I once went to get my repeat prescription filled when the pharmacist decided he needed to do a meds and lifestyle review, after telling me how and when to take meds that I had been taking for years, the conversation went as follows: Pharmacist- Do you smoke ? Me (impatient by now)- No, I gave...

Hi, another cause for irregular heartbeat can be electrolyte imbalance, I would suggest you get tested for magnesium and potassium levels.Hope this helps.

Hi, irregular heartbeat can also be caused by magnesium deficiency, sometimes happens when on a low carb diet.

Hi, shaking can be caused by vitamin B deficiency, especially vit B12. If it IS this then it`s easily cured with diet or a supplement. Either way no real point in worrying (although I know it`s hard not to). Chris.

You really need to ask your GP or pharmacist.

Very true, it`s unfortunate however that even that one single step is shackled to a ball and chain of misinformation from the "authorities". It makes for very slow progress.

Hi, with your GP in my opinion. Chris.

Bet that causes a stir in the gym!

Checked by Diabetes UK eh? .......how very reassuring;)

That`s great! has he answered it though?

Hi, if you want to drink beer then the best one that I know of is Marston`s Resolution Low C. It`s a bottled beer and comes out at 1.65g carbs per 1/2 pint.

My tastes have definitely changed, at one time I couldn`t STAND the taste of cauliflower, broccoli, kale etc. and sprouts were the devils own work! Happily I now enjoy all of them, although I usually have some butter with them. I agree about the potatoes, a meal just doesn`t seem complete...

Hi, I just looked it up and it`s first claim is that it helps in the production of insulin, a bit misleading this as many, many T2`s don`t have a problem with insulin production, it`s insulin resistance that we normally suffer with. Another claim is that it stops carb cravings, well to be honest...

Take away the bun as well and you could be right.
