretty reasonable compared to 'Boots'. I did a quick search on here and didn't spot a thread (although I'm sure there must be one). Does anyone have a recommended online store they use and / or a recommendation for...

One of the issues with shop bought muesli is the use of dried milk powder which drives up the sugar content. You can get apps for a smartphone which have bar code scanners and provide a nutritional breakdown of a huge range of food products. Personally having done, several times, what @bulkbiker...

Well done Fran keep it up it's clearly been well worth it. I had a set of clothes in my wardrobe that I hadn't worn for a few years and some shirts that had never been worn. But they're back in circulation now. Most of my jeans are a bit too big, I will fit a lower size comfortably now so, like...

@B583 sounds good, look forward to hearing how you get on.

Well now I see where you're coming from, the key here is not to eat the labels - even in moderation they're never going to taste great and they wont add nutritional value. :)

@TorqPenderloin obviously this demonstrates a lack of consistency between meters. How about consistency of the same meter over time? For example does the meter providing the low reading always give a low reading? I just watched the 'Control Test' video for the accu-check aviva. I would use the...

How long have you been doing this for?

I agree and I also think it needs to be easy for people to do that, but the problem is when even the people who want to take responsibility for their choices are getting caught out it's clear there isn't enough transparency.

@CollieBoy I know but it's not complex carbs they add to food to alter the taste, it's simple sugars. And I believe if you have manipulated the flavour of something principally using sugars then you have created confectionery. Someone highlighted the ketchup that has a higher sugar content...

I think for a lot of people food represents more than just the fuel they need to take on board at the given moment they are eating. My dad, for example, grew up in poverty with an unmarried mother who didn't earn enough to feed them properly. His attitude to food was unhealthy for most of his...

What would have to be true for a stranger to wholeheartedly resist the idea that you had cured / reversed (whatever) your diabetes? Reminds me of something completely irrelevant. Recently in the town where I live a restoration team descended on an historic canal lock. Ivy had grown all around...

I'm on the Lindt 90% at the moment, 2 squares is definitely enough to quell any enthusiasm for chocolate.

Yeah it looks like someone's managed to deposit some naughtiness on the forum. I'm sure it will be wiped away soon enough.

I'm going to run a malware scan on my computer. But if multiple people are seeing the same thing on the same forum via different computers it points to the forum.

Yeah but how, I just did I link search on the page and it isn't there. So if it's not a hidden link it must be a script which would mean a hack.

What I did notice was when I highlighted @Sirmione 's post to quote it a new browser window opened with a voice saying "we have to amputate your legs today....that's what the doctor told me". That's clearly a message designed to associate someone into, what is for many diabetics, their greatest...

@B583 what is it you are doing in 30 mins tomorrow? Is this an initial chat about your goals for hypnotherapy sessions?

This is a food thread it's pretty obvious he'd be asking about hot dogs... ;) Wow there are more calories in a peanut than a french fry...
