Excellent stuff, thanks for the replies.

It was a 15 minute heart monitoring.

What about ecg's? i had an initial one but nothing since.

Been diagnosed about 16 months ago and just wondered what the deal is with the regular checkups. The ones i have had have been really sporadic at best. Exactly what tests are you supposed to get and how often if anyone knows please? Less important bonus question... out of curiosity should...

Thats some great stuff there. Many thanks.

As title really. Despite being in my late thirties ive had so little to to with vegetables that im looking for lists of the nasty tasting buggers highlighting the best and worst for diabetics. They all taste foul to me so i just as well go with the most beneficial rather than tasty :) Planning...

Just a quick question today. Ive gotten into the habit the last year of not eating anything for first half of the day most days, meaning ofc im not taking my Metformin either till then. Should i be getting that little white pill in me asap after waking for maximum benefit? Im currently on 500mg...

ok i think i have this sorted now. Salt is not 100% sodium, you have to account for the chlorine too. I really should think about these questions more before i put them up :) Thanks for the reply's.

Im extremely lazy but i will have too if this stuff is no good :)

Hi everyone. Having a real bad time eating my veggies like a good boy so am hoping like hell i can get away with some v8 Juice. I know from past experience this stuff has a lot of salt in it and was really chuffed when i found the Low Sodium version but that was short lived as they dont sell it...

Many thanks. Also been recommended this from someone else, but it was for the juicing side.

As above looking for any recommendations for good books on veggie and fruit smoothies. Been trying to fit veggies into my meals but just hate them so much :)

Thanks very much for the replies. I know it was irresponsible but as an agoraphobic bloke that dosent get out much i had an absolutely fantastic evening. I went a little too mad on the drink but did stick to vodka (absolutely abhore the stuff) with diet lemonade/coke. When i finally see my DN...

Im going out tonight to see my friends off before they emigrate to Canada the lucky sods. My initial Diabetes Nurse appointment is still a week away so i thought id let my hair down and have a few drinks while im still mostly in the dark about things. Ive changed my diet quite a blt and am...

Will start to meter later this week after i have ordered one. Im quite interested in seeing how i do on different types of food. Is there a guide anywhere on the forum for metering? Specifically for gauging foods.

I did panic quite a bit when they told me. Ive always had this huge fear of heart attack and when i read that your 5 times more likely to have one as a Diabetic it proper freaked me out. My getting out the house therapy for the agoraphobia really took a huge dive for a good 5-6 days. And between...

I managed to get a copy of my results today so here they are. Would be interested in what people have to say about them. Not yet experienced with them so its all martian to me. Also thanks for all the kind welcomes :)

Im not quite sure if i have the name right. It was a non nurse healthy living type of coach if that makes sense. Got a few more appointments with her.

Just wondered what sort of symptoms people here get? Ive been a long term anxiety/agoraphobia sufferer since in my late teens and for the last 5 years or so assumed i was just having 3-4 hour long episodes of bad anxiety. I would literally be sitting on the 99% mark just before pure hysterics...

Good idea. I shall request the details and maybe post them up here so you can all scold me for my terrible diet :)
