How long was it before they found out you were type 1 not type 2? I have no idea if they have tested me for Type 1 but will ask at my next appointment Thanks

I've been using Flora for the 3 years that i have had diabetes i never have much because i don't really like it but i have to have something on my toast, i swapped to Flora instead of butter but i use if far less than i used to butter,i occasionally use a thin scraping if i have a sandwich but...

I will indulge in a glass of red wine now and again its one of my fav drinks, i did more or less gave up alcohol about 10 years ago but still have an occasional tipple usually the odd glass of champagne or a pimms, actually when i pigged out on my birthday i had a glass of red wine too maybe...

Another point about Champix is that usually the drug is only taken for 10 days as by Day 10 you should have stopped smoking so its not a long term medication, if it does cause damage it must be fairly quick acting and long lasting

Hi Sue and thanks I have read this on the net too and will certainly discuss at the clinic later this month, i have mentioned this to 3 doctors at my practice and none have thought it could have any bearing on my high levels but I hadn't seen the article when i mentioned it, in fact the non...

Actually have only started eating grapes since the high blood sugar using them to munch on as i thought better than M&M's or biscuits guess i had better sip red wine instead but i have read that they may be quite good for diabetics http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080318094514.htm

The only different medications i have been on are Champix & thrush cream i didn't know that grapes were high carb, knew they are high sugar but read that the skins are good for diabetes plus i love them 15.0 Thanks Pam

Hi yes i realise the advice given is good advice but i can't see the relevance to my circumstances. Today (morning bsl 11.9) i slice of Weightwatchers wholegrain bread toasted with a thin scraping of Flora extra light for breakfast (2 hour bsl 11.7), this was at 11am as i overlayed, no lunch as...

Either I am not expressing myself too well or you are not reading my posts, i am NOT feeling tired since the high bsl's in fact i am feeling better than i have over the last 3 years since I was diagnosed and I HAVE been eating correctly for the last 8 weeks since the 1st high bsl! My problem is...

hi thanks for the reply but i have already really cut down all the empty starches, sugar, pasta, bread, rice, potatoe.... Apart from one day (my birthday) i have eaten only foods that i am allowed, yes maybe occasional pasta, bread potatoes but only small amounts and not every day (get so much...

I was dignosed Type 2 about 3 years ago and taking Metformin, my bs levels were always around 8 or so my metformin was gradually increased to the maximum dose, this didn't seem to lower the levels but i was ok although often tired and took naps. It was so consistent that i stopped blood testing...
