Good afternoon. Last week I was prescribed Victoza (duped the Skinny Injection) and on 8th December 2017 I have hospital appointment to learn how to inject etc. I enquired after a diet to follow in conjunction with taking this new medication - but my Diabetes Nurse said he didnt know about...

Thank you Brunneria for all the lovely information. Thank you also Gingerjan. Very much appreciated. Will now be having a look at the info you suggested xx

Good afternoon, I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes for over 3 years and am still confused about diet. I dont test my blood sugar levels at home as my Diabetes Nurse told me I didnt need to. I go to my annual Diabetes reviews. I need to lose a substantial amount of weight and all I do is...

Thank you all for your replies. I do like diet coke but only one can a day. I used to be the other way and my friends nicknamed me the camel haha. Sometimes I can visit the toilet and go downstairs only to have to come straight back up and go again. Doctor did say when first diagnosed that if...

Hi. No I don't self test. Nurse told me not too. I joined this lovely site a couple of days ago and am now considering getting a monitor etc. Getting loads of excellent advice from all the lovely people on this site xxx

Good morning. Before I was diagnosed I could be up 5 times a night for a wee. Was diagnosed. Started tablets and was not getting up at all for a few weeks. Now I'm back to getting up 3-5 times a night. I stop drinking at 9 o'clock. And that's coffee. And usually go to bed at 10 o'clock. Don't...

What is carb flu? I am very inspired by you all and you have all been so very helpful and I appreciate that very much. I look forward to starting and letting you know how I get on. If that's ok. Xx

Thank you all so much. I know what I am going to be doing and following once the bank holiday has gone - only reason for this is I have a pre-booked meal with my family and they are very very kind and supportive but have their own ideas on what I should and shouldn't eat. Once I am back at work...

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL. I have just read about the LCHF from the links people have kindly given on my thread. It makes totally perfect sense but I am having a little problem with the High Fat part. Always had it drummed into me (from being very overweight) that it had to be Low Carb Low Fat...

Morning. Hope you are all well. I have had more help and advice in less than one day on this lovely site than I have since beginning Feb when I was diagnosed. It's like a big huge relief that I now know some links to look at and loads of lovely advice. Can't thank you all enough. I can't seem...

Did you cut all carbs. Hope you don't mind me asking. Am in awe. I have started walking with my son. He's 19 and its great cos it's quality time together with him chatting and me puffing and panting and muttering whilst trying to keep up with him. Haha. But afterwards once my knees stop...

Well done on the weight lose, 3 stones since February, thats brilliant. I read a blog a few weeks ago that started something like this 'the bad news is your have diabetes, the good news is you have diabetes and could now feel better than you ever have in your life'. Apologies if this is a well...

Hi. The LCHF diet definately sounds good to me. I will look into that. And i will look into the meters and strips. I am ignorant about these things, is it the one where you prick a finger and put a little blood onto a strip? I think my worst thing is I have always struggled with my weight and...

Dont think condone was the right word, whoops. Probably support would have been a better choice. x

Oh my, thank you all very very much for your lovely replies. I take Metformin twice a day and cholesterol tablets and also diet and exercise. My diet isnt that bad, its when I eat that probably doesnt help. I have a busy job and sometimes I get to mid afternoon and realise the time. Then I get...

Good evening. Hope you are all keeping well. I was diagnosed as Type 2 in February this year and felt very lonely since then. I work full time. Have one son and a partner who are both great but even though I dont want my life to be all about diabetes, no one mentions it, its like the elephant in...
