I have read that before about gliclazide, what I plan to do, and I am not sure if this is be being naive, was to get down lower then to see my diabetic nurse about stopping gliclazide. I have an appointment with her on May 12.

Hi, I don't really know, I remember also a long time ago, I was given powdered potato and the same thing happened. Willing to try different things. I have tried almond milk, soya milk and oaty but do not like them in tea. So having cream in coffee seemed a second alternative. (I am normally a...

Hi, would you mind giving me advice on carb counting please? How many carbs for each meal. Do I count carbs for vegetables? Thank you for your patience. Also can anyone recommend a carb counting app?

Well, I am using the full website, less stressful. Thanks

Hi new to all this, I have downloaded the app but unfortunately it does not allow me to post reply, keeps saying I do not have permission to reply. Anyone know how I can over come this?

Thank you all, I am gradually getting an insight to all of this. X

I have been seeing a few mentions on the lidl protein rolls. I shall try them for breakfast. I am going to try and find a list of carb values. And try and work out an allowance for each meal and a couple of treats. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you
