Just talking with the wife tonight and realised that since i was diagnosed with Diabetes on new years eve I have not had a day off work all year, the first time in a number of years that that has happened. I wondered if the medication i am on and/or the better control of my Blood Sugars have...

I have just had my first 3 monthly Hba1c test. It has reduced from my initial test upon diagnosis from 10.2 to 7.4. Is this good, what should i really be aiming for ?. It has been tough as i tend to comfort eat and my mother has just been diagnosed with lung cancer so the "feel good" food has...

I have read that whilst your body has insulin floating around in the bloodstream it cannot burn fat. Check out Dr Bernstiens's book, The Diabetes Solution, that covers a lot of medical stuff on what is happening in your body when you have diabetes.

WELCOME ONE AND ALL Steve

.. its worse its the end of Jelly Babys!!! : Saw this on another thread and thought it would make a good one line topic, thanks to bobro for the above. Anymore anyone ?. Steve

Has anyone read the Dr Bernstein book "Diabetes Solution" and implemented his programme. Got the book of amazon and i have read about a quarter of it so far. It does go into a lot of detail about the medical side of diabetes but it is very informative. It certainly contradicts some orthodox...

Sometime in he evening say 9pm ?. That way most people will have got their tea out of way and the daily soap fix :) Steve

Intrestingly, I have just had my first appointment with a dietician after being diagnosed. She did not tell me to "carb count" but to make sure i have starchy carbs with each meal ie, low gi carbs to try an even out the blood sugar during the day so it does not spike so much. She was more...

Choc, I always try to have my meals at around the same time and usually have my main carb meal at teatime, unless i am working late. Then i will have my main meal at midday and have a snack tea at work. I will normally need a slice of toast later on as i will get peckish when i have worked...

Bella, I understand completely, my problem is crisps, can't resist them. It is a matter of willpower. You just need to figure out why you want chocolate and remove that issue, or find out a trigger to remind you when you are tempted that you do not need them. Someone on the forums...

Just thought i would post an update as it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Seen the nurse again, suggest testing strips, she does not think i need them but will review the situation after my next full blood test which is due in March. She followed that up by putting me on...

Thanks Karen, thats has been a great help. As you say it is a lifestyle thing, been for another gp appointment this week and they have now put me on Blood Pressure tablets. I am sure this is more related to the stress caused by my Job. Maybe what i really need is to sit down and take...

My GP Nurse has been trying force statin on me for the last 2 visits. My CL was 5.5 which was not bad for a fat lad. I have told her that i want to control it by dieting but she did not seem impressed. Steve

Question for Chocfish. Karen, In the thread above you mention about oils, complimentary stuff and super healthy diet. I know this sounds lame but as a new person trying to figure all this out but could you possibly post details of what exactly you are taking and the diet you are...
