thanks Antje77, just had a look as never heard of it before, but looks good so have saved the recipe to try. :)

Hi Yvonne Peach, I'm new here too although diagnosed several years ago now. This forum is a very helpful place to be and it's true people are happy to help us and answer questions. So welcome x

Now that really had me laughing out loud, made hubby jump though. I could just picture those trees lol Such a shame that those pizzas are so bad but taste so good. Didn't have them often just as a treat but know I am going to miss them.

Hi Oldvatr, thanks for letting me know your hacks, much appreciated. I love a full English and have missed them as was told everything on the plate was bad for diabetics. I have managed to have 2 in the past week and both times my reading went up by 1 or just over, so I figure full English is...

I so hope it goes the same way for me jjraak. x

Ok thanks Marie 2, I hadn't realised that as I seem to have blood tests every few weeks for other conditions too. But will wait until she (DB) phones again. I am learning so much here thankfully. Nice to meet you. x

Hi catinahat, Wow! The above is nearly word for word as those said to me all those years ago, and along the same lines as this surgery follows. The only 2 differences with my new lot is that no one takes my other conditions and they don't believe in home testing, my fist surgery did and supplied...

1 week in and already noticing a reduction in my blood sugars (long may that continue). Before I started the low carbs my readings seemed to be between 11.0 and 12.3. For the last few days it has been reading between 6.6 and 8.1 which may not seem a big drop to some but to me it says I am going...

Hi again jjraak, Sounds like you prefer fresh food that looks as it should, which I do myself never have been a fan of processed foods etc. I'm pleased to hear that your hunger has mostly gone now, I have found my hunger has returned which I suppose is to be expected until I get used to the low...

Thanks for the welcome VashtiB and yes I hope a change to low carb will help all my conditions but even if it helps just the diabetes it will be a plus. x

Thanks for the link Antje77, very informative and yes I'm trying to catch that bull by the horns now ;)

Thank you Lobsang Tsultim, looks very informative. I have saved it to properly read in a short while. It's good to know there are still some clued up GP clinics. x

Hi jjraak, Firstly thank you for the welcome. Glad to hear you asthma is so under control now long may that continue. Yes it's much better to listen to those that have "been there" than anyone else, my nurse spent a long time telling me she will never be diabetic, ever! But insists on more...

Hi Pipp, Thank you for the welcome. Yes I do have a few too many medical conditions and often feel I'm just juggling them all. Would you believe I didn't ail much at all until 35 when I had a stroke and it seems as if every year for the next decade after that I got another condition, although...

Hi Marie 2, Yes I'm glad I got a meter after reading posts of this forum and feel it will be a big help. You could well be right about it being a cost thing but I really don't think medics should tell you they are useless which mine did, I actually felt that I had no control over this thing...

Hi James, I'm new too and have type 2 for past 12/13 years. This looks like a good, informative place to be for us. Val

Hi, I think I may have posted my intro post in the wrong place earlier and am hoping this is the correct thread. I'm Valann (Val for short), I shall be 72 later this month and live with my husband of nearly 47 years in Doncaster, South \Yorkshire. I was diagnosed about 12 or 13 years ago with...

Hi Everyone, I'm Valann and live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK. Although I'm new to this forum I have had type 2 diabetes for about 12/13 years but still don't know much about it. After saying that I have learned more about this condition in the past few days reading posts here than I have...
