Ok, I have been going the gym for 5 weeks now, whilst also low-carbing. I do 30mins cardio on the bike, then a range of weights (Lats, Pecs, bi/triceps, chest press, ab curls, rowing) then 5 mins on the stepper (no more cos it hurts and im knackered at the end of the 5, lol), then 30 mins on...

Been for my latest checkup, BG down from 8.8 to 7.5 since starting the gym 4 weeks beforehand, was told to start using ramipiril, despite my BP being approx 130/80. I was told it was the "new" thing to protect my kidneys, but the side effects do not sound nice at all! Anyone else on them? My...

My accucheck compact GT is poorly :( I used it yesterday morning, and the motor sounded sick then, but read my blood ok, then when i turned it off(so it kicks out the used strip), it wouldnt and kept coming up with error E17. So i removed the drum, refitted it and now it tries to find the empty...

Mrs and me have had a falling out, apparently i am more moody recently and the only thing i have change is going LC, and was thinking is it cos my BGs are still too low?(no higher than 4.9-5.2 any time of the day) or is it the remaining meds causing it?(im off gliclazide for 2 months now, still...

Simply a thread where you can confess anything you have eaten that you really shouldn't have done... I'll start with been for a curry at the local Indian, which wouldnt have been too bad, but we had rice, garlic naan bread, popadums, and despite now feeling sick as a dog, I REALLY REALLY...

After my scare the other week of getting my 1st hypo in work, I came to realise that it may be in my interest to have something for if i hypo in the gym, etc....I have noticed shops stock these small cans of red bull, would these do the trick (I cant stand the stuff, so it will not be used for...

I have had a stinking cold for a couple of days now, and thought it might be a good idea to check my BG since i havent all weekend (no gym, no need) - and it was 9.4 :shock: Now thats cos of the cold - i take it i just have to ride it out, as theres not much more i can do about it?

Just tried it tonight, really not for us, think its the texture to be honest, as it doesnt really taste of anything, and we even tried shoving mustard, ketchup in it, but to no avail, but if you dont try you will never know.... so its turnip and/or cauliflower mash for us in future :)

the sugar pangs on low carb(which by implication is no sugar esp as T2)? to be honest, my first slip up this week was a dairy milk bar about an hour ago and feel really guilty about eating it, but whats done is done, and its the 1st time i really wanted a sugary snack, and im not gonna deprive...

Having read about the low carb successes, I too have decided to give it a go, at least until the end of February. So as of 1600hrs today, it is low carb for me and the wife. It's shocking how many carbs are in everything though, we went to tescos to do an initial shopping trip, and it was like...

Reading people's posts, ive noticed a few of you are gym-bunnies.....has anyone got any good exercises to strengthen my lower back? I ******** it last year, slipping on ice in work, its been ok since then, until last night, when messing with my 8year old, resulting in me lifting her funnily...
