I think it's easy to panic when we are told we must look after our feet, but I would think the advice I've read before, which is to keep the wound clean and use some antiseptic cream would be sufficient. I assume if you suffer from neuropathy and loss of feeling there is much more to be careful...

What a wonderful amazing and inspirational story."Well done" does not do you justice, but thanks for sharing.

I would recommend having a chat with your GP or DSN about this. When we were toying with the idea of a second baby, my GP referred me to the diabetic consultant in the gynae dept at the local hospital. It was enormously useful, she gave me all the possible scenarios, medications, complications...

Having a father, aunt and grandparent with Type 2, my GP said the same thing- Not if, but when! He was right.

Wow you guys are brilliant, loving these tips! Makes me thinks about tightening my own rules now I'm two months into my new regime. I too: Test before bed and test on waking Plan, plan, plan those meals, always cook from scratch Wear slippers for the first time in my life (I used to...

Very well done, that's very impressive. Congrats on the hard work!

Hello all, Now I have your attention.... Have been low carbing and successfully reducing blood sugar readings for last seven weeks and my diet has been quite strict and I haven't had a drink and it isn't something I am normally bothered about... But I have a significant birthday celebration...

Hiya all, Can I join in? I have lost 16lbs in 7 weeks, 2lb this week, on general low carb, high protein diet.Would love to loose it quicker but this is good too, as I am very much treating it as new way of eating rather than a "diet" and the original purpose was to lower blood sugar which has...

Hello Graham Welcome, you have come to the right place here! I am 7 weeks in to a low carb eating regime inspired by what I read and learnt on here and it has done me, my blood sugar levels and my weight a world of good. Good luck!

I love this one, as an chocoholic, and an ex big milk chocolate fan, this is the nicest by far I think, and would agree with an earlier post, I can have a chunk of this in moderation once or twice a week to satisfy a craving without a big impact on the BS.

Thanks, may have to give it a try!

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn Obviously everyone is different but the DP is certainly happening to me, for example my reading on rising this morning, literally 5 mins after getting up, was 5.9. An hour later before my breakfast it was 7.3. So my BS is rising by...

And how did the almond porridge taste?

Mmmmm... these all sound lovely! Just adding the salmon and courgettes, and the sausage muffin ingredients to this weeks shopping list.. I bet the muffins would work quite well with smoked bacon instead of sausages too.

Fascinating and informative thread this, have been reading this for days and thought as a relative newbie, I would add my thoughts... Although I am only 4 weeks into my new low carb eating regime, I have been T2 for about 4 years, and had never heard the phrase "eat to your meter" before...

No, wasn't me, looks like I missed that one! Will have to see how much it is now....

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn Up at the ungodly hour of 5am ( for an airport run) I broke the 6 barrier at 5.9!! So I'm a very happy (Easter) bunny! :D

Hi Sandra, When I first logged on here a few weeks ago, I noticed that some members were recommending that newbies wanting to low carb get hold of a carb counter or carb book. I went and bought one called "Carbs and Cals, A visual guide for carbohydrate counting and calorie counting for people...

If it helps, I recently drove my DSN, GP and optition a bit mad worrying about this. I had a thorough check up and reassurance from all the health professionals and have come away feeling much much less worried. From the beginning, I felt like they ALL thought I was a bit daft to be so worried...

Very well done!! :clap:
