Have a great time. But beware hidden sugar - they tend to add to things you don't expect - baked beans are very very sweet and its in a lot of bread and cold meats - I find I run slightly higher over there. If you get a chance and are willing to pay $50 a head look up Texas De Brazil for a not...

Had carpal tunnel surgery three times before diabetes diagnosis - since then found a study that shows excluding any other risk factor you are 36 times more likely to develop diabetes if you have had carpal tunnel symptoms.... Have also been told it will only get worse after the diabetes...

Hi Katie, my sympathies for what you're already going through, its more than enough without adding diabetes. regardless of whether your GP decides you are diabetic or are diabetic then its worth your whole to have a look at what you're eating and how its affecting your blood sugars. There is a...

Re: Common Cold & Type 2 Diabetes I always get the flu jab and now my son is eligible I ensure he does too. I had swine flu and since then prevention is always better than a cure. Wouldn't hesitate. Had the pneumonia jab when I was diagnosed a few months ago - no side effects so personally I...

This all sounds so horribly familiar - started on my toes when I was very young, moved into my calves and then into my abdomen / chest area as I headed towards my mid forties. The only way to get relief was for someone to push with all their strength on the side of my abdomen where the cramp...

. Used to have bad dreams - the sort u wake screaming from - the best advice I was given is to keep the room cold ... So now I wear bedsocks and the room is kept cooler. I was also snoring heavily - not something women usually admit to but I ended up diagnosed with sleep apnoea - if you are a...

I have 30mg codeine on prescription for joint pain. I also use it for severe headaches and root canal work! It can be addictive so I use the minimum I need and tend to build up to 4 a day though try to stick to Max of 3. Then I gradually reduce so increase time between doses until I'm on 2 a...

Re: If I eat something bad - how long before my meter shows Thanks to you both. Looks like even gluten free goodies will have to go on the discarded pile though to be honest its rare to find anything gluten free that comes close to the real thing! All my readings have increased by about 2-4...

Hi Last night I was naughty and after a steak, salad and jacket potato I had a gluten free cup cake (it wasn't worth it - my mind had built it up to be something it could never be :( ). My BG level went up to 8.6 which I expected but when I got up this morning I was showing 10.2. I thought...

Hi The practice nurse has advised me to eat as a minimum every 4 hours - I have a significant amount of weight to lose and tend to find that the 4 hours don't fit with meal times so I have a snack. OK when I'm at home but on holiday at the moment and the best I can find are carb heavy so the...

I use jungle formula - linked to London school of tropical medicine. It doesn't seem to contain the really nasty chemicals but I've found it as effective as the DEET based ones in Florida where the mosquitos seem to think I'm a free buffet. I also make sure the whole family takes anti...

I have followed your posts with interest and thought the theory was great however like you I would want different numbers dependant on where I was. Working in the NHS your NHS number should be unique to you and I have chosen to use this instead of a subscription service I would have to update...

Hi I'm new to this too so no expert and I'm sure more experienced posters will be able to give you more info but there is something commonly known as the dawn phenomenon. This is where your liver dumps glucose overnight to stop you going too low - unfortunately it appears that in type 2...

You can take a test online for sleep apnoea which gives you an indication of whether you are heading in that direction - Google epworth sleepiness scale. The version I did had non sleep apnoea patients at a score between 2 & 5 and I was at 22 - made 5 different people take the test before I...
