Just seen an advert for this on TV and wondered if anyone knows if its any good or another scam? Its supposed to lower BS and Cholesterol. Sold in Lyoyds and H&B etc...

Cheers guys ,, I am well pleased with the results. The Cholesterol was the only issue but the Doc said it wasn't bad enough to worry too much about and he didn't recommend the statins as some actually have a potential to cause diabetes according to the manual he looked up,, the fact that my...

Hi Guys. I'm 41 and last year (18 month ago) in the January I had my first test done after complaining to the doc about getting a lot of colds. Was supposed to be checking white cell count and instead discovered my BG was at 42 or 43. He told me I was Pre D and to change diet and exercise...

Well,,, will be back on the wagon after todays big match rangers v motherwell SPL play off final lol,, back in the gym tom and going for a 8 mile run on tuesday. I can probably cut down 4 or 5 lbs by test time and I am still just within BMI right now. Been reading online that stress levels...

Yeh been thinking about it,,, my mum has said that I can have my dads meter now as long as I dont become obsessed with it,, and tbh thats what put me off until now. If the result is bad then I think I will

sorry for all the questions by the way lol

I'm in the Army and the Doc wants to do full bloods check in about 2 weeks time when I am next in on day shifts. I got a pre D result about 2 yrs ago (42/43 mml) but have followed a lot of the advice on here got fitter and hoped for the best lol. I no longer eat Bread, rice, cereal, pasta etc...

I get what you all say about testing and its something I am considering in case I'm doing myself out of things I don't need to, but I dont think that would help in this case. From what I read on here to test you should test before eating and then again about 2hrs after. In this case I would be...

im not really craving carbs,,, its just that I feel a little less energetic at times working out these days since I decided to cut the carbs and wondered what affect they might have right before during or after exercise.

Just curious if there is ever a better time than any other when carbs would have the least affect on your BS. For example I exercise a lot and wonder if I could get away with say something like porridge right before going to the gym,,or say have a snack at the gym for energy whilst working...

interesting again without knowing any better I would have just looked at that and saw a high carb content and not considered it. One of the things I dont get Jack is when you look on the second link and it gives the breakdown per 100g how can 73g only be 24% ? Obviously im missing something...

isn't Barley high in carb tho ?

Cheers for the advice,, I will have a look at some of your suggestions in the Tesco superstore nearby. I already take things like that in for the nights but that is because I am commuting at the moment and can take them from home. The whole issue the now is if I decide to stay in the block...

Cheers, yeh will need to check if the barrack block has a freezer in it,, they usually have a fridge but not sure as I haven't been in for a look yet. That was why I was hoping to be able to be self sufficient whilst away

Cheers for that I will definitely look into that :)

My lass was planning on making a curry tonight (home made with coconut milk). I will admit I love curry,, well hers anyway but I had my once a week portion of rice on Friday so dont want any more tonight. Is there any kind of substitute that one could use in such a dish? I have been...

Hi guys could do with some ideas or advice please. Right,, my situation has changed recently as I just went back into the forces and am now in the Army. I currently work 4 x 12hr shifts and as the travel for the day shifts is a killer (5am starts and I live an hour away) I am considering...

Strange my only HbA1c said at the top of the sheet non D range from 30 somthing to 42, 43-48 Pre, and 48+ Diabetic. See someone here saying they got a Pre diagnosis at 41? Guess the recommendations must change then. I was the same as you just in the pre range,, I got diagnosed as pre with a...

yeh but they do lower trigs which according to some articles like the one I posted are linked. Hope not really as all the exercise and weight loss im trying in that case will make no difference to me then ,,,as when I first got told my C and Trigs where high I was only 18 did pro street dancing...

Which will give the trig result as well
