but it's time for me to leave the forum. I wish you all health and happiness :-) x

but what are all the missing grams of nutrition in food that aren't included on nutrition labels? For example, I had a ranch steak for lunch and of the 100g, only 36.6g are accounted for in Fat, Carbs, Fibre, Protein and Salt. Umm what's the other 63.4g? Pixie dust? I know there will be a...

Since my diagnosis in May, I've been including 70% Lindtt dark chocolate as a 'sweet treat', but I know that the higher cocoa solids are even better, so bought a 90% bar and had a square of that yesterday. I usually have 2 squares of 70%, but I couldn't do that with the 90... it was..... not...

I have been using FAGE fat free greek yoghurt for the last few months, but I've noticed quite a few people saying that full fat is better... but is this just because the higher fat content will supposedly make you feel fuller? For someone who is trying to lose weight with a combination of low...

The good news is, at my first review with the DN since diagnosis in May, I was told my HbA1c is now 37, down from 65 at diagnosis. WHOOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP The bad news is, I'm now in agreement with many of you on this forum... that the health professionals are a bit (trying to think how to word...

If someone has put their T2D into remission (or is well controlled... whatever we want to call it - back in the normal range), would I be right in assuming that the occasional naughty day - like once every few months on special occasions - which caused big fat spikes, wouldn't do any lasting...

I have been tracking my calories and macros for just under 3 weeks - tomorrow will mark the end of the full 3 weeks. I had already been successfully losing weight on a lower carb diet (estimating I was consuming around 100g a day) since my diagnosis in May, but thought it would be interesting...

Ok, so I apologise in advance for the word vomit that may follow... I think most of the questions I'm going to ask are rhetorical. I basically just want to vent... think out loud... and maybe find out if others feel the same way as me. I haven't contributed a great deal to the forum yet - I'm...

I've been increasing my fitness and stamina steadily since my diagnosis in May and have gone from really struggling to walk even half a mile at that time to just completing my first 10k.... in fact, to be precise, 6.88 miles. I would pat myself on the back, but I'm too knackered and sweaty...

Apologies for the long winded intro/background before my question! So, I've been on a healthy eating plan since May, when I was diagnosed with T2. Initially, I just cut out all starchy carbs and just ate sensibly with a focus on low GI. Out of interest about a month ago, I downloaded a...

Hi all - I've spent a few hours reading many forum posts and responses today and decided to join up and share my story so far - in case it's of any help to anyone else. I've been obese or morbidly obese most of my life and was never particularly bothered by it - all the women on my mum's side...
