That however is not what I said. Changing would increase wastage as most will always refuse healthy options. I sat in a pub recently and must have heard 99% of people refuse salad & go for chips. Using these corporations in anyway is supporting those who make people sick in the first place. A...

As diabetics many of us stick to food & drinks we have found work for us & more importantly which don't. Personally I know that my home made bread & brown basmati rice are my thing along with only eating vegetables that grow above the ground. I also love a Mocha coffee. However when I leave my...

Everyone speaks of quantity never quality of carb. Really good bread that's home made is the best

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree. I have been diabetic for many years & only eat bread that I have made. Most shop bread contains 16ish ingredients mine just five. It's not just quantity of carb but quality. Make a dough add 50% more yeast, allow to rise, knock back & freeze in portions...

Och '50x used lancets' your a tough one!

As your on medication you are exempt from prescription charges. You need a form from your GP and it covers all prescriptions not just diabetic ones. Info on test strips sounds good, I get them scripted as using insulin

How wonderfully rebellious & delicious

Worth a look it's from diabetes India just like this site. https://healthunlocked.com/diabetesindia/posts/1233326/all-you-wanted-to-know-about-methi..-fenugreek

I make my yoghurt in a maker from Lakeland (£20) You then have the choice of milk you use. I often strain it to make it thicker if I use skimmed milk (remove 300ml per 1L of yoghurt). You can also strain it for about 36 hours and end up with a creamy yoghurt cheese, you can flavor them as you wish.

Me to thank goodness!

I cook all my food from scratch (no processed foods) so i do add when cooking but never at the table. I did have an issue last year with too little salt and am now aware how bad for you to little is.

Non diabetics blood sugars return to normal very quickly. Eating a sweet food two hours before a finger prick test would indicate if his body had produced enough insulin to deal with the carbohydrate. As I understand it would be similar to the tests pregnant women have, commonly known as the...

It's not about which type of diabetes one has. If you have items on your persecution that once used become a 'bio hazard' (pen needles & finger prickers etc) these need to be incinerated. It seems from the posts here that different areas have different set ups. Here in Hastings the first bin is...

Sounds like you work with a bunch of spineless fools if they have to run to teacher and can't speak to you about the situation. You could suggest you don't take the insulin and they can deal with result!

i make lemon coconut curd with sweetener. I replace the butter with coconut cream very sweet works for mr

Soup? I doubt soup is the problem but what has been souped may have been. Many people forget a good wholesome soup made with root veg will put BG through the roof owing to the carb in root veg. I now only eat veg that grows above the ground.
