Working for money and not reporting it is dishonesty. Working unpaid and for therapeutic purposes is not a crime. Fenster

Cameraman Stop beating around the bush. I agree with you, these people should be keelhauled and sent to the colonies. What place has a bit of compassion got in these hard times. Bring back the cat, or even a dog or two. Its people like you that made this country what it is today. Bravo...

increasingly cynical You have hit the nail on the head. The NHS can stick the med's and prescribe us two bottles of decent wine a day. It may rot our livers but the usual diabetic complications would be gone. :lol: And if not, would we care. :lol: Fenster

Hi, have you tried oil of cloves. You can get it almost anywhere non prescription. It is great for dental pain relief. I don't think it will interfere with your med's. Fenster

Sue These old tennis players are so pedantic, especially with the use of apostrophes. :lol: Fenster

Hi Catherine I agree with every word, the post code lottery of test strips is lamentable. Diabetes U. K. works to an agenda that is beyond my understanding. But as its a lovely spring day and the weekend is coming up I will say no more. Have a great weekend everyone. Fenster

Hi Sometimes when going thru this life I meet someone very special and I think to myself, if I don’t get on well with this person, it will be my fault. Dennis (aka the headmaster) is one of those people. Keep up the great work and thanks for your help and guidance over the last year. Fenster

Hi All I am a passionate low carber. I dropped pasta, rice, spuds and baked products and bread 10 months ago. The only food I missed was bread. For years I had ate high quality bread from Waitrose i.e. walnut etc. I now eat the Fergus Jag banter and I love it. Fenster

Hi Stuboy Are you aware an HbA1c of 7.9 equates to an average BG of ten. This is more than twice the level of a non diabetic. Fenster

My diet averages 30 grams of carbs per day all from vegetables and never more than 50. Some would consider it high fat i.e. lots of cheese, cream and olive oil. I check for keytone readings around 3 times per week with Bayer Ketostix and never go above 1.5 mmol this is a perfectly safe. This...

Hi Hana Your diet looks good to me. Most importantly you are holding safe blood numbers. With your exercise regime you have this condition on the run. Do not listen to the outdated and misinformed. Fenster

Link to ketosis, ketostixs available from Boots about £5 for 50 test strips. A low carb diet down to as low as 30 carbs. per day will have only a minimal effect and is perfectly safe. This can be observed with the use of ketostixs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis Fenster
