Marks do Crackling crisps - per the packet only ingredients are pork crackling and salt nothing else. They are more expensive than most but I find then kinder on the teeth

I understand that Keto diets have been used since 1920s in some cases to ameliorate epilepsy and for particularly hard to control epilepsy which cannot be controlled by medicine or other means - see Epilepsy Action note on the internet...

My meter did something similar when left in a cold room (( and battery needed changing shortly after) so may be why my meter was more vulnerable ) . Might be worth letting the meter warm up, wash your hands just in case you had some contamination and then do another test if still within 90...

As others have said find what you like and what does not raise blood sugar and go with that . My belief is that a successful change in diet should be one with which you do not get bored . So for example there are plenty of different types of lettuce - so try different varieties - red gem...

I do not take any meds and I am nothing to do with the medical fraternity but I did look up these drugs on internet from a point of interest . I do not know if the following is of any interest to you. If I read your post correctly then you have been moved from 5mgm of linogliptin to 12.5...

Do not fret about falling off - 10 years ago I lost a lot of weight and was fine and then one thing and another, I rather let myself go - so many people in the same boat when life seems overwhelming but I am of the view that all bad things will come to an end and in the last year got...

We are all different and I guess It is possible that you got a rogue reading - or the amount you ate or it could be that flax seed does not agree with you - I have two heaped teaspoons of milled flax seed every morning and no increase is blood sugars - but I cannot eat oats as raise...

I did have some trouble with strips when those is in a open tub got more inaccurate the longer the tub had been open ( this occurred with two tubs of same Batch and not others ) I complained to Roche and got a similar reaction to you that I was my fault and the way I was testing . I was...

Not sure if this helps or not but I note you said that you have not eaten properly for months - my understanding ( non- medical just what I have read! ) is that a person should be eating normally before a OGTT so for example if a person had been eating low carb before a test it is suggested...

If you do not want to use laxatives you could consider milled flax - a couple of heaped teaspoonfuls each day either just with water - or sprinkled over yogurt or similar may assist.

Please do not get down . You have done well on your bloods and you have lost weight We are all different so my experience may or may not help. I thought my portion control of protein was worth a look and gradually reduced protein for 0.8 kilo of the weight I wanted to be but not worrying...

Well done on losing weight 8 weeks is a bit short between tests ( turnover of blood cells is usually deemed to be 3 months ) - as Hbac1 is an average you could have been a bit higher before diagnosed and you might be a little lower now .A meter will give you a guide to your current...

Well done

I cut them chunky and microwave them for 4 mins( stopped them getting soggy ) then shallow fry - they are not crispy but not oily and are quite interesting and tasty - I do not know if they would deep fry. I suspect celeriac is better as a mash which I have eaten and found pleasant.

We are all different and low carb may not be for you but it may be worth a try and in my case it was was prize of lower blood sugar a loss of weight of over 4 stone and feeling so much energetic without feeling hungry. I have put some ideas below of are ways of how I dealt with going...

Per Roche Multiclix are being withdrawn by end of December 2017 on prescription ( as the poster of the thread is getting a prescription would appear relevant ) and not clear also applies to self funders but strap line looks like it likely see https://www.accu-chek.co.uk site states the...

Snacks - Olives , pickled eggs , Marks crackling crisps which are zero carbs ( some pork crackling and can have carbs ) and Marks ones are kinder on the on the teeth than a lot of crackling - although expensive Marks I find a couple of the crisps can be quite filling so last a while ...

We are all different and so what works for me may not work for others so I have tried different options.I have just started Tai chi and find it helps me ... I also have started line dancing (I am useless as I am so uncoordinated but quite enjoy it ) my friend of a similar age has started...

This is very curious - so looked at the Roche site to see that Multiclix lancets are being discontinued from December 2017 and so not sure you could get a Multiclix finger pricker even if you wanted one ( Roche is doing free upgrade to the fast clix finger pricker )which is what I think...

The concern appears to be two fold - the temperature of the wax and the fact that generally diabetics do not heal as well as non diabetics . I suspect the problem is that in this litigious age that the beautician is concerned if anything should go wrong . I think sugaring might get over the...
