Hi, I will be out in the Philippines next year Feb/March for 5 weeks. I obvioulsy want to continue my low carbing which has been successful for me so far in terms of blood sugar count and weight loss. It's going to be difficult as rice and noodles are eaten in abundance. I just hope I can...

This morning I went into a Wetherspoons pub to have one of their traditional breakfasts- opting out of eating the hash browns. Whilst there I was surprised but pleased to find a large leaflet breaking down all their meals with all the portion amounts of Carbs. It all had the other usual...

Hi all, I am attending an Old Boys military reunion dinner soon. On the instructions they sent me there is an option to write something about 'dietry needs'. I am on low-carbing like a lot of us. I am unsure what is best to write in so as not to confuse. If I put in "No carbohydrates" -...

Hi, I am flying with this airlines soon and they have special diets type fo meals on offer. They don't look too mouth-watering. I am into the low carb sort of stuff and they don't seem to have a special meal based on that requirement. Anyway, if you could have a look at this link and let me...

Do diabetics qualify for free or reduced cost treatment on NHS? It is just that I have had a letter from the dentist reminding me of the need for a check-up and to bring along proof if I qualify for free treatment etc. cheers, Pete

Hi, I wonder if anyone knows of this vegetable and what it 'claims' to do. I have strongsih connections to the Philippines(my wife a Filipina) and I found this on a site I visit now and again. What do you think? I have pasted it below. Ampalaya is a vegetable grown throughout the...

I know I should be eating more of this type of stuff but I find it boring. Does anyone have a good, simple, idea on a lunch meal using sardines or pilchards PLEASE! I have stocked up my pantry with them on 'special deals' from Asda. Thanks, Pete

2 hours after dinner last night my reading was 6.2 I then sat down to watch my team Arsenal play Roma on the box. I had a couple of cups of tea during the game. As an avid Arsenal fan it became very very tense with a penalty shoot-out to decide the winner- which Arsenal won- thankfully. I...

Anniversary tomorrow so we are going to a place near Brecon. Dinner is included in the price. What three courses would you say were the 'best' options to choose. http://www.castle-coaching-inn.co.uk/sample-menu.php I know there are probably going to be carbs in many of them but, hey, it is...

I heard that Shirataki Noodles are extremely low in carbohydrates. I was pleased to hear that as I could then still continue with my 'stir-fries'. I ordered some on line and they arrived today. Not as I expected - I thought they would be 'dry' noodles in a packet but are in some sort of...

Hi, I have been having issues with my Health Centre over the length of time it took to inform me of my test results. In fact, it was only when I rang the for something completely different and then asked about the GTT results did I find out! I had a GTT last Dec 9th. The hospital told me the...

Hi, Am I worrying unecessarily. I am trying hard to get to grips with everything. Something that has thrown me this morning. On getting up about 8am my BS was 4.9 , I was pleased with that. I had breakfast of two fried eggs(in olive oil) and two slices of thinish bacon and I removed most of...

I was wondering if someone could advise on this please. I am sure when we go 'low carbing' etc we may miss out on needed vitamins etc. Do you think it is a good idea to take supplements and, if so, which ones would you think are most needed. I am recently Dx T2 and I am on diet only at the...

Hi, Please forgive me if this has already been covered many times before. I am just confused and need some clarification. I am trying hard to eat less carbs as most of us are. I also understand that fruit and nuts are good BUT not ALL fruit and nuts. I have been 'snacking' on them when I...

Hi, Browsing around as one does-- I came across this article. What do you guys think about it? http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/result ... ticle=2475

I have been having low carb breakfasts of scrambled eggs and a frankfurter sausage. Two mornings a week I do join some oldies like myself for some comparatively strenuous workouts in a small gym. I am a tad concerned that my BG level would lower quite significantly during the exercise. It was...

Hi, The nurse at my Health Centre has asked me to keep a record of my BG over a two week period on any two days in a week. Testing three times daily BEFORE breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe before I go to bed if i can remember. This morning it was 5.1 -My breakfast was scrambled eggs, a...

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with T2. I have to say that I am not pleased with the way my Health Centre have handled it all and I have had to complain to my Local Health Board to look into. Such a shame to have issues with people you have to put a lot of trust in. I was sent for a GTT...

I am new to all this so please forgive if I come across naiive etc. When I got up this morning rather late about 9am(very cold and snowy here at the moment) my Bg was 6.4 I was surprised by it being that high. I then had breakfast as usual and then tested 2 hrs later and stunned at a reading...

Hi, The Wagamama Noodle Restaurant chain claim to have meals for diabetics. I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2. I was looking for a restaurant to take my wife for our anniversary that is symapthetic to diabetes. Could someone have a look at the link I have pasted and let me know what...
