Hi. I am Bee, and I was a member of this forum when I was first diagnose with pre-diabetes in 2008 I think it was. I managed to get my HBA1C down to what you guys call the "5% club" and since then I have been quite lax with my health. I was knocked down by a pushbike just afterwards which meant...

I figured that was maybe what it was, but as I just said to the other half, there is not much more I can cut out of my diet so I am keeping my cheese and cream and bacon! :lol:

Budge over, I'm in. :mrgreen: Latest hbA1c - 5.9% Took me ages to get my result, I had it the other Friday. Was run over by a bike coming out of the blood clinic would you believe, so haven't been able to get into the doctors as yet. The nurse just said my cholesterol was "abnormal" whereas...

I get mine from Asda. :)

Can't remember really... I never look at price tags, I'm terrible. I think below £2 for a pack... dunno I'll look on Saturday when I go shopping. :)

I think one can exacerbate the other from what I have read. I have gum disease too. I take a multivitamin which has VitD in it which should help. I brush, use mouthwash and use interdental brushes twice daily. I hate the dentist but I do go when I remember to make an appointment. My gums are...

For me, it's just as good as fresh to be honest. And more convenient.

Yeah I know, I just couldn't find one for you guys. I meant Diabetes in general not just this site.

The Facebook page for Diabetes UK Feel free to add your own links to groups or discussion pages, thought it would be nice to have a central thread for them. Unless we have one already? :)

Aw they are all gorgeous! I love the one of Sylvester doing that black-and-white-cat thing of rolling over for a tummy tickle! Does he have your hand off if you do? :lol:

A few more lolcats

I have some frozen asparagus... I usually roast mine with sea salt, black pepper, olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar.

Yeah... me too, and I've just gone and eaten a bag of em too. :(

We have about eight guitars in our house, bass, electric and accoustic. I have tried to teach myself to play but my fingers aren't strong enough and I find I can't get my tiny hands round the neck to hold the strings down. Bummer, cos we have some gorgeous guitars. :(

I have three.

What about a reeeeally small one? :lol:

Welcome to the forum Linda! :D

I get this in my right foot if I wear flats during the summer. Problem being my partner is 3 inches shorter than me, and a good few stone lighter, so now I have my beautiful high heeled biker boots we do look rather odd together.

We can't be super-vigilant all the time. I've had 6 biscuits this week. :oops: I don't even like biscuits that much! But I find when my choices are limited (because the only options in the canteen or the vending machine are very high carb) I get carb-blinded. :lol: It's very tempting to just...

I know how you feel, you seem to have got the same treatment I did. Don't worry about it too much for now or your blood pressure will go rocketing back up! :lol: The testing is a good thing to do, but some people don't feel they need to. Depends on how "serious" your case is. I don't test...
