Hi I have tried looking at my setting to change as I am type 2, Are you able to change setting on an iPad or do I need to be on a normal computer. Sorry but not very “techy” and can’t seem to find a link to profile change.

Hi, T2, following advice from this forum I bought an Aviva accu-chek monitor when first diagnosed about 5 year ago. The strips are quite expensive and I normally get 50 for about £12 to £15 via eBay. Q. I’m out of strips and before I buy, should I be considering an alternative / new one / or...

Thanks for this reply, I probably fit into this well, great first two years, then sloppy, put on pounds, just a few treats etc.. Now back on the straight and narrow and realise can't cheat the system. Only recently back in the 6's. I will hopefully remain and will heed these good words

I don't think they needed to be so graphic on the amputation. However, It's hit home with this body, I hadn't strayed too far from the right track, but this has made me reflect on my behaviours. Thanks goodness I don't have a sweet seriously sweet tooth. It just those bloody magnums always...

I am not sure how I arrived at the recipe (loose description), probably read too much and can't walk past Costco organic range....but breakfast on the go has developed into Put kettle on Body a 45 degree angle to kitchen work surface, 30 push ups ( can't do those awful floor ones). Get bowl 2...

Thanks for tip

I read a lot about what the NHS should be funding, and realistically how cash strapped the system is. So I decided to fund my own accu check testing strips. Half the price problem is they are only sold at inflated retail prices. I recently started purchasing via eBay and on average can get 50...

Butter but you can't get through to some people, my good lady keeps bringing in the easy spread lurpack "Which tastes just like butter", I don't use but children always go for the easy option.

He has saved my local NHS trust a good few hundred ££'s, on diagnosis in 2014 they instantly wanted to put me on metformin and statins. I went away, read up, joined this site bought his book and a few months later all normal. 18 months on I started to slip back over Xmas putting "a little"...

Thank you, this isn't the list I had seen ( the other was colour code da) but very similar and will do nicely, Thanks again

Hi, I read a post containing a table with carb counts for veg in alphabetic order. I found it useful but as on ipad unable to print (IT expert I am not), come back on my laptop to do some cut and paste but cannot find, can anyone point the way...be most grateful.

Strawberries ummmm!

My BG have been good rarely above 6 in morning and well controlled after food, and I broadly follow the LCHF. Last Wed I had that " what if" thought. Had a particularly stressful day in work followed by a large glass of red and a big slap up salad.....then...(my good lady has a taste for the...

This has been a really informative thread for me thanks. Q. Some foods I thought were natural and good and low on the GI index such a quinoa , I have used to replace the rice and potatoes, but reading the labels again, some are high with omega 3, fibre, protein, but also high carbs ( although...

When first diagnosed about 6 mths ago I knew booze was a big factor as to where I was, and suspect I had T2 long before diagnosis. Stopped booze, dropped weight and got under a reasonable control. Then read (on here I think) a Glass of Red a day was ok, somehow over the last month that has...

Thanks for posting

I haven't counted Carbs and instinctively I sort of followed a low carb change to eating when diagnosed T2 last Aug. Not done me any harm, dropped around 4 stone and BG seems to be in range. Things I avoided like cheese (at first) I have allowed back into my diet. I have a question, I have just...

Ignore the added value bit just read some of the more recent posts which have confirmed my initial reaction.

Never offered a course (T2 9/2014) learnt most things from here and reversing diabetes book and if nothing forth coming will either go for a private course or dietician advice consultation. The current NHS advice doesn't seem to reflect the advice on the forum, which would make me question value...

Thanks I have been wondering about the same thing, my only concern was if you took a reading and it was a High BG. Would a residue stay on the lancet and effect the next reading.....strange didn't think about the hygiene issue...
