It is windy and quite cold today and, having done my outdoor chores i am having a warm drink, yoghurt and fruit salad. I am not warming up though Does anyone else have trouble getting warm again after getting cold? It has been worse this winter [which has hardly started!!] than I remember since...

Over the last couple of weeks my sugar levels have been a bit up and down The last 2 mornings I have taken my bloods about an hour after getting up and then had breaksat and then repeated 2 hours later they have been higher before eating than after 2 hours for example this morning I got up at...

My first lot of chicks are a month old now and looking like proper chickens/fowl. They have most of their feathers and practice flying around [which always makes me jump] Hope to put them out next week [subject to weather]in a separate run within the main run so they can get used to the full...

By one this lunch time I have driven 40+ miles, done a BIG shop, unloaded and put away, tidied a cupboard so it would fit in, sorted a freezer for same reason, done the washing, worked around drying clothes, washed up and put away, wiped out oven from last nights escapades and cleaned all the...

Today I attended a Desmond course and, surprising, really felt it was worth while The presentations were clear and open, the discussions were allowed to flow. I was not criticized for the low carb diet and was able to talk about it freely We went through complications and what we could do to...

just been given a lovely cook book [not usually my thing..prefer to experiment] called blood sugar with some really exciting recipies and lovely, stimulating pictures as name suggests it is for diabetics but is not the usual health book format just a proper, everyone for dinner, book. I think...

I was diagnosed type 2 in May and have now got to the stage where I feel more in control despie the fact that often we have to guess how things are going. Fortunately someone from this site donated a tester to me but as I have to buy the bits I do not test, perhaps, as often as I should. I have...

Feeling a bit down today my sugars are up a bit [8.6 before eating] so may be getting something or is it the higher levels making me feel yuk bit of a chicken and egg thing isn't it A shame really as sun is out for a change. i have done some half hearted gardening but now feel like just going to bed

This is just for fun so PLEASE add you thoughts After 60 years I think I am starting to get an idea of how life works 1] Everyone can tell yo what you should have done but few can tell you what to do before the event 2] If someone says 'this won't hurt' run for your life!! 3]If there is...

I think I must be succeeding at the low carb thing! The hardest bit for me has been potatoes...which I LOVE Yesterday we had a family roast and I did make myself a roast potato. However I could not actually eat it all although I really enjoyed half of it. Then felt rather 'full' [gave away other...

This may be a silly question but I have been unable to find what reading I should ideally be aiming for. My 'best' at present has been 5.4 before food and 6.9 after which I am pleased with [better than those old 11's!!] However I have begun to wonder how hard I should work to bring them down...

Had no really bad cravings or what ever trying to stick to a moderately low carb diet....The icecream van [which NEVER comes to our village] drives down the road with all bells blazing and I am a spoilt little kid who will sulk all night because I couldnt have an ice cream!!!!!!!

This is a bit of a silly one but does anyone know if I should eat potatoes with or without skins. I am doing the low carb diet but potatoes are the bit I really miss so have one or 2 new potatoes about 2 - 3 times a week. I do peel them but after spending many years eating potatoes with skins...

Spoke to my doctor on the phone today and feeling a little less stressed. They will not provide meters but have put me down for a 3 monthly blood test for the time being. The diet/menu ideas you sent on to me are helping and I am working out my own eating pattern and have lost 3lb in weight so...
