    New lancet on every test???

    My husband did the same to start, then someone put us right. Apparently you can use the same lancet until it becomes blunt and therefore uncomfortable. Be scrupulous with hand washing prior to testing and it should be fine.

    In praise of green smoothies

    I love my nutribullet to bits. My husband who is T2 and almost impossible to feed healthy food to, will actually take a nutribullet smoothie and enjoy it. So much healthier than toast and marmalade. I started trying to stick to recipes but invariably I make it up as I go along. Half fill...

    Anyone know a decent rice substitute ?

    Thanks for those links Jack. The guy makes a lot of sense. Cauliflower rice. First attempts with steaming were a disaster. Bland, soggy. BUT, gently fry some onion in coconut oil (can be spring onions) garlic and possibly spices, like cloves and one or two cardamom pods, add blitzed...

    Making sense of the numbers

    More questions than answers at the moment. There is so much to learn about diabetes and its effects. Danny is so tired almost all of the time. We put it down to pain meds but now I'm wondering if it could be the diabetes. Wounds are taking ages to heal. Is that the diabetes? Seeing doctor...

    Making sense of the numbers

    Thanks for your replies. Danny is 75, a lover of sweets and toast. Diagnosed T2 in November with HbA1c of 59 (7.5% I think). He was prescribed metformin but he asked if he could try diet first and to his credit has stopped eating sweets and taking sugar in drinks. He is on many pain killing...
