    Wondering about moving from oral meds to injections

    Wondering about moving from oral meds to injections

    Wondering about moving from oral meds to injections

    Thank you everyone who replied to my question. :) T2 diabetes is an odd journey in many ways. For me, when I was diagnosed and started low carbing I had the innocent outlook of thinking that would be it for the rest of my life, if I was careful I could control this. Not so. So off I started on...

    Chocolate anyone?...plus a bit of a rant.

    Yep, Lindt's or Green and Black's for me too, that's when I want any at all. I have a couple of squares and it's enough. I mean it's not like BD (Before Diabetes). Whole blocks of milk were the norm but I can't think of much that is the same as BD anyway. Actually....not much at all. An...

    Can a diabetic eat boiled eggs?

    Sure can. I do almost every day. Eggs are zero carb and a great little package of vitamins and minerals too. :)
