I was told it was run by Paula Carr charity too but that I can't be included because I'm Deaf! It seems I'm forever having to make allowances for the 'hearing' such as lip reading them and they do nothing to make allowances for the Deaf. :(

Sorry for not being around much but I'm 'Trying' to spend time looking up Type 2 as my Dr's surgery has been pretty useless. Got the tablets, they're ok, Confused as hell about everything else but I'm gradually having to try and find out myself. Have asked to be referred to a dietician to help...

Hi and Thank you, Yes I'm keeping a food Diary that consists mainly of fish and veg at present sometimes with a jacket potato (medium size) Today before eating my BG was 5.5 then usually 2 hrs aftr eating it's between 7.0 and 8.0. First thing in the morning my fasting BG is around 7.1 now but I...

WOW! You have done so well. I'm newly diagnosed and there's so much out there in the way of conflicting advice :stop:! Low carbs, high fat, High carbs, low fat, blah blah blah and for the newly diagnosed it's just feeling like brain storming! I don't know how I'm suppose to keep my calories up...

This is interesting. I have diabetic preserve but what's the 'sugars' in these rolls please?

Hello all, does anyone know how people keep their calories up please on a mediterranean diet??? I'm prescribed metformin as it seems most are and so wondered if anyone knew? I've lost half a stone in a week. Any ideas please? :(

I'm on 8.0 too. But it IS slowly coming down.

I was diagnosed Type 2 On Saturday after being taken unwell and ending up in casualty. I've found this site and so far it's helped me a lot in not feeling quite so alone as being Deaf I'm already quite isolated where I live. At the moment I'm not sure what I can or can't east or drink but DO...

Thank you, everyone here has been so amazingly helpful, I just can't thank people enough really. It's harder when you're Deaf and you live alone too. I have high blood pressure also. I had no-one to ask anything of at all until I found this site. I THINK I'm getting there though as each day it...

I love nuts so that's certainly an option I really hadn't thought of. thank you. I'm sorry to everyone for seeming such an idiot but this is all new to me. :-(

How do you keep your sugar level stable though? Mine is all over the place. My readings over the last few days are something like, 22.3, 13.9, 9.5, 14.0 :(

Yes Thanks hun, The Dr gave me 500mg tablets to start a fresh and build up to the full 2000mg dose over a few weeks. Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Hi, Thank you. Ok first things first. I won't ever have to worry about sweets cakes or bisuits as I hate them! The ONLY biscuit ever found in my home is Rich Tea and that's because it was the least sweet one I could find over the years. I'm more into savoury things but of course now things like...

This is really interesting and helpful Thank you. I'm not obese and so they don't want to worry about diet at the moment just to get the sugar levels under control. I've only just stopped steroids which I've had to have for a very long time and had already lost 10lb without even trying due to...

Thank you, I'm still very confused at the moment. The Dr has started it all from scratch with 500mg tablets negating the need to cut in half so this week 500mg morning only, next week 500mg morning and eve, the week after 1000mg morning and 500mg eve then the week after that 1000 morning and eve...

lol, Thank you so much for the course contact though. There is one in Gillingham which is quite a way from where I live here in Folkestone, kent as I live on the coast. However, My Dr today did mention 'something' about a 'course' that would help teach me all I need to know and she said I can...

Thank you. Talk about confused....... :-(

Ok, I had a look at some carbs on some products in the supermarket today afterwards and it seems that if the carbs are low then the fats are high :( The problem is I still feel pretty awful and wish I could have stayed looking longer but I just couldn't.
