Ginger, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and s cinnamon stick in hot water does it all!

I have Ulcerative Colitis and last week I had a flare up. K felt like rubbish in every respect. The blood loss and exhaustion made my BG levels were sky high then plunged. First time for me very scary. Have a blood test tomorrow and then a fight for a Dr appointment. I am guessing the loo...

8.1 in morning by lunchtime 3.1! Feel a bit bizarre. Rang surgery for an appointment nothing for........3 weeks! I don't go there unless it's for a blood test because it's just a bloody battle. It's half term so I will have to try the early morning quest for an appointment and blood test...

Morning I have been diagnosed now for some 8 months. Everything is going well, lost a lot of weight, LCHF diet, getting used to it all! Over the last week my BG levels have become erratic 3.5 - 9.1. I have not changed my eating habits and really cannot explain these changes. I have a blood...

This morning I had reading of 5.9. Had usual breakfast, lunch was chicken and cheese. Had a very difficult and stressful day. Got home reading of 7.9! Clearly nothing I had eaten so can raised levels be increased by stress/anxiety to that degree!? I was really quite shocked by this rise!

Don't have such a person but what a good idea! I will certainly have to have a closer look at this. It has not happened before it is just circumstantial really but I don't not want it to happen again it is proving to be a bit of a nuisance!

Thank you. I will pay if necessary for a spare box! Some days it's just impossible to get it all done! C

My FBG does not seem to drop below around 6.1-6.3 regardless of what I eat or do. My thyroxine dose has been been dropped from 200 to175 and after an absolute no alteration in weight fir 6 months following the LCHF diet that is now creeping up! I am absolutely fed up being so very careful and...

Very steep learning curve! The only way for me was testing! Some big suprised like Incan have 8 Haribos and it does nothing! 2 potatoes and its through the roof! So it's all trial and error with testing. I did it for 6 months which gave me good info. I still test daily and if I have...

Use Arnica cream. It softens the skin and reduces bruising.

Where do you get these from? I know about Medic Alert but the more flashy type look good!?!?!?

Try it! Be sensible about it but, personally I don't have a great faith in Doctors. You know your body better than they do, go for it and good luck. X

Let me know when you have an answer!?!? I have the same issues and just cannot pin point the reason!

Can somebody please tell me what this is?!?! Read about it a lot on here but have no idea where to find the nitty gritty contents!?!?!

My biggest thing about non-testing especially for T2 is that it is an essential tool to at least try and prevent any real problems manifesting in years to come. I think it is a false economy and, more than likely ends up costing the NHS much more than it might when the situations becomes...

Why don't Lidl make a loaf of bread not just rolls? Would be use for sandwiches or toast?

I buy slimline tonic with lime, Tesco own brand it has very little effect on me. You can also get soda water with lime that's fine as well!?!?
