    Petrol Stations

    Not much help to you there, but if you ever travel in Europe, Germany has NO problem with a full selection. Do not expect it to be at "Netto" prices, but at MOST reasonably sized filling stations you can get your "low sugar" stuff...or "castrated" as my Wife describes it. :lol: From Lilt, to...

    Oh NO! Not another metaformin question!!!

    Thanks people. Aye, Scamcogle. I noticed that on our yearly visit at new year to our Chinese mates. I just could not eat a quarter of what was put in front of me. Which by the Chinese is nearly an insult. LUCKILY one of their family also has diabetes, so they did not drive us from the house...

    Hello - newbie - just don't get it

    Aha. Thats the LAST thing I need. I only eat four or five times per week any way. And NEVER more than once per day. I never did eat much, but since I started on the Metaformin the THOUGHT of food makes me feel ill.

    Diet control....WHAT?

    I WAS. I wrote earlier about the Royal Liverpool hospital. But when the tell you, "if you move out of country, we will send your medical records to your doctor when you find one there". You can tell them on my authority, they are lying bastards. They WILL not send my doctor the records. And...

    Thanks! :wink: I was in the renal department of the Royal Liverpool hospital three times for tests. Two stays of a fortnight and one of a month and a half, with blood tests every hour for 10 hours per day.(Proffessor Doctor Taylor. Some of you from the North West MAY know him). Plus ongoing...

    Diet control....WHAT?

    Aye and that is EXACTLY what the doctor sais. What he does NOT tell me is what I CAN eat. I can eat no meat, beans, pulses, grain, nuts, cheese, Butter, citrus fruits, many types of fish, etc because I can LITERALY not walk to the **** toilet in a 60M² flat in less than 15 - 20 minutes. NOW they...

    Diet control....WHAT?

    No idea. I have no self testing kit. But i am on 2x1000 Mg Metaformin per day. Also a question. I do not know if it is linked, but I have had three thrombses in my left calf in the last year. Two within the last month. "Oberflächig" was the description. So not deep vein, and "Thrombophlebitis"...

    Diet control....WHAT?

    Hmm Sugar. I HAVE been known to eat a whole Kilo of demarara in a day, just by shoveling it in by the spoonfull. But normaly when I have had no bread.

    Diet control....WHAT?

    Detail. Good question. I reckon that should do it. Thanks. :wink: Talking of bread though, I can EASILY eat a loaf a day. and ONLY bread stops me being hungry. Pasta, rice, meat, ANYTHING else, forget it, unless it is on a butty. If I have to give THAT up. I am in REAL trouble. I would be...
