Hi what is a accu check cassette? Never heard of it. :think:

Hello. I have just bought six boxes of accu check test strips on eBay for sixty pounds. Is that a good price do you think? Free postage. None have been opened and all are dated 2014 Maddie

I was reading on another diabetic sight today that when you are counting the carbs in what your eating you don't have to count the fibre because it doesn't turn to sugar. Can anyone tell me if that is correct. This was an American sight I think.

I feel grumpy, tired, and bones ache.

I have a problem on what to eat for breakfast. I'm wheat and gluten intolerant, also I'm sick to death of eggs and bacon so I don't eat anything until lunch time. The only proper meal I have is diner. I wasn't feeling very well at all to day I'm sure it's because I'm not eating enough. Anyone...

Has anyone notice that lately there is more positive health news about avoiding high carbs? Hints on how to cut sugar out and some veg. That has to be a good move. It's taken them long enough to realise that it not fats that are the enemy but the CARBS!! Not only for diabetics. :thumbup:

Thanks for the advise I know I worry far to much. I'm now going to try and relax a bit more, only take my BG if I think I have eaten the wrong food for me. I only have a tiny bar of plain chocolate now and again over 70%. I feel less stressed about it all now. My BS only goes to twelve when I...

Thanks for reply. I eat off a smaller plate so don't eat so much now, I eat veg meat maybe a couple potatos. eggs, bacon, cheese, cream , fish, no fruit. Plain chocolate and a couple of wheat free oat cakes a day with butter. I weigh 8st 10 I used to weigh 9st 6 I'm 5ft 0. I don't ask for any...

Good saying for me is "never put off until tomorrow what can be done today" I keep saying it to my husband but he does not take a blind bit of notice :thumbdown:

Are scotch eggs low carb?

If you had the perfect food store cupboard for diabetes diet what would be in it? Mine is. Cream, butter, berries, plain chocolate,full fat milk, meats. That sounds unhealthy!

Although I'm feeling well I'm losing to much weight. Not only that I think I'm getting obsessed with carbs. My husband is getting worried and keeps saying I'm not eating enough, he drives me mad. When I say I have to keep an eye on my carbs he says I don't have too, only have to do that when...

What a great article, I have always thought that this high cholesterol business being a lot of rubbish. A lot to do with the drug companies making money, in fact I think its bad to have low cholesterol when you get older. All the doctors want to do is put you on cholesterol pills. It will all...

If I eat any grain what so ever I feel so ill, and drop off to sleep all over the place :oops: when I went for my gloucose intolerance test I had to wait in the surgery I told the nurse I will fall asleep. She said she had to laugh because when she walked pass I had the book on my lap looking...

I just wanted to ask why shouldn't you squeeze your fingers to get blood. It's the only way I can get any?

I have bought some full fat cows milk yogurt. Read somewhere that its low in carbs, its so nice and thick. Anyone know if its okay to eat. Tesco new one.

I have just read a bit of the book suggested and it tells you to eat carbs potatoes, bread etc. know wonder we all get confused.

What do they no!!!!!doctors drive me nuts i really haven't got any faith in them at all, also the nurses are just as bad, and don't even get me started on the dieticians I have seen a few and they wasn't any help at all. Just take notice of the advice you get on here. What a bloody nerve the...

I think we should bring it to people's attention on Facebook, twitter etc and warn all your friends who have dogs. The more we spread the information the better. It said on the news today that all dogs have to be chipped by 2016 bloody good idea!!!!! Don't leave dogs in cars, outside shops or in...

I have been trying to find more out about cinnamon as I'm thinking of trying a supplement. Has anyone tried it? If yes how much are you taking and do you think it helps with your blood sugar??
