I've had a scare lately, a very close pal has had a stroke ( albeit minor) aged just 39. We're both of the same ilk, love a beer or seven, adore red meat and game and eat for pleasure. His illness hasn't half scared me into realising that at 46, I need to get my backside moving and lose some...

I'm on 1000g x 2 a day... The beer that knocks me sideways is Stella Artois, it REALLY upsets my stomach, sometimes with just one pint of it or a can.. Real ale is fine, as is wine, but if I have a night out or a party and drink over 5 pints, I know the following day is written off due to a...

Ello Wendle! Thanks for the reply, no blood present, Ive been 4 times this morning, starting a new job tomorrow so not wanting to keep disappearing!! I think a trip back to GP is in order, but he keeps mentioning insulin, which as a driver is the worst thing that could happen, I am sure I...

Hi All.. Please be advised that this post maybe a little graphic... I apologise in advance.. I have been diagnosed type 2 for 8-9 years now, and until recently have had good control. My medication has been changed several times throughout. I started out on Gliclazide, but found this sent me...

Agreed with Lib.. I'd have a big spike on that!

hmmmm not a nut fan....

Labs... canine dustbins! :lol: all legs, paws and slobbers, such a lovely breed of dog. Thanks for the advice, I do like the idea of a cold meat breakfast, and also the pate in lettuce leaf sounds divine, but lettuce hates me!! Makes metformin look like an angel :shock: !! We're off to Bury...

Hi All.. Recently i have gone through a big change, after feeling unwell, and not testing, I discovered I was running BG's at 18-20. A drastic change of diet, alcohol intake and help and advice from this forum, my BG's are between 4.9 and 8.1.. My average reading is 6.7. However, as I type...

arrgggghh not sausages :lol: :lol: I've seen enough sausages and scramblers to last me a lifetime :lol: I like the idea of pate, but I really do miss a bowl of shreddies...

Hi All.. What do you low carbers eat for breakfast? I am starting a new job soon with 6 am starts, so really am going to be pushed, plus, i am getting fed up of scrambled eggs already! What will fill me up and give me a good start to the day without having to take up too much time. Thanks in...

And me!! :thumbup: :wave:

Top stuff Hana.. Am I right in saying then that as soon as I see summat spike my BG's it's not for me? Will go peek on Amazon now for some book ideas. Ta Kev :thumbup: :wave:

Hi all.. Since joining the forum, I have learned plenty about Diabetes, the carbs thing has puzzled me a little, what with Low GI and all that.. When I felt unwell recently, I went to my GP and asked for dietary advice, he mentioned porridge and shredded wheat as breakfast.. I am testing pre...

Agree with Sid on this.. I have just renewed my HGV for the first time, I have been put on a 3 year renewal, so that sort of made me sit up and look at myself. The DVLA have stipulated that testing should be carried out "Twice a day and at times when relevant to driving", ambiguous, yup, but at...

Hello Zhaith.. It sounds like we have had a mirror image year, apart from my Doctor being ok! Like you, I've had to put up with a bit of late, and let's just say there's a bit of snow on the rooftop.. I have noticed that my BG levels rise sharply when I get stressed, which is pretty often at...

Don't worry, there is hope.. Redline, Def Leppard, Motorhead, AC/DC are all regulars here.. As well as Napalm Death, Avenged Sevenfold, Rammstein and Hawkwind! On the flip side Carmina Burana has to be the best piece of Opera ever to exist.. Ask Mr. (Ozzy) Osbourne! Some alternatives as well...

I was 36/7 when first diagnosed, tell her to take a running one! :thumbup:

Thaks so much for the replies and info.. My problem is that I am a proper foodie, and love trying new stuff, I adore to cook and my home made sauces are pretty good even though I say meself! :thumbup: Protein isn't a problem, nor are fresh veggies, as that is what I do, I deliver fresh veg...

Am an ex Gamekepper so dogs are in my blood.. I only have Jack now, as our house is too small and surrounded by scallies... I've owned Lakelands, Borders, Fox and many a Jack Russell...

Thanks for reply! Eat? anything and everything.. in quite large portions, I akways feel patronised when I have had the "Advice" from the dietary expert at my local GP.. She resembles Shamu, how can I take her seriously? :D Here's an average days eating. Breakfast. Cereal ( malted...
