:lol: Nope - if anything the opposite, I have eaten very little the last couple of days although the runny red stuff - (wine not blood!) and creamy coffee have been tasteing particularily good.....

Hi Omarm My 2 children are now grown up, but I can understand how you must be feeling. If diabetes is a possibilty then a finger prick test would give a snapshot of the moment. But you would need to know the circumstances in which it was done - for example how long after he had eaten or drunk...

Could you juice 'lower carb' vegetables such as broccilli? Juicing does allow faster access into the bloodstream because the fibre has mostly been removed but you may find combinations of salad leaves/vegetables that don't give you blood sugar spikes. Have to say though that some combinations...

Me too. I've started losing weight again, have more energy and have not been hungry in the 3 days I have been taking them (3 teaspoons/day). A teaspoon in the evening means I feel comfortably full all evening/night. Little miracles. But I read on one site that they have to be ground for the...

Crème brûlée - absolute addict :lol: Now I scrape off the yummy topping, but its still soooo good. I have it as a special treat with berries and make it with T & L fruit sugar because you use half the volume so effectively half the carbs of caster sugar. I haven't tried it with an artifical...

No, not flooding, East Midlands (Rutland). It has rained all day but not too heavily. Eased off this eve.

Steak, chicken or fish, use the butter meant for the rolls on the veg, coffee with cream - almost forgot the red wine :D

Thanks for that - I can now do additional tests at a more affordable cost :D

Yes, its slow for me too.

There is this: "What exactly was the research diet? To carry out the research study the following diet was used: a. One sachet of a liquid formula diet three times per day. There are several proprietary brands. The study used Optifast. b. Three portions of non-starchy vegetables per day. As the...

1 apple is a lot more expensive than 2 Rich Tea biscuits! and I doubt you've been given cream for the coffee :roll: :lol: I don't really miss biscuits, except perhaps the occassional PACKET of Jaffa Cakes I used to eat :shh:

Hi Abouna This is where I found out about the Newcastle Diet : http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/di ... versal.htm But if you search this forum there is more info about putting it into practise. The complete food used in the trial isn't easily available but people on here have used...

Hi Zoe Welcome (and what a good GP you must have to send you here!). It sounds like you have the right attitude and are making good progress already with that weight loss. Having a young child must make dealing with the diagnosis harder because you know how much they rely and need you. You...

Eating bread increases my blood pressure, from a norm of around 110-120 over 70-80 to a worst reading of 162 over 95. I have done several trials. There was no evidence of an allergic reaction to wheat in the screenings my doctor did for me. Low carbing and avoiding foods that cause my bg to...

Jacuzzi - at a spa Consult with a doctor first: Read the H & S sign as I settled down to my first experience of said item. Couldn't see a phone, decided it was too late anyway :shifty: :lol:

I had intended to not ever buy or eat diabetic chocolate, but my son bought me a box of Thornton's chocolates for my birthday. Not wanting to reprogramme my body to crave sweet food, but also not wanting to hurt my son's feelings, I had some. 5 in fact, through an evening. They were not what I...
