Can anyone help me please? I have attempted to register, and also to login to the Low Carb Diet Forum, and I'm failing miserably. I have used 2 different versions of my first name, and also A back-up email address, I hardly use, and I'm unable to log onto the site. I forget what the error...

Hello Friends, I tried a second time today, to join the low carb program, so I can find out more about it. I get an error message saying my email address is already in use! Well what do they want? It's the only one I've got and I don't do smart phones. Anyways, I had my last diabetic...

Here is what happened today. Before breakfast, my blood reading was 9.4 For breakfast I had 3 weetabix with semi-skimmed milk and cup of tea. I checked my blood again before lunch, at 12.30pm my result was 11.6. For lunch I had a tin Heinz Minestrone soup with 3 bread rolls and butter...

Hello friends, thank you for your kind replies. Pasta? that may be a killer! :angelic: I hear your advice to discuss with my GP, I don't think she'll be happy, but that doesn't bother me. For 2 or 3 years, I wouldn't touch statins, I'm currently on a low dose of Pravastatin, that doesn't seem...

Thank you Daisyduck! Well, I agree with your comment Blimey! But I'm not getting any real answers from any medical teams. They're only interested in what they're treating me for. Ok, I'm half Italian, so do I give up pasta, which is my favourite food? I do have a BG meter, but I barely use...

Thank you Tabbyjoolz, thanks for your kind reply. I don't visit often on the forum, but I shall do so, as I've been concentrating on my cancer. I shall take a look at the link you've provided, it is something I've been thinking about for a while. My 1 concern would be, that I would have to...

For breakfast I had 3 Weetabix, with a cup of tea. For lunch I had a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, with 3 slices bread and butter and large glass of water.

Hello everyone, just had a phone call from my diabetic nurse. After being under good control for the past 4 years, all of a sudden my diabetes slaps me in the face once again! I didn't have pen and paper to hand, so I'll try to remember what she said. My blood test...

Thank you very much for your kind words Freema. I try to retain a positive attitude, but some days I feel down.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, but I couldn't identify the correct forum to post this. I have been a type2 diabetic for the past 12 years. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with heart disease, I have angina, for which I've been given a nitromin spray, which I have used on occasion. 15 months...

Personally, I make an effort not to drink any soft drinks. I try to drink 2LT water a day, as I have prostate cancer. I also try to limit the amount of processed food in my diet - not easy. Plus my diabetic nurse doesn't approve of a low carb diet. Frank.

Hello friends, I haven't been here for a long time. Most of 2016, I've spent being concerned about heart disease and prostate cancer. Of course I haven't ignored my diabetes, I recently attended a 6 week EPP course for diabetes. I caught half of the Panorama programme, so I'll watch it again...

Hello Martin, thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to hear about your recent type 2 diagnosis. It probably hit you like a bolt from the blue. I would advise asking your doctor to refer you to a dietician, who I'm sure would help you to follow a healthy eating plan, suitable for diabetes...

Hello friends, I haven't been here for a while, I've had other stuff on my mind, as I'm sure you'll appreciate. As far as I'm concerned, all my GP worries about is my type 2 diabetes. She certainly worries about it, a lot more than I personally do, for this past year, i couldn't give 2 hoots...

Hello Brunneria, thanks for your post. Yeah, Frank the walking disaster! Hey!! I didn't sign up for this, folks! I go see my GP tomorrow so I better ask her about glucose levels. I haven't checked my blood for weeks, since I've been having these tests. FRank.

Hello Bebo321, thanks for your kind comments. I wonder if it's possible that I probably served you at the checkout, or at the ice cream machine? We had a busy Spar store there for 16 busy summers! Frank.

Hello threejays, sorry to hear you've had a tough time of it. Regarding sweeteners, does anybody need them? When I was first diagnosed, my GP told me flat out, stop all sugar and sugary foods! THat was really tough. I stayed off sugar - not using it on cereals, tea or coffee. After a month...

This week was diagnosed with prostate cancer - another bundle of laughs to contend with! My wife and I went to Newgale beach for a walk of about 40 minutes, which was just enough for me. I shall try to do more walking, whether I feel like it or not. I have to keep active I believe, or the...

Ok friends, I haven't been on here lately, as my time has been taken up by something far more important - I'll explain shortly. I think I was diagnose with type 2 around 12 years ago. Like most of us here, it was an absolute shock to the system, there's no getting away from it. Even this years...

Well Friends, I believe in this day and age, it's very difficult to begin to avoid processed foods in any case. Also these days anything can be open to fraud and organised criminals are up to anything that earns them loads of cash. In last couple of years, the horsegate scandal has made the...
