BBC News - Hospitals trial AI to spot type 2 diabetes risk https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80v1p5l4n1o Putting aside the AI aspect to this report, I'm intrigued that T2 may be diagnosable by ECG. I've never heard this before. Can anyone explain how?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0025gqs This was on BBC2 a couple of weeks ago. Seems to have been lost or ignored among all the Christmas hype. Was well presented but little new to most of us on here methinks. Still worth a watch. Anyone else see it? Your views?

Ideas please for using a tin of pink salmon. Preferably hot, definitely low carb :)

After reeling in shock from this week's supermarket bill (chocolate that was 1.39 or 1.49 had now shot up to 1.99 a 30% increase in a week. Cheese that was £16 @ kilo has gone to £24 a kilo, a 50% increase in a week) I thought we could post our keeping costs down tips on here I'll start with...

This is a good podcast by Wolfram Alderson (he's type 2) It's on Kick Sugar coach episode 67, if the link doesn't work All about hidden sugars (262 and counting up) and processed foods and real life. The interviewer is very much from the carb addiction school but he seems more realistic and is...

BBC News - Scientists work to make healthier white bread - BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c87z06r175no Well, of anyone was in doubt about how processed bread is these days, here it is all revealed. There's not even mention of a cook, a baker or a farmer in the article :(

Just a funny... Had a text today to book my annual Hba1c. As I'm gleefully pressing the buttons to book (pleased they'd remembered me), hubby walks past and says "Now, do treat them gently when you go. Remember they don't know as much as you do" Think he's a keeper, he's learning well :p:p:p

Has anyone tried this recipe? https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-rhubarb-tart Am trying to understand how to do the rhubarb and whether it's enough to give the taste. Is the rolling a faff?

Today, 7 months after my last Hba1c of 42 I have received a text from my local surgery saying my blood sugar levels show Pre-diabetes and to phone or go to a website for help. (That's not news to me, was first diabetic in 2020, managing it myself since) Https://preventing-diabetes.co.uk So...

Today I met a friend in her 90s who said she had been quite ill since diagnosed with T1 a year ago. Since then she has been put on 4 fixed injections of insulin a day and given a Libre. She says her sugars are all over the place, very up and very down. She is under the care of a central London...

Channel 5 yesterday. But now on catch up https://www.channel5.com/ready-meals-the-shocking-truth Most of us know ready meals aren't good for us. This programme not only looks at sugars and fats in some, but also greenhouse gasses in producing them, and at how a lot of plant based are not as...

A friend has been moved over to Dexcom and has offered me her stash of Libres. My question is if Abbott would know (before activation) who these had been sold/supplied to? Would I have any trouble if any need replacing at some point?

Had an email from Abbott today. Recent release version 2.10.0 in UK only May show some outdated readings during signal loss and/ or may lose signal loss alarms Advice is to power off phone and back on again. Doesn't affect version 2.8.4 or lower, but advise not to apply updates until further...
