I've just started taking 10ml and have been suffering from really badly swollen ankles and calves; never had this before. Definitely stopping! Sent from my SM-T710 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Just spoke to my hairdresser who is Korean and she recommended bitter melon, apparently native also to Vietnam. I'd be interested to know if it is easily available there and what you think...[emoji4] also tangles sea weed in thick sheets - she says it's full of vitamins and good for diabetics...

Yeah, just checked in Holland & Barrett- 73 versus c.30 in buckwheat so I think the latter is a better choice [emoji4] Sent from my SM-T710 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thanks so Much! Incredibly useful. I'll give it a serious thought. I don't really do shifts, rather running around sites to meetings, inspections, up and down scaffolding. Try to plan and carry food but sometimes too exhausted in the evening to cook or prepare...[emoji4] Sent from my SM-T710...

Hi guys, I also have a hectic job with completely no routine answer have been struggling a bit. This is the first time I heard of libre- would love to try it but it's expensive so would really appreciate your feedback - is it comfortable and doesn't catch on clothes etc? Is it not painful or...

Hi Robert72, I'm thinking of changing to Tresiba, too and just wondered- what do you mean by flat? Thanks! Sent from my SM-T710 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Hi Ewelina, I'm thinking of going to Vietnam next year, only for three weeks but am worried about food a bit - I cannot really eat rice and am generally on low carb diet with occasional portion of buckwheat and a slice of rye bread... thanks for your advice! :)

Hi Alberti, sorry to go slightly off topic but I am thinking of going to Vietnam next year but worrying about food am on low carb diet so should get plenty of meat, fish and veggies but in my experience of south-east asian restaurants in London is that many dishes use lots of added sugar -...

Hi, thanks. I'm speaking to my GP on Thursday. But in the past (I was never heavy, c.70kg) I found that the only way to put on weight is to eat pizza, chocolate, chips and pasta. I will not do that now - it's other healthy even for non-diabetics. Also potatoes and rice for example give me huge...

Love red wine and definitely enjoy a few glasses [emoji6] but it seems I have to cut down at the moment as been having lots of cramps and as alcohol seems to flush out magnesium and potassium it is probably wine that exacerbate the problem. Also wine wrecks havoc to my BG - really low in the...

Very wise - balanced and tailored approach is definitely best. And that's what my consultant has told me - muscles not fat. Shame she also said it's not necessary to do carb counting yet. But am seeing my GP on Thursday so will ask her if the diabetic nurse can give me some instructions. Have...

But if you increase carbs don't you have to take more Insulin? I don't really want to do that. And I'm eating lots of avocado, nuts and nut butter but it's not helping. May try fatty meats.. Sent from my SM-T710 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I wonder if it' possible on type 1? I have the same problem - 6'10 and 63kg, would love to have some meat on my bones! [emoji6] Sent from my SM-T710 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Hello timbeag, lavender is an overall relaxant, the only oil you can put directly on your skin without mixing with so-called Base oil (eg. Almond oil). You can use oils (a few drops) in water, for a soak, without Base oil but if you massage into skin always mix, others than lavender, with...
