I low carb high fat and have done for years, it's a piece of cake ! It's not rocket science is it. Very easy to stick to when you get the good readings. Just don't fall foul of temptation which is probably where most people become unstuck. Eyes bigger than belly syndrome. Good luck all, keep...

Good call Grace ! very moving towards the end, A lot of stuff we are now coming to appreciate. I'm currently in Papworth ( 0130 am ) for some maintenance on the ticker. The food is on the whole very good for a non-diabetic. I have to eat, but the carbs levels for what they call diabetic food...

gosh, how distressing for you, it really could be so many things.... See your doctor for normal checks, i.e BP/pulse, Oxygen levels, BG, all simple tests done straight away with immediate results. I have some experience of being breathless just lately 'cos my new ( 20 years post transplant )...

Disgruntled ! One of the best posts ever on these dear forums ! I wish that I could write so eloquently as you. The gravy train will of course be ridden to the very end by these vested interests and sod the consequences for the bleeting masses who are led by the establishment ( Wolfie Smith )...

Hello ElyDave.... You are right about Papworth, I've been under their care for 20 odd years now, they have kept this old cronk going ! I've seen some astonishing advances in heart treatments over that time. I think that my issue was trying to burn the candle at both ends by trying to keep up...

Statins - Dangerous, pointless, damaging, useless, unless you are raking it in like the evil pharma co's and gps. When the inevitable wotsit hits the fan on this one, heads and pharma co's will roll, it will make the thalidomide catastrophe look like a teddy bears picnic. I wouldn't take them...

Re: Type 2 - Can't get strips sapper71 Slow down lad, I can certainly appreciate your concerns, but a level of 1.3 would have most of us pushing up the daisies. You may not have to pay for testing meter and consumables if you make a good case to your gp/nurse. If not, bite the bullet, you can...

lynton, if you're dad is a well controlled T2 then his advice will be invaluable. I see that daisy hasn't been along with her diet advice yet, I think she is probably busy trying to get rid of all these nuisance adverts for kitchens. The thing about beer/cider etc is that you need to google...

This bombardment is really ticking me off too ! How about we mount a campaign to ring 01616 694785 in a rota , say each of us to devote 10 minutes constantly dialling that number and overload their switchboard. ? I called at 0630 this am and got the usual queueing message. Or perhaps we could...

Just had a week in the Papworth Hotel, food was on the whole well cooked and a good choice. Like an earlier poster said you take your choice of what is on offer, don't expect to be pandered to, it's not their job. Make intelligent choices and get people to bring in foodstuffs that suit your...
