I hear you. I call my endo "The Heifer". Saying no more :rolleyes:

I def won't waste 6 weeks of his life waiting for a blood test if he is still suffering like he has been this week! TY xxx

That's very interesting, ty. I have a very rare adrenal condition - isolated ACTH deficiency - and something similar happens with people like me. Docs will keep testing the thyroid hormones but in us they will give a false reading. Endocrinology must be one of the hardest things to understand!

Got hold of a doc, who was very good. He said the blood results showed clearly that he was over dosed and that sometimes this could mimic the symptoms of being under dosed. So agreed to drop his thyroxine from 125mc to 100mc for 6 weeks then get bloods done again, and see how things are. If no...

I def will get his numbers, but they don't do T3s. This is why I'm worried, he sounds low and I wonder if the receptionist got it round the wrong way. He's currently on 125mc a day and she said drop the 25mc pill and only take the 100.

No online access in this practice as yet! Will phone them tomorrow!

Yes 111 is an option, and will prob get more sense out of them than the surgery! Re the thyroxine, I just thought his symptoms sound like he is going lower, and would need his meds upped. Instead, she told him to reduce. I better phone somebody then in case she has got it wrong. Ellie thyroid...

Rural Scotland, practice has no apps, you have to phone in. And no diabetic specialist nurses.. :(

Husband been diagnosed 16 years or so, still diet controlled - no meds. No changes to diet etc recently. Odd symptoms -but we can't get him seen by a gp as our practice is seeing only emergencies due to staff shortages. I just wondered if I describe what's going on, and if any of you can relate...

Grate it onto yoghurt and stuff.

I'm on steroids for life HSSS, and that changes how your metabolism deals with carbs so yes it's possible to go diabetic in time. I'm going to try it anyway as I like Bernstein's attitude & thinking. :)

It would def make mealtimes and menu plans easier - I just wasn't sure about the butter and cream part of Bernstein. I love it but it would pile up the calories maybe? IDK, will try it and see!

Husband has been on (and sometimes off) the Bernstein diet but he's been diagnosed since 2008 and is still diet controlled, no meds - so I know it works for him. I'm just wondering if it would for me too. I like the way of cooking etc but thought maybe it's only geared for diabetics, you know? I...

Would you say Bernstein is keto? and Any idea if Bernstein would work for me as well as hubby - I'm not diabetic but am on life long steroids and they are putting my weight up. Any input welcome :)

I've been doing soup that way for 58 years, since I got married - but now want easier ways munkki. I can do it with the same ingredients though, Many thanks x :)

I've got a soup maker Resurgam, love it :)

Yes I know that, I just meant the total of fat/protein/carbs/sugar etc.

Thanks Rachox!

Where can I find a quick and easy list of total carbs/protein/sugars in common foods?
