Hi guys. A friend (non diabetic) is waiting for a liver transplant and needs to eat A LOT of calories in a day. I'm looking for the highest calorie version of bulletproof coffee out there. Any suggestions??

Hello everyone. Nice to see some familiar faces and some new ones. I can't remember the last time I logged in here. It's been a couple of years maybe? In the meantime, I've gone completely off track. I had a series of unrelated problems with my doctors and the only person I trusted - the...

Ok, so I'm not good in the mornings. I never have been. I'm naturally nocturnal, I think. I often feel sick in the mornings - it doesn't make any difference what my blood sugar readings are, and, before you ask, no, I'm NOT pregnant! I've felt sick in the mornings for as long as I can remember...

Got tonsillitis. Can barely swallow or speak. Breathing feels obstructed by swelling. I can keep down sips of water and I ate an apple. (It took me an hour :( ) I'm T2 on Metformin - at least I would be if I could keep the tablets down. I eat low carb. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what...

I went to up date a thread on gift ideas for my Dads 70th, only to find that it seems to have vanished! Strange. Any way, a massive thank you to those of you who very kindly posted ideas. Decisions have been made. :) Tank driving, go karting and tickets to see Dolly Parton in concert. - He...

Okay, so. Black Friday isn't that far away. I'm sure lots of us will be heading out for a night on the town or an office party. Thought it might be fun and informative for people to share any stories, hints or survival tips they may have? I'll start. :) - there is an infamous street in local...

I'm T2 on 2x1000mg Metformin daily. I eat very low carb. Over the last week I have felt sick pretty much all the time. (No, I'm not pregnant!) I'm eating regularly, but I'm not eating very much, - as I feel sick, and i tend to feel more sick after I've eaten. I'm checking my blood sugar but...

We've got the Grrrrrr! Thread, - and very satisfying/successful it is too! Thought it might be nice to a general UN - grrrrrrr thread to air the little things that make us smile on a day to day basis. Yeay away!

Not sure I like the new look to the forum. (App) If I write a long post, I have to do it blind coz the screen doesn't scroll down past a certain point. Posts are hard or impossible to edit for the same reason. - And why is the date backwards??? Is it just me, or is this a bit strange?

Hi guys, I'm eating properly (for me) - very low carb, as I did for the first two and a half months after diagnosis. I did go off the rails for a few weeks over the summer, but all has been well, eating wise, for the last month or so. I lost two and a half stone in immediately after...

A friends son has just been diagnosed as T1. I've given him the link to this site as I know he'll find help and support here. - thank you all for being here!

Hi guys. This is an appeal to everyone, regardless how old you are! My Dads 70th birthday is in December. I know it's a long way off, but he's unbelievably difficult to get things for, so I'm starting early! My Dad is my favourite person. My best friend. He goes off to work (he's the boss so...

Having read around a bit, I find that I'm not the only one who's hair isn't as thick as it was! There seem to be lots of theories as to what's happening, and I spotted a possible solution I'd not heard of before: Evening Primrose Oil. I'll try anything once. The recommended dose to improve...

I seem to be losing my way a bit. Not sure how to get back on track. If anyone has any ideas/advice, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Everything's been going well. Losing weight. Eating properly. Doing ok. I got impatient. My biggest problem, believe it or not, isn't my weight. -...

Going to test to see if fizzy drinks have an impact on my blood sugar. From reading here, I know that some people have problems with them. I'd stick with water but I'm taking a school trip to Paris for four days on Friday and I'd like more options. Fizzy drink, for purposes of tonight's grand...

Today was my first visit to the Diabetic clinic at my surgery. It was ok. The nurse was nice. She answered my questions as well as she could but didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. She didn't comment on my taking a low carb approach, but she wasn't impressed with the idea of fat...

Over the last couple of weeks I have started experimenting with the sorts of foods I can eat. (Usual diet is less than 50g carbs a day) Anything with any sort of grain, starch, or, not surprisingly, sugar, sends my blood sugar sky high. So much so that I'm abandoning experiments for the time...

Hiya. I don't know why but I'm really screwed up today. I just can't calm down. My mind is racing and I'm all over the place. I don't think it's a diabetic issue, at least, not a sugar related one. I don't know if its medication related - I'm on Metformin, but if it was, surely it would have...

Ok, I'm confused. The last week I've really upped my exercise. - I was starting to get the munchies and feeling sulky, coz I can't eat the things I wanted to. In the past, exercise has really helped with this, so I've been either doing 2x40min interval training on my treadmill a day, or an...

Stubbed my toe last night. Today the side of my toe is red and purple. I've never had a bruise manifest so quickly or obviously before. ( well, ok, so that time I broke my foot was pretty impressive, but even that took a couple of days to get going properly. ) Don't get me wrong, I get the...
