Hi @ukmartian .. I suggest you simply forget the ways that you used to eat - eg: particularly potatoes (any type), bread (any type) sweets and beer .. The key point to take on board is that managing and controlling your diabetes through exercise, diet and testing your Blood Glucose seems to be...

Hi @LynDoo .. and welcome back There should be no reason why you can't bring your levels down in your timescale .. The key point to take on board is that managing and controlling your diabetes through exercise, diet and testing your Blood Glucose seems to be the best way forward for many...

Hi @sheepie123 .. Welcome to the madhouse .. sadly, this is exactly the sort of nonsense that many people have to put up with. Same thing happened to me at my dietician appointment and, as a result, I developed a simple strategy for dealing with Doc, Nursie and assorted HCPs .. # Listen # Nod #...

Hi @ Shinymoon .. For me, all or any potatoes are a no-no .. For breakfast, have a look at these Ideas from the Diet Doctor .. You could also consider the option of Intermittent Fasting eg: 16:8, which means only eating within an 8 hour window, (I do 11am to 7pm) and cutting out breakfast...

Hi @Bulmanboi .. Your doc will tell you if you are diabetic .. if not, then you are perfectly entitled to explain that you are concerned because of your family history and ask. All that can happen is that you will know one way or the other after your appointment .. and if you are diagnosed, your...

Hi @licklemoose .. You are only craving bad foods because you are a victim of the food industry's brainwashing over many years. You have been told .. and now believe .. that you really need to eat xxx (whatever) because it's tasty, healthy, nutritious good for you or whatever. The truth is...

Personally, I'd still rather not bother .. instead of a roast, I would prefer a piece of chicken, ham, gammon, salmon or steak with a nice crisp salad .. but, as I said above, that's just me .. and isn't it a good job that we all have different tastes :happy:

Hi @Bulmanboi .. and welcome I had my first eye sreening a few weeks ago (everything OK) but about a month before this I developed a floater in my right eye. I asked the DB optician about this and she told me that it was nothing to do with my diabetes and that many people experienced the same...
