I'm so depressed I can hardly cope. :'( I've been carrying a problem around inside me because I feel I'm the only one and shouldn't feel like this, but I can't accept my diabetes. :( I never have been able to the whole 5+ years. I want to deny it, push it away. :'( My sugar is low, but it...

Could someone please give me a link to WhitbyJet's Chocolate Paradise thread? For the life of me I can't find it anywhere. Had it bookmarked but lost it. Thanks Helena

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY*** Daisy. :D Helena

Hi everyone, As I've said in other posts, my son was diagnosed T2 just before Christmas. He's 20 yrs old. His sugar was high, and he was put on 1 then 2 SR metformin per day. He went on a low carb diet straight away, and is now getting brilliant fasting and before meal readings of between...

I'm on the regular Glucophage, and have been for 5 years. Although they are very effective, I do have problems with them. Anyone who has been on regular Metformin, then changed to the SR, are they as effective at bringing the sugar down? I'm thinking about asking my GP if I can try the SR...

Hi Whitby, I've been researching all about beans and flours, and I've ended up more confused than ever. I was looking for different kinds of low carb flours made from beans, as I don't think I would like to make something savoury from almond or coconut flour. I've found out that...

Well, after behaving myself over Christmas I still managed to enjoy my meals. But, yesterday, I had one of those days when I was craving something sweet all day and getting ratty because of it. Anyway, an hour after I'd had my tea, I gave in to my craving, and had a 'biggish' slice of...

Hi, I've noticed the time on the forums is an hour infront? I thought it had been right before. Helena

:( My 20 year old son has been treated for mouth thrush. His sugar was taken, none fasting, and it was 31. He's had no other symptoms you see, so I couldn't pick up on anything. But, the reason his sugar was so high was because the drops for his thrush, that he had to put on his toung 4...

Ever since I've been taking Metformin, and no matter what type, it has a taste of like mould, fusty. It doesn't happen always but most times. Do any of you taste this? Helena.

Does anyone who uses their mobiles have a problem sending posts on the Quick Reply? I can if I just write a few words, but a few sentances, and it won't go through! Could be my tempermental browser but it's disappointing now we've got the smilies. Helena.

Hi, Why is the time one hour behind? I'm sure when I noticed it the other day it was correct? Helena

Followed the link that 'catherinecherub' put on here to join up to take part in diabetes research, and someone just rang me. A few questions just taking personal details, and to ask if I still wanted to take part. Then they're sending some info in post, then a follow up call in 2 weeks, then...

I know this may seem a silly question, but I am curious. The list of registered users have Google Bot, Bing Bot, and Yahoo Bot after peoples names. Why is mine always Yahoo Bot, when I've never had anything to do with them? Thanx Helena

Hi everyone, Over the years, from reading about, and listening to diabetics, and from my own experience, my feelings have got stronger and stronger about the lack of emotional and psychological support on first being diagnosed with diabetes. I was sent away to 'get on with it'. I hardly...
