Just noseying through dive related posts. Lots of good advice but I'd strongly recommend not drinking fizzy drinks before a dive. There was a near fatality a number of years ago in the uk where all the gas expanded in the stomach and then as the guy came up ... Another good risk reducer is a...

Interesting reading. Has anyone considered diving with a full face mask/regulator ? God forbid anyone has a hypo in the water but it could be the difference between life and not being so alive

Hope all got sorted and you are feeling better

Can I ask something ? Are all you people with great readings using medication. Anything below 9 is cause for celebration with me at present. I am diet controlled and trying to reduce it. ( 2hrs after meals pretty much always below 8 ) I am eating pretty well and low carb about 1 to 1 1/2 st...

That's great ! They will know best ! Really really hope it works quickly for you.

Lion's midget gems seem to lower mine . Crazy

Thanks. Think it's hidden now

Ok so I have put a dog pic on as I was feeling left out ( I don't own a dog but I do have a snorkel and flippers ) On a more serious note ...how do I edit it on my phone as my d.o.b is there for all to see which I'm advised is not clever. In other news I've eaten NO chocolate or crisps today...

Good luck. There are various versions of it but the relief is incredible. Who cares if you look like a 'mummy' Hope you get some respite soon. H

Do you have an out of hours dr ? Get an appt. beg for a viscopaste medicated bandage or equivalent with tubegrip to cover the limbs. Instant relief

Thank you btw

Mash Cauliflower sounds yum. Will try that

Not sure if it assists but when I was diagnosed I used 'My fitness pal' It worked well for recording all food/exercise and I put my meter readings in the notes bit. It was not specifically for diabetics so there may be better apps. It's free !

Wow. Who knew. I can't risk anything at present that may raise bs/bg as my job at risk. I will start experimenting next month but learning loads already. Thanks

Is sweet potato on the naughty list ? I thought it was better to eat than potato ( I'm new to this )

I have set record on the televisionbox. Appreciate the heads up

Thank you all so much. I have read up a bit hence knowing weight training and low carbs are good but that was my limit of understanding. Appreciate the advice and support. Tomorrow morning I begin

Thank you for your reply. I do own one but we are no longer friends since early December. When things were going well I was using 'my fitness pal ' and eating less carbs. I.e I was eating meat , salads , veg and pretty much stayed off bread/crisps/ pasta and chocolate ( my biggest weakness )...

Hi , I've finally come on here. I am a bit of a technophobe about links and googlebites etc I am recently diagnosed Type 2. In my 40s 5'10 and currently13st 3 I was doing well and got down to 12st 3 and lowered my blood sugar enough to be diet controlled but hey ...guess what ... I have an...

Static 192 ... Did you get any joy ? There is a bodybuilder in Scotland with diabetes and various other conditions Steven Cystic Fibrosis Carr ( on Facebook ) I am sure he would happily advise you. He has been in the national press
