Trying to get on top of things again after slipping into too many carbs. Picked up some Sea Bass and Prawns but needed something to bulk it up. Stumbled across Tesco Swoodles. Not sure if mentioned anywhere else on here, but low in fat and salt. 13kcal per 100g. 2.3g of carbohydrate of which...

Stumbled on an article last night suggesting that having a cup of black tea after eating can help lower blood sugar levels. Have searched online and can only see various articles "suggesting" the possibility but as with most articles never seemingly offering proof., Any positive experiences...

Been trawling through allergy forums with no real luck on possible remedies to help so thought I would try you all on here. I have a habit of getting bitten by something (not sure what) on the golf course despite applying plenty of insect repellent that usually does a good job. Unfortunately...

Not sure it's the best title but thought such a thread might be a good idea so we can all help each other when it comes to saving money with regard to the ridiculous increases in the cost of living. Not much we can do about the quite scandalous increases in Council Tax but with utilities we...

Wasn't too sure where else to put this so move to another forum if appropriate but I stumbled across the below article yesterday after doing a bit of research on carbs as I am trying to cut back after my last HBA1c test., The article is a couple of years old but I find it most bizarre and...

Just wondering if diabetes creates either muscle or bone pain in others? All started with a left wrist problem last year. Assumed it was due to my bad golf swing and ended up having an x-ray which came back clear and was going to have further investigation but it was postponed due to lockdown...

Hi all, Thought I would put this on here as I am sure a few of us try the old brown basmati rice and I have just checked two packs in my cupboard and they are part of the recall. Pleased I haven't had a tuna kedgeree for a while!!! Product Recall Uncle Ben’s Brown Basmati 250g...

So,,,, no appointment via phone with the GP until next week and I didn't have the bravery to check for my latest HBA1c results until today when I contacted surgery and they sent a copy to me via email. Why the terror?! Well I haven't been on this website that long and had noticed some no no's...

Hope you all don't mind but I thought we might see a few threads popping up regarding returning to work and Covid and thought it may be a good idea to start a thread for that purpose. I'm due back in the classroom in September and to be honest am very anxious about it and am expecting calls...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52754280 UK scientists are to begin testing a treatment that it is hoped could counter the effects of Covid-19 in the most seriously ill patients. It has been found those with the most severe form of the disease have extremely low numbers of an immune cell...

I have added this link above to the wonderful Dr John Campbell who does some very insightful videos on You Tube on another thread but also think it should be included on this "shielding thread". I found this video in particular to be of some concern. There are links below the video which show...

As ridiculous as this sounds it could well push a few of us into a corner at some point. I see in the news today some idiotic Government minister whose name conveniently doesn't appear in the article, has allegedly suggested that schools could reopen after Easter and that the closure of schools...

Hi , Type 2 pretty well controlled until Christmas with HBA1C's of 44, 53, 49, 49, 48 since June 17. Mum's been ill with dementia since last year so I fell off the wagon a bit and was shocked to see it went up to 58 in December! My fault. Been on BP meds and statin's for a while but BP ok and...
