    Thoughts and Results from the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

    I have already posted extensively on this thread about the differences between the two courses I have been on and was just saying I have both sets of materials. I was being less than honest in saying that I could upload the pdfs. Apologies.

    Thoughts and Results from the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

    Just to clarify that the Eatwell plate is not part of the WW prediabetic course materials. It was included in the ICS course, but was tempered with information about better food choices (lower carb, no added sugar, etc.) for each quadrant of the plate. It was also used as a guide to portion...

    Ideas for removing footwear with velcro fasteners please.

    WOW! I'm blown away by all these great ideas! Thank you all so much. I think the best thing to do now is to show him the ideas and see what he thinks (he's got all his marbles). His shoes are expensive, but that's more to do with being suitable for him rather than a fashion statement! At the...

    Thoughts and Results from the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

    I'm vegetarian and have been for over 20 years now, but my rule of thumb is that the best veggies carb-wise are grown above ground - one of the things that I learned from Diet Doctor right at the start. The Eat Well plate was covered on the ICS Health and Wellbeing course, but so was making...

    Ideas for removing footwear with velcro fasteners please.

    Ooh that's a good idea, especially if I can get some longer metal one. Might have seen something like that for using on a bbq. Thank you - will be googling for this in the morning!

    Ideas for removing footwear with velcro fasteners please.

    He gets those little mail order catalogues selling aids for the elderly and disabled (actually I think he's on the mailing list for every single one! :joyful:), so he buys anything he thinks might be useful. Many are not! :joyful:

    Ideas for removing footwear with velcro fasteners please.

    Funnily enough we were trying his grabber out tonight! :). The grabber bit is just not strong enough, but I have found some grabbers that are supposed to be heavy duty - strong enough to pick up a can of beans. I am going to order one for him, but there seems to be a basic design fault that...

    I was allocated the purple plan which has lots of carb heavy options and changed myself to blue to remove the temptation. I followed Diet Doctor from its introduction and learned a lot. We've been trying to do LCHF for a couple years, although I lean more towards just low carb because I still...

    Ideas for removing footwear with velcro fasteners please.

    Hi, My 86 year old FiL has been T2 diabetic for over 20 years and recently he had his big toe removed because of infection (poor circulation and neuropathy). Before this he had a carer first thing in the morning to bathe his feet and use moisturiser on them and his lower legs. He wears the...

    Thoughts and Results from the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

    I did the programme last year and the provider was ICS Health and Wellbeing. There were several providers around the country depending on the who won the contract for the area. Originally I was supposed to attend as part of a group at a local health centre. Unfortunately lockdown kicked in and...

    Lidl high protein roll

    Can I just mention this is the nutritional information I posted after I contacted Lidl when the rolls were first introduced? Since then at both the stores near me has been selling a much smaller roll, so the amounts will be less.

    Say It Ain't So; Lidl Discontinue Protein Rolls.

    Just had the same problem in Lidls tonight. I've posted a question about it on the Lidls Facebook page, so hopefully we'll get answer. My post is in the Visitors Posts section if anyone would like to 'Like' it! Edit: Also posted about it in the #LidlSurprise thread.
