I've never been that convinced by the "low carbers" arguments nor have I fully agreed with the official medical advice to "eat plenty" starchy etc food eg potatos, bread etc, etc. I do realise that everyone's circumstances are different but I'm lucky enough to be able to treat my condition by...

Hi all, As I've already mentioned, I'm a type 2 diabetic controlled by diet only. I was diagnosed in late August 2009. I've been doing very well so far. Today I had to attend hospital for an unrelated procedure but also had my blood pressure taken. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was...

On Monday evening, I had three pints of real ale. Tuesday, I treated myself to a "fish tea" and three beers. Wednesday, Potato soup followed by Sea bass with new potatoes. Yesterday, I went to the Caprice Italian restaurant for lunch. Of course, I still had my usual breakfast cereals and other...

Is it only me or does any one else prefer soup which hasn't been "liquidised" and/or "creamed"? Unfortunately, that's what's usually seved up in many restaurants these days. While it's still tasty enough and obviously quite good for those with no teeth :lol: , I'd imagine that it's less...

I've just been away for about a fortnight and have indulged myself a little. Not too badly though and I only seem to have put on about 3lbs which I'm sure I'll lose in a couple of days (then resume my diet to reach my target weight..about 12 stone). Considering I've lost about 3 stone so far...

For those of you who don't know, we have the best ice cream in the country up here. :) I used to eat large cartons at a time as it was so delicious. Of late, this has been a taboo for obvious reasons although today I treated myself to a small wafer. I've only had ice cream twice since August...

Hi all, I've been doing very well but now we're coming up to the Chistmas and New Year period which I've always thought was a "scunner" (Scottish word) at the best of times. If it were only two days, it wouldn't be so bad but it stretches for weeks. :( Now, of course, I intend to be good...

I wonder about such definitions and descriptions and feel that such terms are possibly unhelpful. :? Can anyone confirm that there is such such a condition as this which will go away if you take the correct steps in terms of diet, weight loss, and treatment? Or will it always return if you...

I'm expecting a bit of disagreement here, especially after reading many of the threads so far. :wink: Anyway, I was diagnosed as Type 2 in late August and since then I've made a determined effort to lose weight, keep fit, and generally adopt a fairly sensible diet. I've managed to lose over 2...

Since I was diagnosed, I've already lost about one and a half stone(On purpose) but would be happy to lose a bit more weight still to get below the 13 stone mark which would be within the higher range of of my ideal weight range. Hopefully before Christmas... Mmm :roll: Anyway, I have...

Hi all, I've been recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes but don't feel that bad...yet. In fact, I've managed to lose quite a lot of weight and have been taking much more exercise. So, really I'm feeling pretty good overall. :? However, I do know that it's not as simple as that! I had...
