Hello again Whompa. Well done you then for sticking at it... :D My motivation and willpower are shocking. I can do the low carb when i get my head into it and can see the difference, but this time Im just a pain in the ****. Fear is a very powerful driver...but seems lost on me at the...

Hi Fraddy...Yep the whole weight gain thing, I know where it comes from, I know how to stop it....but I dont. I feel like such a fool because I am not stupid and yet here I am feeling like **** through my own fault. Slight concern about having such horrifically high blood sugars for 6 months or...

Hiya Whompa, Thanks for that it makes sense. I think a major issue is I am a woman and so many of us like chocolate...so when I'm told " Oh no that's not good for you", I eat it in incessant amounts. I'm also Glaswegian, so quite fiery and very stubborn so that really does not help :lol: How...

Hi everyone, I have been Type 2 for maybe 5 years or so now and had it under control and was doing well...It took me a while to get into it as I was in rebellion mode. However now for the last maybe 6 months or so, if Im honest could be longer I stopped taking my Metformin and have relapsed...

I was doing so well and then had lots of sadness and lost my way...............now 6 weeks later, really cant get my will power started!! need a serious kick up ar** lol :D

Hi all.......... I currently low carb and while Im a supporter I sometimes struggle. I think for me it is the best way to get shot of the weight. However, I am really curious as to how all those on here who dont low carb have lost the weight...............What do you eat...

Thank you both for your advice. I think I may well have to go to the A+E , as I am just getting no relief from it at all. Usually with toothache I can get rid of the pain with strong meds, but this one is horrific, there is just no easing at all! Feels like someone is stabbing my mouth with a...

Hi everyone........... Just started with mild toothache the other day and now it is a raging pain. Taking Co-codamol and Ibuprofen, and it really is not helping at all. It is driving me insane been awake since about 4am with it and just no relief at all. All my own fault, I hate dentists and...

Hi thanks for that information. I get what the net carbs are.............but I guess im still being a little thick here lol SO if im wanting to eat a lowish carb diet of around 50-60G a day............ living in the Uk I would look at the carbs and then deduct the fibre and that is the...

Hi there, Like anyone who has to deal with the control diabetes can have on your life...........it can be very hard to appreciate the good changing your life and taking that control back will do you! I found it hard the first few days.............I was angry and just didn't want to accept...

Hiya, Just wondering if anyone can answer this for me? I have been low carbing for a while now and been doing pretty okay with it. I'm sticking to around 50g a day and seeing results........if I cheat a bit, then its okay as I don't put weight on, so I guess I have found that eating maybe 70G...

Hi Dave, There is plenty of time, but I have promised myself I will be thinner by the summer , plus if I don't see it happening then the willpower will soon disappear lol : Shortbread x

I have been low carbing the last 6 weeks, and Im doing good, was a struggle at first but stuck to around 50-60G a day and steadily losing weight. The last week though Ive been eating about 100ish and not put weight on, but not really losing, so next week Im going back down to 50-60 a day as I...

In The last 6 weeks or so since my diagnois I have been really strict and not eating chocs and staying low carb, about 60g a day. However last week I had a cold and just needed a nice big chocolate hug..........so rather than deprive I had a couple of squares of Green and Black organic...

Hi there, I am recently diagnosed T2 and bought myself a monitor. I rang for a telephone appointment to speak to my doctor as my Diabetic nurse point blank refused to give me a monitor. The doctor replied when I asked for prescription for the strips " we don't really prescribe strips as it...

I do drink diet pepsi etc, but usually the same amount every day.........so not sure why some days are okay and some not! I hate flavoured water.............lol

Thanks Sue, really appreciate your advice!!! Caroline x

Hiya again, No idea, I just notice that sometimes I go to the toilet a lot more than others! One day i will be fine, the next I can go every 30-40 mins and maybe up 3 times through the night, other times I don't go often and not up through the night! Its weird cause its so inconsistent...

It was about 8.5 or something for the 3 I had!!! I needed a nibble and they were all I could find in Marks and Spencers lol
