    Yoghurts?

    So I've seen that full fat yoghurts are allowed and I've looked in Asda etc, but firstly, most of yoghurts there are of the low fat variety, and the others I've seen have quite high carbs. Am I missing something? I'm not that keen on them but if I could find a nice flavored one that is allowed...

    Happy new year everyone! Afraid I've been not well since before xmas, caught a nasty cold bug from granddaughter and as such eating programme went out the window!

    Few days where can't eat

    After reading through threads here, and other places online, I understand that what I'm going through is probably side effects of metaformin.

    Type 2 How often and when to test and evening snack

    So my meter should arrive today and just wondering how often I should test? I've been 'lurking' and reading and I'm assuming I should test before a meal and bout 90 mins after? But is that every meal i.e. 6 times a day? Also, I've always been an evening snacker, yup, I know it's something I'll...

    Total Newbie Not just to diet but to diabetes

    I'll apologise in advance for long and rambling post. I was diagnosed barely two weeks past and that was only after going to new docs regarding wanting new meds for migraines. She wanted bloods done and I got a rather urgent sounding phone call the very next evening asking me to go to surgery...
