Hi all! As I have to cut down on carbs, I've been trying alternative stuff... I had a baked sweet potato last night and it was delicious! Now I can't have sweet potato every night as it's expensive so I thought I'd give red lentils a go. Does anyone have any ideas on using them as an everyday...

Hi all! Me again! Just want to know if this sounds ok.... I still haven't had my clinic appointment so I'm playing it by ear at the moment!!! I'm currently having breakfast at about 9am, a Cup A Soup type effort around 11am, my lunch at 130pm, another soup at 330pm then dinner around 630pm...

Hi, Random question... But is it normal to feel like your "crashing out". I can feel myself getting sleepier and sleepier and I keep zoning out. I haven't got my first clinic appointment til next week so I don't know if this is normal! :***:

Morning! It's probably been asked before but is a glass of white wine ok with Type 2? I don't drink beer except Bavaria 0%. Is that ok? :?

Hi, Just a quick question... Is it common practice for a clinic not to give a monitor and teststrips? How do I monitor my blood sugar without one? V confused!!! :?

Hi, I've just found out today that my fasting blood test showed a level 8.7 and that I have diabetes. I had gestational diabetes 6 years ago but all blood tests since then have come back normal. I now have to go to see the nurse but I have no idea what to expect!To be honest, I am overweight...
