Ive just come back from the hospital after a dreaded GTT, and the prelim results dont suprise me at all. I took my blood it was 6.6 then I went to the hosp, she took the first lot and put some on a BG stick, it was 7.7, then I had the drink, which wasnt as bad as I was expecting tasting a bit...

Its 1.30 am and Im wide awake ...again. Ive been on Statins since the end of Feb and if Im honest I sometimes forget to take them, but Ive noticed for the last few weeks or so Ive not been able to sleep and Ive regularly been awake to see the sun come up. I put it down to being ill and not...

This is following on from The Pet Thread really. I thought it would be interesting to find out if anyone on here keeps birds, and if so, what type. I have got 3 adult Indian Ring Neck Parrots, 3 5 week old babies, 1 Barraband, 1 Kakariki and about 20 Chinese Painted Quail. I love all of our...

We went out to the new Dobbies garden centre by us, its a bit upmarket and has things we dont see everywhere like Venison and Ostrich, so we had a look around, and I got some Smoked Trout and Salmon mix, some Black Pudding, and a little Haggis, that was reduced. We got home stuck it in the oven...

im just curious really. For no particular reason I decided to download a Kindle app onto my phone and pc, and started reading some of the freebie books, then it was mentioned there was a book on here I should read so I downloaded it before I forgot about it and it was there instantly for £3.99...

Im asking this question because I think Ive got a chest infection, I feel really rough ears hurt, chest is painful etc etc. But Im also not sure if it could have something to do with me being a check out clerk and being in contact will people every day with all their bugs etc? Im normally one...

I called my GP 2 weeks ago to get my results from my latest fasting test, he said that I was borderline from the results but he wanted to put me on medication as soon as possible, he didnt tell me what the results were but I had to go see him 4 days later, when I turned up for that appointment...

Hi I started working for a well known "bottom slapping" supermarket in January, and started feeling ill not long after, so much so that I unknowlingly made a customer cry, got sent to the manager and broke down, and explained that I felt ill etc, and that I might be Diabetic, then went in and...

Help, Ive searched and searched and cant find the thread I came across for making muffins with ground Almonds. Ive even bought the Almonds so Im ready, but its gone, vamooshed, never to be seen again. Can any one point me in the right direction pleassseeee?

I have just had an idea for an omlette type breakfast, but its only a good idea if its low carb (I think it is but would like someone to agree). When I have breakfast it has to be quick as I usually dont have much time, and Ive been thinking what I could do. I took 3 eggs, 1 tsp of green pesto...

I have been trying to think of all the berries there are, as everything seems to shoot my BG skywards, can you add to this list if Ive missed any? And are they all ok for us "sweet bloods" to eat. Raspberry Blackberry Blueberry Gooseberry Loganberry Elderberry Cranberry

I need to put this delicately, but still need to ask the question. What do you guys do if you feel low during ahem "cuddles"? I tested afterwards and was in the 6s but felt a bit out of it at the time, I dont get a lot of cuddles as it is, but felt like it last time too.

Im concerned about my numbers recently, as I posted before my GP has told me he thinks I may have lost enough weight to not be Diabetic, as I am "borderline" and I had a Fasting Test yesterday, I told him my numbers were rising and he didnt seem too concerned, but I am. How can my numbers have...

I have been using my SD Codefree as I couldnt get any strips for my Freestyle Lite, and I had results as high as 12.7, which is concerning me as Ive never had a result that high, and my concern is that if it does this to others they will end up worrying unneceraily and possibly treating for...

I think Ive just been part of a comedy sketch. As far as Im aware once you are Diabetic you cant then be non-Diabetic, but pleae correct me if Im wrong. Last night I posted about my tingling face and my BM being 9.1 and me being up feeling ill till 3 this morn. Well Ive just been to my pre...

I thought I had been doing well, especially without taking Metformin after the troubles Ive been having, but right now my face is tingling, Ive not had this before, my aunt is Diabetic and her lips start tingling when she is low. I havent had a particularly naughty day food wise, Ive eaten...

I was given normal Metformin which I took starting with 1 daily working up to 3 daily over 3 weeks. After 3 days of 1500 I started feeling unwell and thought I had a bug, ended up going to see the nurse and she put me on the SR version. Well this morning I woke up feeling unwell again like I...

For the last few months, even before diagnosis I have found it impossible to get warm, I have been wearing 2 jumpers and a pair of leggings under my trousers and a blanket over me on the sofa and I still cant get warm. I get so cold I cant function and the only thing that warms me up is to get...

I love salami, and I would like to know if its ok to eat, I know its all protein and quite high in fat, but theres no carbs, my cholesterol wont be happy, but I find eating a £1 pack and half a pre made 5bean and mint salad for lunch is really yummy and fills me up nicely. Can I add this to my...

Hi Ladies - and Gentlemen if you are brave enough. Ive just had my first "Ladies Time" since being diagnosed, and as usual I seem to crave sweet things and want to eat a lot more than usual, I was on Met but it didnt make a difference to my appetite. Do you have any hints or tips that you use to...
